What harm does chronic prostatitis have?
1、 Affect fertility
First of all, we should recognize that when inflammation occurs in the prostate, the secretion of the prostate decreases, which reduces the amount of semen and interferes with the survival and activity of sperm. At the same time, it decreases the enzyme activity in the prostate fluid, increases the viscosity of semen, and prolongs the liquefaction time; Inflammation can also lower the pH value of semen and cause the body to produce anti sperm antibodies, leading to sperm death; Prostate fluid contains a large amount of bacteria and bacterial toxins, which can consume the nutritional components of seminal plasma, thereby affecting the survival of sperm. Early treatment of chronic prostatitis can completely avoid the occurrence of infertility.
2、 Causing sexual dysfunction
Many patients with chronic prostatitis can experience varying degrees of sexual dysfunction, such as ejaculation, premature ejaculation, and impotence. Chronic prostatitis does not directly damage the neurovascular function of penile erection, but the long-term discomfort of prostate patients often creates psychological stress in patients, causing them to experience depression and worry. Especially patients who do not understand the nature of the disease often believe that their sexual function is problematic, and over time, psychological factors can reduce the patient's libido and cause sexual dysfunction.
Prostatitis patients with prostate congestion during sexual arousal can cause local pain to worsen, and can produce ejaculatory pain and premature ejaculation. Moreover, some patients are afraid that inflammatory semen may harm the woman, and over time, they may develop a fear of sexual life, resulting in reduced sexual life and decreased libido. In fact, a normal and moderate sexual life not only does not aggravate prostatitis, but also can play a positive role in promoting the treatment of chronic prostatitis.
3、 Causes chronic nephritis and may even develop into uremia
"If prostatitis is not treated promptly, it can lead to hyperplasia of the prostate, compressing the bladder outlet, making urine not completely empty, and residual urine can appear.". Residual urine is a good culture medium for bacterial proliferation, coupled with impaired defense mechanisms of the bladder mucosa, which can easily lead to urinary tract infections such as pyelonephritis. If treatment is not thorough at this time, it can develop from pyelonephritis, hydronephrosis, etc., to nephritis, and eventually to uremia.
Health Tip: Chronic prostatitis has many hazards. If men experience symptoms similar to prostatitis, they should seek treatment at the hospital as soon as possible.
