1. Symptoms are painful

Due to the stimulation of inflammation, a series of symptoms are produced, such as swelling and pain in the lumbosacral, perineal, testicular and other parts of the body, unclean urination, frequent nocturia, etc., which make patients irritable and affect their work and life.

2. Impact on sexual function

Because the disease has not been cured for a long time, various symptoms and discomforts aggravate after sexual intercourse, or directly affect the experience and quality of sexual intercourse, causing a vicious stimulation to the patient, gradually developing a sense of disgust, leading to impotence, premature ejaculation and other phenomena.

3. Cause infertility

Long-term chronic inflammation changes the composition of prostate fluid and affects the secretion function of the prostate, which in turn affects the liquefaction time of semen and decreases sperm motility, which can lead to male infertility.
4. Lead to chronic nephritis and even develop into uremia. If prostatitis is not treated in time, it can lead to prostate hyperplasia, which can compress the bladder outlet and prevent complete emptying of urine, resulting in residual urine.
5. Cause endocrine disorders and mental abnormalities. Under normal circumstances, the prostate can secrete a variety of active substances. Inflammation of the prostate and endocrine disorders can cause neurasthenia and mental abnormalities; symptoms such as insomnia, fatigue, dizziness, slow thinking, and memory loss can also occur.

6. Infecting your spouse causes gynecological inflammation. Prostatitis can be transmitted to your wife, especially prostatitis caused by some special bacterial infections. The inflammation can be transmitted to your wife through sexual intercourse.

7. Easily cause infection. The human prostate contains an antibacterial substance called prostate antibacterial factor. When the prostate is inflamed, this antibacterial factor is reduced, making it easier to cause infection.

8. Susceptible to tumors.
