In fact, the prostate plays a very important role in men's sexual function. After prostatectomy, it will affect sexual life, which may lead to premature ejaculation or retrograde ejaculation, as well as erectile dysfunction. Therefore, whether to remove the prostate should also consider the patient's age and requirements for sexual life.
1. For example, prostatectomy is not recommended for some young and middle-aged men, because some men at this age still have fertility needs and strong sexual needs, which is also an important point for the couple's relationship. However, men around 60 years old can consider prostatectomy, but they should also understand the surgery before the operation.
2. Moreover, not all prostate diseases require prostatectomy. Some conditions can be treated with drugs. The main thing is to go to the hospital for prostate examination when such problems occur, so as to understand what kind of treatment is suitable and minimize the harm as much as possible.
3. The treatment of prostate is not blindly required to be surgically removed. In many cases, drug treatment can control the treatment, which can choose drug treatment, which is also an effective way to reduce harm. Therefore, for the treatment and control of some diseases, it is recommended to go to the hospital and seek treatment under the guidance of doctors.
