What is the difference between prostatitis and premature ejaculation? Can prostatitis cause premature ejaculation

Prostatitis and premature ejaculation seem to be two unrelated diseases, but they are inextricably linked. First of all, let's know what is prostatitis? What is premature ejaculation? Secondly, what is the relationship between them.

What is prostatitis?

Prostatitis refers to inflammation of prostate tissue. It refers to acute and chronic inflammation caused by prostate-specific and non-specific infection, causing systemic or local symptoms. Because the prostate is formed under the action of a certain level of blood testosterone, women only find traces of prostate in the sense of histology and embryology; There is no prostate in the sense of human anatomy. Prostatitis is a male disease. The incidence may also be related to season, diet, sexual activity, urogenital tract inflammation, benign prostatic hyperplasia or lower urinary tract syndrome, occupation, socio-economic status and psychosocial factors.

What is premature ejaculation?

Premature ejaculation refers to the disorder of sexual intercourse that occurs before the penis enters the vagina, or the time to enter the vagina is short, women do not reach orgasm, and ejaculation occurs early. The diagnostic standard of premature ejaculation is whether women are satisfied.

What is the relationship between prostatitis and premature ejaculation

Because long-term chronic inflammatory stimulation may cause nervous excitation of sensory and sympathetic nerves, and sensory nerve excitation leads to increased sensitivity, and sexual stimulation is transmitted to the brain center faster, thus reaching the ejaculation threshold faster and causing premature ejaculation; The excitation of sympathetic nerve can lead to increased peristalsis and contraction of tissues and organs involved in ejaculation, such as vas deferens, seminal vesicles, ejaculatory ducts, urethral cavernous muscles, bulbocavernous muscles, etc., resulting in rapid ejaculation. In clinical practice, many patients with premature ejaculation often describe pain stimulation or urination discomfort in lumbosacral region, lower abdomen, perineum, penis, testicle and other parts in addition to short time. It can be seen that premature ejaculation with prostatitis is a very common phenomenon.

Of course, there are also many patients with premature ejaculation who do not have the typical symptoms of chronic prostatitis, but we cannot ignore the good partner of prostatitis. Because there is a special type of prostatitis called asymptomatic prostatitis, that is to say, there is no obvious discomfort, but the white blood cells in the prostate fluid or semen are increased. Many patients with premature ejaculation are found to belong to this type of prostatitis after examination, or the symptoms of asymptomatic prostatitis patients with rapid ejaculation.
