Many patients with prostatitis believe that there is no major problem, and as long as they delay, they will be fine on their own. Experts say that although prostatitis is a very common male urinary disease, it is very harmful, and if not treated promptly, it can cause serious harm to patients. So what harm can prostatitis do if it is not treated promptly? Let's let experts give you a detailed introduction.
What harm does prostatitis have if it is not treated in time? Experts say the dangers of untreated prostatitis include:
1. Impact function
If men allow the presence of prostatitis, the phenomenon of frequent and urgent urination will become increasingly serious, leading to increased psychological stress. The phenomenon of frequent urination and urgency in some people after sexual life can worsen, or directly affect the feeling and quality of sexual life, causing a malignant stimulus to patients, creating a sense of aversion to sexual life, leading to impotence, premature ejaculation, and other phenomena.
2. Cause infection in other parts
The prostate gland is close to the rectum, testis, epididymis and other male organs. Without timely treatment, inflammation will spread to these parts, which can lead to acute urinary retention, acute seminal vesiculitis or epididymitis, vasculitis, enlargement or tenderness of spermatic cord, etc. In serious cases, groin pain or renal colic may occur, even affecting male fertility.
3. Affecting the work and life of patients
Patients with prostatitis often experience systemic and local symptoms, such as burning sensation in the urethra, frequent urination, urgency, pain in urination, incomplete urination, difficulty urinating, and some urethra discharge white secretions. Due to the stimulation of inflammation, swelling and pain may occur in the lumbosacral, perineum, and testicles, causing patients to become restless and seriously affect work and life.
