3.1. Discomfort when urinating

Due to the invasion of inflammation, the patient's urethra is blocked, which in turn increases the patient's resistance to urination. If the patient does not treat the disease in time after becoming ill, the condition will worsen. The most direct manifestation of the harm of common prostatitis is that the patient will experience various bladder irritation symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency and pain when urinating.

Chronic prostatitis does not directly damage the neurovascular function of penile erection, but patients with prostatitis will have congestion of the prostate during sexual excitement, which can cause local pain to increase, and can also cause ejaculation pain and premature ejaculation.

3.3 Psychological pressure

Some patients with chronic prostatitis become too nervous, have heavy mental burdens, or are depressed and in severe cases suffer from neurasthenia, which can suppress sexual excitement and reduce sexual function, especially for patients who do not understand the nature of the disease.
