Chronic prostatitis is a disease of prostatitis. For prostatitis, the harm of chronic prostatitis is greater. It not only harms health, but also causes various concurrent diseases, which can cause unexpected harm to future health. Below, experts will explain in detail the four major complications to prevent chronic prostatitis.
Firstly, uremia
Chronic prostatitis patients have common complications, which can easily lead to chronic nephritis, even uremia, leading to chronic nephritis and even developing into uremia. If left untreated, prostatitis can cause prostate hyperplasia to compress the bladder outlet, causing urine to not be completely emptied, resulting in residual urine. Residual urine is a good breeding ground for bacterial proliferation, and the defense mechanism of the bladder mucosa is damaged, This can easily lead to urinary tract infections, causing diseases such as pyelonephritis. If not treated thoroughly at this time, the patient may develop from pyelonephritis, hydronephrosis, etc. to nephritis, and eventually to uremia.
Secondly, it affects life and work
Patients with chronic prostatitis develop a series of symptoms due to the stimulation of inflammation, such as swelling and pain in the lumbosacral region, perineum, testicles, and other parts, impure urination, and frequent nocturia, which can cause restlessness and affect the work and life of chronic prostatitis.
Thirdly, influential functions
Chronic prostatitis is a serious disease that can lead to sexual dysfunction in male patients, including erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation. Due to the long-term failure to cure the disease, various symptoms and discomfort may worsen or directly affect the sensation and quality of sexual life, causing a malignant stimulus to the patient and gradually leading to erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation.
Fourth, affecting fertility
The harm of prostatitis affects fertility, which can lead to infertility. Long term chronic inflammation changes the composition of prostatic fluid, affects the secretion function of the prostate, affects the liquefaction time of semen, and reduces sperm motility, which can lead to male infertility.
