What harm does chronic prostatitis do to the body?

Chronic prostatitis is a very common disease. Many men who come to the hospital for treatment are patients of this type. This disease is a prostate disease that has a great impact and harm on patients. It is easy to relapse and makes patients very troubled. However, many patients still neglect the treatment of this disease because they do not understand its harm very well and do not know its severity. So, what harm does chronic prostatitis do to the body? Let me introduce it below.

The hazards of chronic prostatitis are as follows:

1. Infertility. Chronic prostatitis is also a very important cause of infertility. Since prostatic fluid is an important component of semen, once the prostate is inflamed, the glandular secretion fluid will increase due to inflammatory exudates and reduce zinc, which will affect the quality of semen. For example, poor semen liquefaction will lead to decreased sperm motility and activity rate, affecting conception. Of course, this effect is not inevitable. The key lies in the changes in the quality and quantity of semen and sperm.

2. Erectile dysfunction (ED). Some patients suffer from stagnation of qi and blood due to damp heat or long-term inflammation, while some patients are too nervous to have sex. Over time, this affects their sexual function and leads to symptoms of ED of varying severity.

3. Chronic seminal vesiculitis. This is a common complication of chronic prostatitis. The seminal vesicles are located on both sides of the prostate and are connected by ducts. Therefore, during the chronic course of the disease, inflammation spreads along the ducts. The two often exist at the same time and affect each other. Over time, it can obviously lead to male sexual dysfunction, or symptoms such as hematospermia and ejaculation pain.

4. Posterior urethritis. Chronic prostatitis is often complicated with posterior urethritis, especially those caused by urinary tract infection. In clinical practice, urinary tract irritation is often the first symptom of chronic prostatitis, so some non-andrologists often mistake this for common urethritis.

5. Premature ejaculation. Since the prostate is the valve that controls ejaculation, if this valve becomes inflamed, it will become allergic and congested due to stimulation, and when there is sexual impulse, it will be uncontrollable (especially in young men), and ejaculation will occur quickly. Allergy is actually a decrease in the threshold for impulsive stimulation, so people with prostatitis are generally accompanied by premature ejaculation.

The above content introduces the harm of chronic prostatitis to the body. Men should be reminded not to be too busy with work and ignore their own health. If you want to be healthy, you need healthy living habits. This is very important. For those who are sick, active treatment is also very important, and they should pay attention to changing their bad habits and let their bodies recover as soon as possible.
