Prostatitis and potency are inextricably linked, because the prostate gland is an important organ of the male genitourinary system. When inflammation occurs, the functioning of the organ is disrupted, which affects erection, libido, and the reproductive ability of men.
For treatment and recovery, you need to completely get rid of the disease, as well as follow a diet, take preventive medications, lead an active lifestyle and adhere to other rules important for men's health.
How does the prostate affect potency?
The prostate in men affects the process of urination and sexual function. With pathologies, the gland enlarges and blocks the urethra, as a result of which urination becomes painful and the urge becomes more frequent. In addition, the blood supply to the organ is disrupted, which disrupts hormonal metabolism. Equally important is the production of prostatic secretion, which is part of sperm and is necessary for the proper functioning of sperm.
The prostate gland is responsible for:
- testosterone conversion;
- sperm composition and quality;
- sexual activity and erection.
An inflamed prostate gland negatively affects potency as this causes swelling of the organ and the formation of scars in place of the functional tissue. This leads to disruption of the nerve endings responsible for erection and ejaculation.
Changes in chronic prostatitis
Chronic prostatitis affects potency in the most negative way. During the acute stage, many symptoms are invisible and complications have not yet developed. In this case, the functioning of the male genitourinary system is already impaired, urination and sexual intercourse cause pain.
From the physiological side, erectile dysfunction in chronic prostatitis occurs as a result of deterioration of blood circulation and prostatic secretions (which may be the cause of the disease). Also, swelling of the prostate can cause decreased sensitivity of the penis and impaired ejaculation.
Psychology is another factor due to which potency disappears with prostatitis. After all, if a man is not confident in his male health and sexual intercourse causes pain, this leads to the formation of negative reflexes and complexes that complicate the restoration of sexual function after recovery.
Decreased libido with prostatitis occurs as a result of a disruption in the conversion of testosterone, which is responsible for desire and erection.
During the attenuation of the disease, there are no signs of sexual dysfunction, but exacerbation of chronic prostatitis affects potency with a sharp and noticeable deterioration. As a result of pain, a man tries to reduce the number of sexual intercourses. And their decrease leads to increased congestion in the prostate.
Possible consequences
With timely treatment of the disease, problems with potency due to prostatitis will be temporary. If the disease is neglected, complications may arise:
- prostatic hyperplasia;
- malignant tumor;
- infertility.
Prostatitis leads to impotence only when the chronic stage has been advanced for years, however, this does not mean that it is not worth treating and can be tolerated. The fact is that the earlier treatment is started, the higher the chance of complete recovery, while advanced diseases are extremely difficult to treat.
How to restore potency after treatment
Treatment of erectile dysfunction with prostatitis is accompanied by taking medications, following a diet and doing exercises.
If treatment was started on time, restoration of potency after treatment of prostatitis will not take much time. With an advanced disease, irreversible changes are possible.
In addition to the above remedies, to cure impotence with chronic prostatitis, you may need the help of a psychologist. There is no need to be ashamed of your problem; you need to visit a doctor and discuss the situation.
You can also restore an erection after prostatitis by taking herbal remedies and folk remedies.
