Does prostate disease affect sex life?

Men's health is a very important issue in life, because men's health plays a basic supporting role for the family, especially in the relationship between husband and wife, it must be based on the strong sexual ability of men. The sexual ability of men is affected by many factors. For example, prostatitis is a male reproductive health problem. Let's take a look at whether prostatitis affects sex life.

Many patients with prostatitis are worried that prostatitis will affect the quality of their sexual life. Prostatitis has a certain impact on men's sexual life.

The prostate is one of the important accessory glands of the human body and is also a refueling station for the sexual life of couples. The semen that accompanies orgasm is a combination of fluids secreted by accessory glands such as the epididymis, seminal vesicles, prostate glands, and bulbourethral glands. Among them, prostatic fluid accounts for 30%-40% of the total semen, second only to seminal vesicle fluid, so it plays a very important role in sexual life.

Patients with chronic prostatitis may have varying degrees of sexual dysfunction. The first symptom is usually a loss of libido. As the disease worsens, chronic inflammation causes atrophy of the prostate epithelial cells and endocrine disorders, leading to impotence. Some patients may also experience symptoms such as premature ejaculation, spermatorrhea, or abnormal penile erection.

This is because the stimulation of inflammation causes the lower spinal cord to become more excited. The abnormal excitement of the lower erection and ejaculation centers can easily cause the penis to have a sustained erection or increase nocturnal emission, which in turn causes repeated congestion and swelling of the prostate tissue, aggravating prostatitis and forming a vicious cycle. At the same time, it will interfere with the normal activities of the higher brain centers, causing neurasthenia and depression in patients, and can also aggravate inflammation and sexual dysfunction. Due to the inflammatory reaction of the prostate and surrounding tissues, the sensitivity of sexual stimulation is increased, and during sexual intercourse, premature ejaculation often occurs before orgasm is reached.

From the above data, it can be seen that prostatitis will have a certain impact on sexual life. The andrology experts of Luoyang Renhe Hospital recommend that friends with prostatitis must go to a regular professional hospital for examination as soon as possible and receive scientific and standardized diagnosis and treatment to avoid affecting their "sexual happiness" life.
