What harm does prostatitis cause?

The harm of prostatitis is relatively large. If it is acute prostatitis, patients will often experience pain, which will cause some symptoms of the urinary system. At the same time, because of the inflammation, it is easy to transmit the bacteria to one's spouse, which can easily cause some gynecological diseases. In addition, it will affect the production of sperm, leading to male infertility. It is also very harmful to the kidneys and can even easily induce uremia.

1. Pain

Affecting work and life. Due to the stimulation of inflammation, a series of symptoms are produced, such as swelling and pain in the lumbar sacral area, perineum, testicles, etc., incomplete urination, frequent urination at night, etc., which make patients irritable and affect their work and life.

2. Impact on Fertility

Long-term chronic inflammation causes changes in the composition of prostatic fluid, affecting the secretory function of the prostate, which in turn affects the liquefaction time of semen and reduces sperm motility, which can lead to male infertility.

3. Gynecological inflammation caused by infection of spouse

Prostatitis can be transmitted to the wife, especially prostatitis caused by some special bacteria, whose inflammation can be transmitted to the wife through sexual intercourse, such as fungal prostatitis, trichomonas prostatitis, gonorrhea prostatitis, non-gonococcal (chlamydia, mycoplasma) prostatitis, etc.

4. Causes endocrine disorders

Cause mental abnormality. Under normal circumstances, the prostate can secrete a variety of active substances. Due to prostate inflammation and endocrine disorders, neurasthenia and mental abnormality may occur; symptoms such as insomnia, fatigue, dizziness, slow thinking, and memory loss may also occur.

5. Leading to uremia

If prostatitis is not treated in time, it can lead to prostate hyperplasia, which will compress the bladder outlet, making it impossible to completely empty the urine, resulting in residual urine. Residual urine is a good culture medium for bacterial reproduction, and the bladder mucosal defense mechanism is damaged, so it is very easy to cause urinary tract infections such as pyelonephritis. If the treatment is not thorough at this time, pyelonephritis, hydronephrosis, etc. will develop into nephritis and finally develop into uremia.

The above is an introduction to the harm of prostatitis. You must take a good look at it. Since the harm of this disease is so great, we certainly cannot delay treatment, otherwise the consequences will definitely be serious. I hope you can take your health seriously and don't be careless.
