Chronic prostatitis is a common urinary disease in men, which is characterized by chronic inflammation of the prostate tissue and the reversal of symptoms. What many men don't know is that in addition to urinary frequency, urgency, and painful urination, chronic prostatitis can also lead to sexual dysfunction and affect family harmony. So, why chronic prostatitis causes sexual dysfunction, let's learn Xi together.

The location of the prostate gland in the human body.

First of all, the inflammatory response of chronic prostatitis can lead to congestion, edema, and increased pressure in the prostate tissue, which can affect the nerves and blood vessels associated with sexual function, thus affecting the process of erection and **. Studies have shown that the prostatic fluid of patients with prostate disease contains a high concentration of inflammatory mediators, which can have an inhibitory effect on erection and **, which in turn leads to erectile dysfunction and **difficulty.

Secondly, the symptoms of chronic prostatitis, such as pain, discomfort and frequent urination, can cause a lot of stress and anxiety to patients, which in turn can lead to decreased libido and psychosexual disorders. Anxiety and stress can affect the brain's response to sexual stimuli, inhibiting the process of erection and **. In addition, long-term pain and discomfort can also affect the quality of sexual life, making sexual dysfunction more obvious.

Three major symptoms of prostatitis.

In addition, chronic prostatitis can also affect the secretion and metabolism of sex hormones. The prostate gland is an important gonad in the male body, and it is involved in the synthesis and metabolism of **hormone. The inflammatory response caused by chronic prostatitis can interfere with the metabolism of the prostate gland, resulting in a decrease in the level of **hormone. **Hormone is the main component of male sex hormones and is very important for the maintenance and regulation of sexual function.

Finally, chronic prostatitis may be associated with other sexual dysfunction disorders. For example, some studies have found that people with chronic prostatitis are more likely to have problems such as erectile dysfunction and**. This is because chronic prostatitis and diseases such as erectile dysfunction and ** have similar pathophysiological mechanisms, such as inflammatory responses, neuromodulation imbalances, etc.

Men have more than enough heart but not enough power.

In summary, the occurrence of sexual dysfunction caused by chronic prostatitis is related to a variety of factors, including inflammatory response, neuromodulation imbalance, psychosexual disorders, and abnormal metabolism of sex hormones. For patients with chronic prostatitis, TCM** can effectively improve the symptoms of sexual dysfunction, eliminate symptoms such as frequent urination, incomplete urination, and lower abdominal pain, and improve the quality of life of patients.
