If prostatitis is not treated promptly, it can lead to prostate hyperplasia, which will compress the bladder outlet, preventing urine from being completely emptied and resulting in residual urine. Residual urine is a good culture medium for bacterial reproduction. In addition, the defense mechanism of the bladder mucosa is damaged, so it is very easy to cause urinary tract infections such as pyelonephritis. If the treatment is not thorough, it will develop from pyelonephritis, hydronephrosis, etc., and then develop into nephritis, and finally develop into uremia.

Prostatitis can be transmitted to the wife, especially prostatitis caused by some special bacteria, the inflammation of which can be transmitted to the wife through sexual intercourse. Such as fungal prostatitis, Trichomonas prostatitis, gonorrhea prostatitis, non-gonococcal (chlamydia, mycoplasma) prostatitis, etc.

When the prostate is inflamed, this antibacterial factor decreases, making it more likely to cause infection. The infection caused by prostatitis can lead to acute urinary retention, acute seminal vesiculitis or epididymitis, vas deferens, enlarged or tender spermatic lymph nodes, etc. In severe cases, groin pain or renal colic may occur.
