I have been diagnosed with chronic prostatitis. Recently, I have noticed that my performance during sex is getting worse, is this related to prostatitis In my daily work, I am often asked this question by patients. In fact, chronic prostatitis does not have a direct adverse effect on the various systems involved in sex, and therefore does not have a direct detrimental effect on sexual function. The prostate is an accessory gland. It is a good idea to take into account the fact that it is involved in the formation of semen, such as prostatic fluid accounts for 30% of the entire semen, and is not related to sexual function, kidney function, etc. But clinically, it is true that some patients with chronic prostatitis have sexual function problems such as erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation. The current medical belief is that this is mostly caused by the patient’s own psychological disorder. For example, some patients in the early stages of the disease, because of prostatitis involving the seminiferous, thus appearing painful ejaculation, lower abdominal perineal pain discomfort, it is worried that sexual life will be affected, or fear will be the pathogens infected to the wife, thus resisting sex, over time will appear to have a reduced libido. Sexual desire is affected, which will aggravate mental tension and depression, leading to sexual dysfunction in men. I personally think the above explanation emphasizes more on psychological factors, in fact there is a relationship between prostatitis and sexual function impairment, but this relationship is not causal, but fruitful —- prostatitis is not the culprit of sexual function impairment, its own is also a victim, they are both victims, in the causal relationship, both are fruit. If both are fruit, then what is the cause? There are many causes of prostatitis, but the root cause is related to blood circulation disorders, poor blood circulation, which can cause damage to the prostate tissue and prostatitis; blood circulation disorders will not only affect the prostate, but also the testicles, whose function is closely related to sexual function, so if we are looking for the culprit, the perineal blood circulation disorders should bear the brunt. The real cause of sexual dysfunction is not prostatitis, but blood circulation disorders in the perineal area.
