A member asked:
If i have chronic prostatitis am i at risk of loosing my bladder, or the desire to have sex anymore?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: And no. While the prostate gland is very close to the bladder, inflammation does not threaten the bladder, or have any persisting effect on libido.

No: There are lots of therapies for prostatitis. You won't lose your bladder or sex drive with either the condition or the treatment.
