Prostatitis can affect a man's health and cause a variety of problems, including sexual function. To all intents and purposes, prostatitis does not directly impair male sexual function, because the male's normal erection is related to the anatomy structure of the penis, nervous system, vascular system and endocrine system, and the prostatitis basically has no direct adverse effect on each system above.
Prostatitis is divided into acute prostatitis and chronic prostatitis, in which patients with chronic prostatitis can indeed suffer from erectile dysfunction and other sexual dysfunction, which is mainly because of the following two factors:
1. Patients with chronic prostatitis may have exuberant sexual desire at early stages. If not controlled, the related nerve center will be too tired, making sexual excitement shade into suppression, resulting in low sexual function. With the prolongation of the course of disease, inflammation, congestion and edema in the prostate and seminal vesicle will be gradually aggravated.
Further development of the disease may lead to the prostate tissue fibrosis, blood vessels and gland tube occlusion, plus the internal and external secretion function will be seriously affected, so it is easy to give rise to the erectile dysfunction.
2. Psychological factor should not be underestimated. The mental status of patient suffering from chronic prostatitis can become relatively unstable and anxious, which may also influence the male sexual desire and lead to the decline of sexual function, resulting in erectile dysfunction. The physical discomfort caused by prostatitis has a negative chain reaction to sexual activity, which makes patients psychologically burdened and affects the quality of their sexual life over time.
As a result, the early and sufficient treatment of prostate disease is the key to a healthy and happy life. Commonly, the herbal medicine Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill produced by Dr. Lee Xiaoping is a nice recommendation. It strictly adheres to the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine, and manages to eliminate urogenital symptoms and eradicate the root causes. Its effect reacts on the whole urogenital system with no side effects.
As for the erectile dysfunction, besides the chronic prostatitis, it can also be caused by other factors. As for the treatment of erectile dysfunction, it usually includes psychotherapy, drug therapy, negative pressure suction device, cavernous injection therapy, transurethral administration, surgical treatment and the like.
Sexual psychological treatment is mainly the sex-focused training, which is suitable for the treatment of psychological erectile dysfunction, with an improvement rate of 20% to 81%. The most commonly used medications are 5α reductase inhibitors, such as sildenafil (viagra), which are the preferred oral drug for erectile dysfunction nowadays, and androgen therapy can be added to patients with hypogonadism.
Commonly, surgical treatment includes penile prosthesis, vascular remodeling, and venous ligation. Sexual psychological treatment and drug therapy are the most widely used in clinical practice. You should choose the right method according to your situation, and must not take medicine indiscriminately.
