Chronic prostatitis is common among young and middle-aged men, yet many hold misconceptions about its severity and treatment. While it can cause discomfort and has some connection to sexual function, it does not directly lead to sexual dysfunction or infertility; rather, psychological factors often contribute more to libido issues. Effective management includes targeted treatments and addressing mental health, with a focus on improving quality of life.

2. Research shows that the incidence rate of
prostate diseases in male subjects is very high
among young and middle-aged men, accounting
for 35% to 45%.
Prostate diseases attack over 52% of men's
lives at a particular stage of life. Chronic
prostatitis patients can account for more than
half of the outpatients.

3. At present, andrology has become the third significant
male health "killer" after tumor and cardiovascular and
cerebrovascular diseases, one of the common
andrology diseases. However, there are many biases
in people's understanding of Andrology itself and
treatment.

as common as a cold}

5. Due to the lack of medical knowledge and blind
obedience to the advertisements, many people
have a wrong understanding of the disease and
think it is a complicated and severe disease.
In the outpatient department, patients have
apparent mental pressure when they first come
to see a doctor. They are nervous, anxious, and
suspicious when they feel uncomfortable.

6. The incidence rate of chronic prostatitis is
very high. Like a cold, male friends of all ages
may encounter. As long as you receive
regular treatment and follow the doctor's
advice, you can completely recover.
According to each person's different situation,
choose other treatment methods.

7. When there are some symptoms affecting life and work,
such as frequent urination, urination pain, and urination
pain, patients need active treatment.
For chronic prostatitis, the main goal of treatment is to
relieve pain, improve urination symptoms, and improve
life quality.

8. If it is clear that pathogenic bacteria cause
prostatitis, take effective antibiotic treatment.
If it is nonbacterial prostatitis or repeated
symptoms after antibiotic treatment, choose
herbal medicine treatment, such as
Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill.

Simultaneously, if accompanied by
sexual dysfunction, men also need
to cooperate with psychological
and behavioral counseling, life and
eating habits change, and other
comprehensive treatment.

10. For patients whose symptoms are not particularly serious
and have little impact on their quality of life, it is
unnecessary to use particular medication and pay attention
to their life and work habits.

11. {Chronic prostatitis is not
equal to sexual dysfunction}

12. Although pathologically, pelvic muscle
lesions caused by chronic prostatitis may
affect the sexual function and life in a
certain stage, it has no direct relationship
with the "sexual dysfunction" or even
"infertility" advertised in some irresponsible
advertisements. So patients and their
families do not have to bear the heavy
psychological burdens.

13. During the treatment period, the doctor may suggest that the
patient reduce the number of sexual life appropriately because
excessive sexual life can cause prostatic congestion, aggravate
chronic prostatitis, which is not conducive to rehabilitation.
Some patients are very pessimistic, think that the disease must
be abstinent, and even worry that the disease will lead to
marriage problems and the relationship between husband and
wife. Regular sex life and normal mental state are conducive to
the treatment of chronic prostatitis.

14. {Can chronic prostatitis
cause sexual dysfunction
and affect fertility?}

15. Generally speaking, chronic prostatitis will not
directly affect sexual function. Theoretically
speaking, chronic prostatitis does not directly
damage the neurovascular function of penile
erection and will not cause impotence.

16. But because of the long-term lumbosacral and perineal
discomfort, patients often have psychological pressure,
resulting in depression and worry, especially for those who do
not know little about the disease and often worry about their
sexual function problems.
Over time the mental factors can reduce the patient's libido,
and functional dysfunction appear.

17. Some young patients worry that chronic
prostatitis may lead to infertility.
About one-third of prostatic fluid comes
from semen, which affects the quantity
and composition of semen, and may
interfere with the survival and activity of
sperm.

18. But clinical data show that most patients
with chronic prostatitis have normal fertility.
It is worth noting that the mental burden
caused by patients' attention to the disease
and anxiety often affects the quality of sexual
life more than the disease itself.
