It is understood that in addition to psychological factors and mechanical damage, the vast majority of male sexual dysfunction is related to diseases of the cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, and urogenital systems. Among all diseases that cause sexual dysfunction, prostate diseases account for a significant proportion of the diseases of the urinary and reproductive system. This ratio is conservatively estimated to be between 70% and 80%!
Therefore, for the vast majority of patients with sexual dysfunction, it is completely impossible to bypass the prostate and completely get rid of sexual dysfunction.
Speaking of this, some patients with sexual dysfunction may ask: What is the relationship between the prostate and male sexual function? "Why does a lesion in the prostate cause sexual dysfunction in men?"?
Let's start with the first question: the relationship between the prostate gland and male sexual function.
It is well known that male sexual function can only be fully developed when fully stimulated. Of course, having sexual stimulation is not enough. It also requires neural tissue to sense these sexual stimuli, transmit these sexual stimuli to the brain, and then send relevant instructions to the corresponding organs and tissues after receiving the sexual stimuli, completing normal erections and ejaculation.
A significant portion of these neural tissues responsible for sensory stimulation, transmitting stimulation, and transmitting instructions are distributed within the prostate gland. The relationship between the prostate and male sexual function is based on these neural tissues within the prostate gland.
It can be said that it is impossible for an adult male to have normal sexual function without these neural tissues inside the prostate gland.
Next, let's take a look at the reasons why prostate diseases can cause male sexual dysfunction.
As mentioned earlier, in adult men, without the neural tissue inside the prostate gland, there is no normal sexual function. In fact, adult men have neural tissue inside the prostate gland, but these neural tissues are abnormal, and it is also impossible to have normal sexual function.
Once the prostate gland undergoes pathological changes, the stimulation of the nerve tissue within the prostate gland can form, causing chronic excitation of the nerve tissue; In severe cases, it can cause damage and necrosis of the nerve tissue inside the prostate, leading to a decrease or even loss of the sensory and conductive functions of the nerve tissue.
Chronic excitation of nerve tissue within the prostate gland can spread to the brain, easily causing sexual dysfunction symptoms such as hyperactivity, abnormal erections, and rapid ejaculation; "In the prostate gland, the sensory and conductive functions of nerve tissue decrease, and normal sexual stimulation is difficult to be normally felt and transmitted to the brain. However, the related instructions issued by the brain are difficult to be transmitted to the corresponding organs and tissues, making it easy to experience symptoms of sexual dysfunction such as slow erection, weak erection, short and firm erection, and inability to erect.".
To put it bluntly, the main reason why prostate disease can cause sexual dysfunction in men is that prostate disease causes chronic excitation or damage to the nerve tissue inside the prostate.
