Can prostatitis turn into cancer?

Some men's sexual function is also affected, and symptoms such as premature ejaculation or impotence occur, which are mostly caused by the patient's psychological factors. Chronic prostatitis generally does not cause prostate cancer. At least it is clear that chronic prostatitis will not directly cause prostate cancer. At this stage, the cause of prostate cancer is still unclear.

Will chronic prostatitis cause disease? Although chronic prostatitis is not likely to cause disease, it still has the following harms:

It harms kidney function. The inflamed and swollen prostate of men will compress the urethral opening, causing urethral obstruction, water retention in the kidneys and chronic renal failure.

It affects fertility because of abnormal semen metabolism, which affects the survival and quality of male sperm, and can cause seminal vesiculitis, ejaculation bleeding, and infertility.

Erectile dysfunction, inflammation causes damage to the sexual impulse nerves, directly affecting the couple's life and even the relationship between the couple. Fourth, long-term inflammation will cause low immunity and increase the chance of bacterial infection. Therefore, if you have prostatitis, you must treat it in time.

1. Subacute bacterial infection prostatitis occurs suddenly, with chills and high fever, frequent urination, urgency, inability to hold urine, and pain during urination. It may cause urination difficulties or urine retention. In clinical medicine, it is usually secondary acute cystitis. The prostate is swollen, tender, and the temperature rises locally. The surface is smooth, and cysts are round or wavy.

2. Chronic bacterial infection of prostatitis has symptoms of frequent urination, urgency, inability to hold urine, pain during urination, discomfort or burning sensation at the urethral opening during urination. White discharge often appears from the urethral opening after urination and defecation. Sometimes there may be bleeding during ejaculation, pain in the perineum, erectile dysfunction, and mental and neurological symptoms. The male prostate is round, enlarged, soft, and slightly painful. Current medical history: In elderly patients, the male prostate becomes smaller, hardened, and has an unclear surface with small lumps.

3. Chronic nonbacterial prostatitis and prostate pain have similar clinical symptoms to chronic bacterial prostatitis, but without a history of recurrent urinary tract infections. The main symptoms are urethral irritation and dysuria, especially the main manifestations of chronic pelvic pain syndrome. Chlamydia and mycoplasma can be found in the semen of some patients.
