Prostatitis Risks
Important for Both
Men and Women?

2. The prostate is a vital component of the male
reproductive system, and it's essential for both men
and their partners to comprehend the potential
consequences of chronic prostatitis. This
inflammatory condition can lead to a range of
complications, from localized discomfort to more
serious issues such as tumors and uremia.

3. So, what are the significant
risks associated with chronic
prostatitis? It's imperative for
both men and women to
recognize these implications
early on.

4. 1. Diminished Quality of Life
In response to inflammation in the prostate region,
various discomforting symptoms may arise due to
inflammatory triggers. These symptoms can include
swelling and pain in areas like the lumbar sacrum,
perineum, and testicles, as well as noticeable
problems such as frequent or incomplete urination.
This array of symptoms can easily lead to emotional
distress in patients, impacting their ability to function
normally in daily life and work.

5. 2. Sexual Dysfunction
Untreated prostatitis can worsen symptoms after
marriage, directly affecting the quality of marital life.
This can induce stress reactions, potentially causing
difficulties in sexual performance such as impotence
and premature ejaculation.

6. Long-term effects of prostatitis can alter the
composition of prostate fluid significantly. This
can diminish the prostate's normal secretion
function, affect semen liquefaction time, reduce
sperm vitality, and potentially contribute to
male infertility.

7. 4. Renal Complications
Untreated prostatitis in males can lead to prostatic
hyperplasia, which may compress the bladder outlet,
hindering complete urine discharge and resulting in
residual urine. This residual urine creates an
environment conducive to bacterial growth,
increasing the risk of urinary tract infections. If left
untreated, this can progress to conditions like
pyelonephritis and hydronephrosis, eventually leading
to nephritis and potentially inducing uremia.

8. 5. Endocrine Disruption
The prostate typically secretes various active
compounds, but prostatitis can trigger endocrine
imbalances and related conditions, leading to
neurasthenia, mental disorders, and other abnormal
reactions. These manifestations often include physical
fatigue, cognitive impairment, and other symptoms.

9. 5. Endocrine Disruption
The prostate typically secretes various active
compounds, but prostatitis can trigger endocrine
imbalances and related conditions, leading to
neurasthenia, mental disorders, and other abnormal
reactions. These manifestations often include physical
fatigue, cognitive impairment, and other symptoms.

10. 5. Endocrine Disruption
The prostate typically secretes various active
compounds, but prostatitis can trigger endocrine
imbalances and related conditions, leading to
neurasthenia, mental disorders, and other abnormal
reactions. These manifestations often include physical
fatigue, cognitive impairment, and other symptoms.

11. 6. Transmission to Partners
During sexual intercourse, pathogenic
microorganisms present in prostatic fluid can be
transmitted to female partners through semen,
causing gynecological inflammation. Bacteriological
examinations often reveal various bacteria, fungi,
mycoplasma, chlamydia, and even trichomonas in the
prostate fluid of affected individuals. These
pathogens can induce cervical inflammation, vaginitis,
and in severe cases, pelvic inflammatory disease.

12. 7. Increased Risk of Tumors
Prostatitis affects approximately 50% of men and may
increase the likelihood of tumor formation. While
prostate fluid normally contains anticancer
substances that inhibit tumor growth, individuals with
prostatitis may have reduced concentrations of these
substances, thereby increasing the risk of tumor
development.

13. Treatment Options for Chronic Prostatitis
Early clinical assessment is crucial for
determining the appropriate treatment
approach, which may include:

14. Medication
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can alleviate
symptoms, while traditional Chinese medicine like
the Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill offers
additional benefits in enhancing immunity and
preventing recurrence.

15. Surgical Intervention
Surgery may be necessary for chronic bacterial prostatitis that
recurs frequently. Procedures like prostatectomy or transurethral
resection of the prostate (TURP) can be considered, with the
latter being particularly beneficial for addressing prostate duct
infections.

16. Prostate Massage and Thermotherapy
These traditional methods can promote drainage,
increase medication effectiveness, and provide
relief from symptoms.

17. Physical Therapy
Various physical modalities such as microwave and hot sitz baths
can help relax the prostate and pelvic floor muscles, reducing
pain and enhancing antibacterial efficacy.
