Core Tip: Prostate atrophy can lead to frequent urination, nocturnal urination, impotence and premature ejaculation, loss of libido, abnormal erection and many other urological and reproductive disorders, in addition to insomnia, memory loss, nerve symptoms such as abdominal cramps and general discomfort. The actual prostate atrophy is generally related to prostate infection and inflammation, and patients should receive timely treatment to avoid the impact on their sexuality, fertility and urinary health.
The standard size of the prostate in normal adult men is 403020mm, less than this size, it is considered that there is prostate atrophy. The prostate atrophy will affect the patient’s sexual function, leading to premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction, and its specific hazards are as follows.
One, affect fertility. The prostate gland is a necessary route for sperm to pass through. When a patient with prostatitis ejaculates, sperm passes through the infected prostate and bacteria can mix with the semen and affect sperm quality. A shrunken prostate may lead to reduced sperm or sperm malformation, causing infertility and affecting male fertility. And unclean sex also increases the risk of infection to sexual partners, affecting the harmony of private life and physical health.
Second, affect sexual function. Chronic prostatitis can cause impotence and premature ejaculation. If the prostate atrophy is not effectively treated for a long time, various uncomfortable symptoms may occur after sexual intercourse, and even produce bad mood, which will directly affect the feeling and quality of sexual life, causing a vicious physiological stimulus to the patient, gradually appearing negative psychological factors such as aversion, which may eventually lead to impotence, premature ejaculation, affecting sexual function.
Third, affect the urinary function. Atrophy of the prostate gland can affect the urinary function of men. Prostatitis can cause patients to urinate abnormally. Inflammation and atrophy of the prostate gland can cause continuous inflammatory stimulation of the bladder and urinary reflex nerves, leading to increased excitability of the urinary reflex, which may lead to urinary abnormalities such as urinary frequency and urgency in patients. Prostate atrophy may also affect other urinary and genital organs, and if inflammation occurs, may lead to symptoms such as urinary urgency and painful urination.
Prostate atrophy can affect male function, leading to premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction, and the effects are not only physical, but the patient’s own psychological stress and feelings of inferiority about sexual ability also exacerbate the symptoms of premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction.
