Does prostate hyperplasia affect sexual function?

Prostatic hyperplasia is a very common disease, especially in middle-aged men, which will have a great impact on their daily life. Therefore, in daily life, male friends should quit smoking and drinking, and maintain a stable schedule and lifestyle, so as to reduce the occurrence of prostatic hyperplasia and not affect the relationship between husband and wife.

Can a man with prostate hyperplasia have sex?

People with prostate hyperplasia can have sex, but they must have an appropriate sex life, and they must pay attention to sex life. First of all, sex life is very likely to aggravate the condition of prostate hyperplasia, because sex itself is very likely to cause prostate hyperplasia to be in a state of hematoma for a long time, which will directly aggravate prostate hyperplasia. In addition, if abstinence is not conducive to the rehabilitation and treatment of prostate hyperplasia, no matter what the reason is, if the semen cannot be discharged immediately, the urinary system will also show some physiological changes such as increased metabolism on the gland duct, and prostate hyperplasia will easily affect sex life. In such sexual excitement, the increased endocrine and simultaneous hematoma caused by the male prostate have no way to be vented, which will promote prostate hyperplasia for a long time. Therefore, people with prostate hyperplasia need to have an appropriate sex life, and they must pay attention to sex life.

Will prostate hyperplasia affect male sexual function?

When the prostate enlarges, it affects the storage of semen in the posterior urethra, sometimes causing difficulty in ejaculation. In addition, as men age, the condition of the prostate may also affect the difficulty of getting an erection. Therefore, prostate enlargement generally does not have a significant impact on the quality of sexual life. However, for some patients, it still has a certain impact on the quality of sexual life.

If the male sexual function is normal before the surgery, the patient will recover within 12 weeks after the surgery, unless the erection is not working due to psychological problems. As long as the patient with prostate hyperplasia actively cooperates with the doctor's treatment, develops a good habit in daily life, and exercises more, the condition will be well cured. The patient should face the disease with a positive attitude, which will greatly help the recovery of the condition.

Symptoms of prostate hyperplasia:

1. Frequent and urgent urination

Frequent urination and urgency are the first manifestations, first at night, and then during the day. In the later stage, the detrusor muscle of the bladder fails, the residual urine increases, the effective bladder capacity decreases, and the frequent urination and urgency become more serious.

2. Difficult urination

Idiopathic urinary incontinence is a distinctive feature of this disease. The symptoms can be divided into two categories: obstructive and irritative. Obstructive symptoms include hesitant, interrupted urination, final dribbling, thin and weak urine flow, and continuous urination. Irritative symptoms include frequent urination, frequent urination at night, inability to hold urine, and painful urination. The symptoms can be aggravated by severe cold, drinking, and the use of anticholesterol drugs and antipsychotic drugs. Long-term obstruction can cause uremic symptoms such as drowsiness, constant sleepiness, nausea and vomiting.

3. Hematuria

The capillary hematoma and small capillaries on the male prostate mucosa are dilated, and they rupture and bleed due to the stretching of the bladder filling and contraction. Hematuria may also occur when there is a bladder tumor.

What causes prostate hyperplasia?

1. If a man's endocrine system is imbalanced and the testosterone content exceeds the standard, a sharp increase in androgen will easily lead to prostate hyperplasia symptoms.

2. Bad habits such as excessive sexual intercourse and excessive masturbation can cause repeated hematomas in the male prostate, leading to prostate hyperplasia.

3. Excessive smoking, drinking habits, and an unhealthy lifestyle such as a fondness for spicy and irritating foods can cause prostate hyperplasia.

4. Long-term inflammation of diseases such as prostatitis, urethritis, and seminal vesiculitis can seriously harm the male prostate and cause prostate hyperplasia.
