Some people may not know that the prostate gland can cause other diseases, and may also affect men's sexual life, which can lead to male infertility. What are the complications of prostatitis?
What are the complications of prostatitis
The location of the prostate is very special, with the urethra traversing it and connecting the urethra, vas deferens, and other male most important urinary and sexual organs. Therefore, the emergence of prostatitis can easily cause many other male diseases. Such as epididymitis, seminal vesiculitis, and so on.
The reason why prostatitis makes men feel intimidating is that, in addition to the troubles it poses to men, it is due to these complications. As it occupies a "strategic location", an important component of semen - prostate fluid - is secreted by it, and the urethra also passes through its territory. Therefore, currently known male diseases that can be caused by prostatitis include:
Post urethritis: Chronic prostatitis is often associated with post urethritis, especially those caused by urinary tract infections. In clinical practice, urinary tract irritation is often the first symptom of chronic prostatitis, so some non andrologists often mistake it for common urethritis.
Epididymitis: Chronic prostatitis and epididymitis often coexist, and inflammation can invade the epididymis, causing chronic epididymitis. There is swelling, pain, and discomfort in the epididymis, with a feeling of falling and swelling, especially after sexual intercourse.
Chronic seminal vesiculitis: This is the most common complication of chronic prostatitis. "The seminal vesicles are located on both sides of the prostate, and there are channels that communicate with each other. Therefore, in the course of chronic disease, inflammation expands along the channels, and the two often coexist and interact with each other.". Over time, it can significantly lead to male sexual dysfunction, or symptoms such as bloody semen, ejaculation pain, etc.
Instructions for Protecting "Glands" in Autumn
According to relevant doctors, after the beginning of the Autumn Festival, men should drink as much water as possible. The average person should drink more than 2 liters of boiled water every day, which can achieve flushing of the urethra through urination, promote the discharge of prostate secretions, and prevent prostate infection; Also try to quit smoking, alcohol, and spicy food. These all have a stimulating effect on the prostate and urethra, can cause temporary perineal discomfort, and can also cause congestion and edema in the prostate and bladder neck, resulting in a decrease in prostate resistance; In addition, it is also important to pay attention to local warmth preservation. Maintaining a warm local environment can reduce the pressure in the prostate and seminal tract, relax smooth muscle fibers, reduce outlet resistance, and ensure smooth drainage of the prostate. In addition, it is also necessary to avoid prolonged sitting, moderate marital life, and strengthen physical exercise.
