Is there a relationship between prostate and sexual function?

According to statistics, in addition to psychological factors and mechanical injuries, most of the erectile dysfunction in men is related to cardiovascular and urinary system diseases. Among all the diseases that cause erectile dysfunction, male prostate diseases account for a very large proportion of urinary system diseases. This proportion, conservatively estimated, is about 70%-80%!

Therefore, for most patients with erectile dysfunction, it is simply a pipe dream to completely solve erectile dysfunction by bypassing the male prostate. At this point, some patients with erectile dysfunction may ask: What is the relationship between the male prostate and male sexual function? How can the changes in the male prostate cause erectile dysfunction in men?

Let's look at the first question: the relationship between the male prostate and male sexual function. As we all know, male sexual function can only be fully exerted when there is sufficient sexual excitement. Of course, it is not enough to have sexual excitement. The nervous system needs to perceive this sexual excitement and transmit it to the human brain. After the human brain receives the sexual excitement, it sends out relevant commands to the corresponding human organ tissues to achieve normal erection (male genitals) and normal ejaculation.

A large part of this nerve tissue, which is responsible for receiving sexual stimulation, transmitting sexual excitement, and transmitting sexual commands, is distributed inside the glandular duct of the male prostate. The relationship between the male prostate and male sexual function is established in this nerve tissue inside the male prostate gland duct. It can be said that it is impossible for adult men to have normal male sexual function without this nerve tissue inside the male prostate gland duct.

Next, let's discuss the reasons why male prostate disease can cause male erectile dysfunction. As mentioned before, adult men do not have normal male sexual function without the nerve tissue inside the male prostate gland duct. In fact, adult men have the nerve tissue inside the male prostate gland duct, but if this nerve tissue is abnormal, it is impossible to have normal male sexual function.

Once the male prostate becomes diseased, it can cause mild irritation to the nerve tissue inside the male prostate gland duct, causing chronic excitement of the nerve tissue; in severe cases, it can lead to damage and necrosis of the nerve tissue inside the male prostate, causing the nerve tissue's sensory and transmission functions to decrease, or even disappear.

The diffuse excitement of nerve tissue inside the male prostate gland duct spreads to the human brain, which can easily lead to erectile dysfunction symptoms such as hypersexuality, abnormal penile erection, and premature ejaculation. The nerve tissue perception and transmission functions inside the male prostate gland duct are reduced, and normal sexual excitement cannot be perceived and transmitted to the human brain normally, and the relevant commands issued by the human brain cannot be transmitted to the corresponding organ tissues of the human body, which can easily lead to erectile dysfunction symptoms such as slow erection, insufficient erection, short erection, and inability to achieve erection.

Male prostate disease can often cause erectile dysfunction in men. The key reason depends on male prostate disease, which leads to chronic excitement or damage and necrosis of the nerve tissue inside the male prostate.
