The prostate gland is the largest accessory gonad in men, and its secreted prostate fluid is an important component of semen. It also has the function of nourishing sperm and promoting egg fertilization, which is also very important for male fertility.
The prostate is located below the pubic bone at the rear of the urethra, and its opening is connected to the urethra. Due to its unique location, the prostate is also a "busy place" for men, which is prone to inflammatory reactions. Therefore, the incidence rate of prostatitis is continuously high. Clinical investigations have shown that young and middle-aged men are the main targets of prostatitis.
Causes of prostate disease
Decreased immunity and bacterial infection are the main causes of bacterial prostatitis. Because the prostate communicates with the outside world through the urethra, bacteria can easily seize the opportunity to enter and cause infection when tired, nervous, drinking alcohol, or when the pudenda rubs against the seat during long-term cycling. The occurrence of non bacterial prostatitis is mainly related to chronic congestion of the prostate, with frequent sexual activity and chronic constipation as inducing factors. Chronic prostatitis can also evolve from incomplete treatment of acute diseases. Microbial infections are also one of the causes of prostatitis, which can be caused by allergic reactions to viruses and physical and mental health factors.
In fact, the causes of prostatitis are very complex, and the symptoms of prostatitis vary, and it can be seen that the symptoms are not proportional to the severity of inflammation. For example, in some patients, the prostate fluid contains a large number of pus cells but has no symptoms, while in some patients, the prostate fluid examination is close to normal or even within the normal range, but the clinical symptoms are very serious.
Therefore, patients with prostatitis should also go to formal medical institutions for medical treatment. Only qualified professional hospitals can provide scientific diagnosis and treatment for complex prostate diseases, otherwise it will only delay the treatment opportunity and increase the difficulty of treatment in the future.
Prolonged treatment of prostatitis is prone to ED
The impact of prostatitis on patients cannot be ignored, such as severe physical discomfort or inconvenience, and harm to overall health. In addition, it has to be mentioned that prostatitis can also greatly cause sexual dysfunction in men.
According to doctors, clinically, patients with prostatitis have varying degrees of sexual dysfunction. In the long-term diagnosis and treatment of male diseases, it can be found that prostatitis is one of the most important causes of sexual dysfunction.
