Small editors can often see the slogan "If you suffer from prostatitis, it will lead to ED (impotence)" in medical leaflets or advertisements. This wrong interpretation brings a burden to the patients with prostatitis, who are worried that they will really develop into ED; And some ED patients will form the concept that ED is caused by prostatitis. So, is prostatitis and ED causal?
Prostatitis patients with ED are "heart" diseases
Whether prostatitis will affect sexual function cannot be generalized. Theoretically, due to the stimulation of prostatitis, local congestion, edema and other symptoms do interfere with sexual activity.
Some patients with prostatitis may indeed have ED, but even without prostatitis, male friends will also have ED, and there is no causal relationship between the two. Because there are also patients with chronic prostatitis who have suffered from sexual function for many years. Therefore, patients with prostatitis should not have any psychological pressure.
In addition, complete and harmonious sexual function requires normal internal and external reproductive organs, neuroreflex system, endocrine system and penile vascular system. Chronic prostatitis has no direct adverse effects on the above systems. Therefore, it will not directly damage the sexual function, but may only affect the sexual function through indirect effects, such as pain and discomfort in the lower abdomen and perineum, ejaculation pain and greater psychological stress. And ED patients will not have the above symptoms, so most chronic prostatitis has no connection with ED.
Why ED is easy to treat as prostatitis
The symptoms of ED are not all caused by prostatitis, but some ED patients blindly believe in small advertisements and go to informal medical institutions to treat ED according to the method of prostatitis. The two concepts are completely different. Doing so will cause damage to the prostate and let the bacteriovirus take advantage of it. In the end, not only ED is not cured, but also "lost the wife and lost the soldier", resulting in prostatitis.
If you have prostatitis, you can relieve mental stress by improving the symptoms of frequent urination and perineal pain, which is beneficial to improve the symptoms of ED. On the other hand, active treatment of ED can increase men's self-confidence, control anxiety and depression, and help increase regular life. It can make men regularly discharge semen, which is equivalent to regularly discharge the inflammatory secretion of the prostate, which is also helpful for the improvement of prostatitis patients.
In short, prostatitis and ED have a certain relationship, but they do not constitute a causal relationship. It can be said that they are not "unfamiliar". Even if prostatitis and ED occur at the same time, there is no need to put too much psychological burden on yourself. As long as we eliminate unnecessary concerns and go to regular hospitals for treatment step by step, we can control prostatitis and ED well.
