Acute prostatitis is a relatively common male disease that may produce acute urinary retention, epididymitis, sexual dysfunction and other hazards. 1. Acute urinary retention: When inflammation of the prostate gland occurs, it can cause congestion and swelling of the prostate gland, which presses on the urethra, leading to difficulty in urination and may cause acute urinary retention. 2. Epididymitis: Bacteria can enter the vas deferens wall and sheath reversibly through the lymphatic vessels, leading to epididymitis. Meanwhile, acute prostatitis can easily spread to the seminal vesicles, causing acute seminal vesiculitis. 3. Sexual dysfunction: the prostate gland will become congested and edematous when inflammation occurs, which may cause ejaculatory pain, hematochezia, and affect libido, resulting in sexual dysfunction. When acute prostatitis occurs, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time, follow the doctor’s instructions for further examination, and actively cooperate with the doctor’s treatment.
