A member asked:

Could 4 years of prostatitis have affected my sexual health?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: After 4 years of having prostatitis, it has now become chronic prostatitis. This is much more difficult to treat due to the chronicity of the problem. Due to pain, discomfort, pressure, etc., from the chroinic prostatitis, sexual health can definitely be affected.
