Can prostatitis cause premature ejaculation?

When men get older, they will also be troubled by various male problems. In addition to decreased sexual function, prostatitis has also become a more serious disease that troubles many middle-aged and elderly men. After prostatitis occurs, the normal urinary function of male friends will be deeply affected, mainly because the main function of the prostate is urinary function. But will prostatitis cause the problem of premature ejaculation?

Chronic prostatitis is a common and frequently occurring disease in men's medicine. About half of men will be affected by prostatitis at some point in their lives. Its common symptoms are mainly pelvic pain, urinary discomfort, sexual dysfunction, etc. Studies have found that chronic prostatitis and premature ejaculation are a good pair of partners. About 40% of patients with chronic prostatitis suffer from premature ejaculation. When men's doctors hear the word "premature ejaculation", they will naturally think of its close partner - "chronic prostatitis".

Many people wonder, chronic prostatitis and premature ejaculation are two completely different diseases, how can there be so many connections? Because long-term chronic inflammatory stimulation may cause tension and excitement of the sensory nerves and sympathetic nerves. The excitement of the sensory nerves leads to increased sensitivity and faster transmission of sexual stimulation to the central brain, thus reaching the ejaculation threshold faster and causing premature ejaculation; and the excitement of the sympathetic nerves can lead to increased peristalsis and contraction of the tissues and organs involved in ejaculation, such as the vas deferens, seminal vesicles, ejaculatory ducts, urethral corpus cavernosum muscles, and bulbospongiosum muscles, resulting in rapid ejaculation. In clinical practice, many patients with premature ejaculation, in addition to short duration, often describe pain and irritation in the lumbar sacral region, lower abdomen, perineum, penis, testicles and other parts, or discomfort in urination, etc. This shows that premature ejaculation accompanied by prostatitis is a very common phenomenon.

(Can chronic prostatitis lead to premature ejaculation?)

Of course, there are many patients with premature ejaculation who do not have the above-mentioned typical symptoms of chronic prostatitis, but we cannot ignore prostatitis, this good friend. Because there is a special type of prostatitis called "asymptomatic prostatitis", that is, there is no obvious discomfort, but the prostatic fluid or semen examination found that the white blood cells increased. Many patients with premature ejaculation were found to belong to this type of prostatitis after examination, or it can be considered that rapid ejaculation is a symptom of patients with "asymptomatic prostatitis". In fact, sometimes these patients do not really have no symptoms at all. In my clinic, many patients with premature ejaculation helplessly expressed that they had a subtle urge to urinate and bloating before they had thrusted a few times, and felt a little sensitive. Gradually, they could not control the feeling of ejaculation, and then they reluctantly "ejaculated". In addition, the pleasure decreased, and sometimes there was bloating and discomfort in the lower abdomen, perineum or lumbar sacral area after ejaculation. However, these symptoms do not usually appear, so many people ignore them and think that they have no discomfort except premature ejaculation. Especially for patients with secondary premature ejaculation - they were normal before, but then premature ejaculation occurred for unknown reasons, we must first consider prostatitis.

Therefore, all male friends should pay attention to protecting their prostate, control the intake of alcohol and spicy food, do not sit for a long time, hold urine, and keep warm. If the prostate function is good, the ejaculation time will be extended, and you can enjoy the wonderful taste of sex life!
