1. prostatitis is highly infectious
Prostatitis is caused by inflammation of the prostate gland by a variety of bacteria, mycoplasma, or chlamydia. These bacteria and pathogen are highly contagious. Therefore, prostatitis itself is also highly infectious.
The bacteria and pathogen could be easily passed on to the wife via sex from the sick husband, thereby causing some female urinary and reproductive system disease. If the couples don't take treatment simultaneously, the condition will very possibly cause cross infection between the couples, and that is why prostatitis is prone to recurring.
2. Prostatitis affects sexual function
Prostatitis can very possibly cause impotence and premature ejaculation. If the long-term prostatitis is not cured, various kinds of symptoms and discomfort will be aggravated after sexual intercourse, or the feel for sex and the quality of sex life will be directly affected. And this will create a malignant stimulate to the patients and they will gradually dislike sex, which will cause impotence, premature ejaculation and so on.
3. Causing agony for patients
Once a man is attacked by prostatitis, his work and life will be negatively affected by the disease. A series of symptoms, such as swelling pain in lumbar, perineum, testicles and other parts, a feeling of not emptying your bladder completely, urinary frequency and urgency often at night and so on will turn up due to the inflammatory stimulation, which will make the patients rather restless. And their work and life will be definitely affected.
4. Causing Fertility problem
Prostatitiscan lead to male infertility. Long-term chronic inflammation can change the components of prostatic fluid and affect the secretory function of the prostate gland, thereby affecting liquefaction time of the semen, and motility of the sperms will be decreased. All these can cause male infertility.
5. Causing Chronic nephritis
Prostatitis can develop into uremia. If prostatitis is not treated in good season, it will lead to prostatic hyperplasia. And the diseased prostate will constrict the opening of the bladder to make the urine can't be completely emptied. The residual urine provides a good culture medium for bacterial reproduction. What's more, the defense mechanism of bladder mucosa has been damaged; therefore, these conditions can easily cause urinary tract infections, such as Pyelonephritis. If this condition isn't completely treated, Pyelonephritis and Uronephrosis can possibly develop into Nephritis, and Uremia is the final development and worst case.
6. Causing Endocrine disorders
Prostatitis may cause mental disorders. Under normal circumstances, the prostate gland secretes a variety of active substances. Once the prostate is attacked by inflammation, its endocrine will become abnormal, which may lead to nervous breakdown, thereby causing psychosis. What's more, the inflammation of the prostate may cause the symptoms such as insomnia and dreamful sleep, fatigue, dizziness, Thought slowness, Memory Loss and so on.
7. Causing Gynecological inflammation
Prostatitis, especially some forms of prostatitis which are caused by peculiar bacteria, can be transmitted from the husband to his wife. The inflammation can be transmitted to his wife via sexual intercourse. These contagious forms of prostatitis include fungal prostatitis, trichomonas prostatitis, gonorrheal prostatitis, non-gonococcal (Chlamydia, mycoplasma) prostatitis.
