The dangers of acute prostatitis

What we fear most about prostate diseases is acute onset. Diseases occur rapidly, and careless people will not find the disease until the symptoms increase. The disease will be diagnosed only after examination, and the good opportunity for treatment will be missed, thus increasing the harm of acute prostatitis. After contracting the disease, the treatment is not complicated, but it is very difficult to cure the disease. It is recommended that patients understand the harm and prevent the disease. So what are the harms of acute prostatitis?

1. Pain affects work and life. Due to the stimulation of acute prostatitis, patients may develop a series of symptoms, such as swelling and pain in the lumbar sacral area, perineum, testicles, etc., urinary incontinence, frequent urination at night, etc., which will make patients irritable and affect their work and life.

2. Affecting fertility can lead to infertility. Long-term inflammation can cause changes in the composition of prostatic fluid, affecting the secretory function of the prostate, and further affecting the liquefaction time of semen, reducing sperm motility, and can lead to male infertility.

3. Lead to chronic nephritis and even develop into uremia. If acute 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 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 into uremia.

4. Prone to infection. The human prostate contains an antibacterial substance called prostate antibacterial factor. When the prostate is inflamed, this antibacterial factor decreases, so it is easy to cause infection. Infection caused by prostatitis can lead to acute urinary retention, acute seminal vesiculitis or epididymitis, vas deferens, spermatic cord lymph node enlargement or tenderness and other diseases.

5. Prone to tumors. The latest research shows that normal prostate fluid contains an anti-cancer substance, which is important for inhibiting tumors. When the prostate is diseased, this anti-cancer substance decreases, making it easy to cause tumors.

6. Affecting sexual function, leading to impotence and premature ejaculation. If acute prostatitis is not cured for a long time, various symptoms and discomfort will worsen after sexual intercourse, or directly affect the feeling and quality of sexual life, causing a kind of malignant stimulation to the patient, gradually developing a sense of disgust, leading to impotence, premature ejaculation and other phenomena.

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

8. Infecting spouses and causing gynecological inflammation. Prostatitis can be transmitted to wives, especially prostatitis caused by some special bacteria, the inflammation can be transmitted to wives through sexual intercourse.

After reading this article, we found that acute prostatitis has many hazards, which are very serious for men and their partners. Therefore, we should be cautious in treating the disease. In order to avoid the occurrence of the disease, we'd better prevent the disease and avoid the occurrence of adverse factors of the disease. After contracting the disease, we still need to treat it. The methods of treating the disease include drugs, surgery, etc. After treatment, we still need to take care to prevent the recurrence of the disease.
