What are the Complications of Chronic Prostatitis?

Some people have acute prostatitis, and some people have chronic prostatitis. The latter is more severe than the former. No matter which type of prostatitis men is suffering from, it needs to be treated as soon as possible, especially for chronic prostatitis.
 
Acute prostatitis is generally treated with antibiotics because it takes effect quickly. Chronic prostatitis can be treated with medication, which will not produce resistance like antibiotics. For example, the herbal medicine Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill has the effects of clearing away heat, detoxifying, diuresis, and dredging leaching, and can effectively reduce inflammation and sterilize and treat chronic prostatitis.
 
Here is an introduction to the complications of chronic prostatitis.
 
1. Impotence and premature ejaculation:
 
It is the most common complication of chronic prostatitis, and it is also a more direct manifestation of the general symptoms. The primary indication is decreased sexual function, such as short intercourse or premature ejaculation, which may be related to the inflammatory stimulation of the prostate. The relationship between impotence and prostatitis is not specific. Chronic prostatitis does not directly damage the nerve-vascular function of penile erection. Long-term discomfort creates psychological pressure on patients, causing them to be inhibited and worried, especially those who do not understand the disease often think there is a problem with their sexual function. Over time, mental impotence may occur.
 
2. Infertility:
 
There are many reasons for male infertility, and one of the most important reasons is chronic prostatitis in men. When inflammation occurs, prostate secretions are reduced, thereby reducing the amount of semen. As a result, the vitality and quality of sperm are disturbed. 
 
In addition, the enzyme activity in the prostatic fluid has a downward trend, which leads to increased semen density and longer liquefaction time. Inflammation is also the killer of sperm because the pH will decrease, and the body will produce anti-sperm antibodies. 
 
Many bacteria and bacterial toxins will consume the nutrients of seminal plasma, thereby affecting the probability of survival.
 
3. Chronic seminal vesiculitis:
 
In chronic diseases, the two are generally interdependent and affect each other. It is also the most common complication in the general symptoms of chronic prostatitis, and it will lead to male sexual dysfunction over time. The seminal vesicles and the prostate ducts are connected. If the inflammation spreads, it will affect each other. If the inflammation spreads, it will lead to male sexual dysfunction, blood sperm, painful ejaculation, and other symptoms.
 
4. Cystitis:
 
When the inflammation of chronic prostatitis spreads to the bladder, causing cystitis, it can cause urinary tract irritation—for example, symptoms such as urgency, frequent urination, painful urination, and incomplete urination.
 
5. Urethritis:
 
It is the first symptom in the general symptoms of chronic prostatitis, often caused by urinary infection.
 
6. Epididymitis:
 
The inflammation of chronic prostatitis in men invades the epididymis, which will lead to the occurrence of epididymitis. After men suffer from epididymitis, the epididymis will be swollen, painful, and feel falling. These symptoms will be more evident after sex. Thereby it affects the quality of sex life.
 
7. Bladder neck sclerosis:
 
Such symptoms are generally relatively rare, but they are also a type of complication of chronic prostatitis.
 
The above introduced the complications of chronic prostatitis, and the harm these complications cause to patients should not be underestimated. Although the disease has many complications, as long as patients with chronic prostatitis actively treat and control the development of the disease, these complications can be avoided.
