Prostatitis, frequent urination, urgency, and tolerance have passed, and sexual function has begun to decline. How can we tolerate it

Baidu, you know, men with prostatitis are just like catching a cold. Occasionally, they are fanatical and have no pain. After eating spicy food and drinking alcohol, they will be better off after a few days of fuss. It's just a bit of frequent urination and urgency, and the tolerance will pass

"I didn't realize the seriousness of the problem until sexual function began to decline. How can men not?"?

Prostatitis is like a man's "cold", which can generally be alleviated and cured through standardized treatment. Prostatitis does not cause damage to blood vessels and nerves under the silver microscope, nor does it affect the production of androgens in the testis. Its impact on sexual function is more likely due to psychological and local factors. These effects can be eliminated as the symptoms of prostatitis improve, and there is no need to worry too much.

However, in order to further dispel everyone's doubts, let's talk about why prostatitis causes decreased sexual function. Prostate experts say that the main reasons are as follows:

First, the transformation of male hormones is affected.

The prostate is the largest gonadal organ in men, and there is an enzyme in its cells - 5 α- Hydrogenase. This enzyme has an important function of converting testosterone produced by the testes into dihydrotestosterone with more physiological activity, which is supplied to various tissues and organs throughout the body through blood circulation, playing a true role as a male hormone. To put it figuratively, the prostate acts as a "converter" of male hormones.

After the glands become rigid and harden, this "converter" cannot perform its normal work, and in addition to normal sexual functions, systemic functions may also be affected. This is precisely the reason why prostate disease causes sexual dysfunction, accompanied by other systemic symptoms.

Second, nerve conduction and regulatory functions are impaired.

In the interior of the prostate gland, a large number of nerve tissues and ganglia are crisscrossed. It is these neural tissues that are responsible for the sensation and transmission of sexual stimuli during male sexual life. These neural tissues, on the one hand, transmit sexual stimuli to the brain, generating sexual excitement and pleasure; On the other hand, it can continuously spread the sexy sensation in the brain throughout the body. This virtuous cycle of "upload and release" leads to waves of sexual excitement, culminating in orgasm.

After the rigidity and sclerosis of the anterior column glands, the nerves within the glands are damaged, which not only affects the conduction function of nerve to sexual stimulation, but also affects the contraction and relaxation of nerve to blood vessels, thereby causing the most direct impact on sexual function.

Third, the elasticity of the gland decreases, and the function of controlling and completing ejaculation is poor.

Controlling ejaculation freely is a key link in good sexual function, and it is also the most common problem that plagues men. The completion of ejaculation is also a sign of orgasm achieved through sexual pleasure. The ejaculatory function of men depends on the control and regulation of nerves on the one hand, and on the elasticity of the glands on the other hand. After the glands become rigid and sclerotic, not only are the nerves damaged, but also their elasticity decreases, leading to obstacles in controlling and completing ejaculation.

In addition, frequent urination and urgency should not be ignored. Learn about these urination symptoms.

Urination frequency: should not exceed 8 times per day

Theoretically, a person should not urinate more than 8 times per day. Seven times during the day and one time at night, which is the best ratio. However, due to individual drinking water consumption, it is also normal to urinate 4-6 times during the day, and it is best not to urinate more than 2 times at night.

However, if you drink more water before bedtime, the number of times you wake up will also increase, which is normal. If you don't drink much water at night but stay up all the time, you should be alert to the possibility of illness and go to the hospital for further examination if necessary.

Urine volume: 1500ml per day

The normal amount of water to drink is 2000-3000 milliliters, and the normal amount of urine is around 1500-2000.

Generally speaking, people drink too much and urinate too much. Some people cannot urinate as much, but at least not less than 800. Both oliguria and polyuria are pathological conditions, requiring identification of the cause and targeted treatment.
