What are the harms of prostatitis to the body

The prostate is a very important part of the male body. If the prostate has symptoms of disease, it will be very detrimental to the health of the body. Common prostate diseases include prostatitis and prostate hypertrophy. The symptoms of prostatitis may lead to a decline in some body functions. So what are the harms of prostatitis to the body? Let us introduce it to you below.

1. Prone to infection: The human prostate contains an antibacterial substance called prostate antibacterial factor. When the prostate is inflamed, this antibacterial factor decreases, which is prone to infection. Infection caused by prostatitis can lead to acute urinary retention, acute seminal vesiculitis or epididymitis, vas deferens, enlarged or tender spermatic lymph nodes, etc. In severe cases, groin pain or renal angina may occur.

2. Leading to chronic nephritis: 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.

3. Susceptible to tumors: Viruses are also a possible cause. A retrospective study in the United States found that there was a statistically significant relationship between the prostate and the incidence of gonorrhea, which led to the suggestion that the cause of prostate cancer is related to viral STDs and chronic infections. The latest research shows that normal prostate fluid contains an anti-cancer substance that is important for inhibiting tumors. When the prostate is diseased, this anti-cancer substance decreases, making it easy to cause tumors.

4. Impact on sexual function: leading to impotence and premature ejaculation. As the disease has not been cured for a long time, various symptoms and discomforts worsen after sexual intercourse, or directly affect the feeling and quality of sexual life, causing a kind of malignant stimulation to the patient, gradually showing a kind of disgust for sex, leading to impotence, premature ejaculation and other phenomena.

5. 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.

Prostatitis is very harmful to the body. If it is not treated and controlled in a timely and effective manner after the symptoms of prostatitis appear, the symptoms of prostatitis will cause sexual ability and other body functions to be impaired. In severe cases, it may even pose a greater threat to life safety. Therefore, everyone must actively prevent prostatitis in normal times.
