Why Does Prostatitis Cause Spermatorrhea?

Spermatorrhea refers to the involuntary outflow of semen without sexual activity. The reason why prostatitis can cause ejaculation may be due to psychological factors, inflammatory stimuli, physical factors, changes in hormone levels, and other reasons.

1. Psychological factors: Male patients with prostatitis often experience abnormal psychological states such as anxiety, tension, and depression due to the discomfort symptoms of the disease. These negative psychological factors can cause the cerebral cortex to remain relatively excited during sleep, leading to the phenomenon of ejaculation;

2. Inflammatory stimulation: There is an opening in the ejaculatory duct in the prostate, which is the primary channel for semen to enter the prostate during ejaculation. When there is inflammation in the prostate gland, there is inflammatory secretion in the prostate gland, which in turn stimulates the seminal vesicles, leading to excessive contraction of the seminal vesicles and causing symptoms of ejaculation;

3. Physical factors: Under normal circumstances, the penis is erected during the day and will squeeze prostatic fluid out of the urethra. When sleeping, the penis is in a relatively relaxed state without sexual stimulation, resulting in ejaculation. If you wear tight underwear while sleeping, causing the penis to sink into the intimate clothing completely, it can also cause ejaculation;

4. Hormonal changes: The production of male semen is regulated by the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis and influenced by the testes' secretion function. When the male hormones secreted by the testes stimulate the seminal vesicles and walls, it can also cause excessive contraction of the seminal vesicles and walls, leading to symptoms of ejaculation.

There is a strong correlation between prostatitis and spermatorrhea. For spermatorrhea caused by prostatitis, patients need to seek medical attention at the hospital, undergo routine prostate fluid tests, determine whether it is bacterial or nonbacterial, and then choose targeted medication for treatment.

The traditional Chinese medicine Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill is a good choice for drug selection. After timely control of the symptoms of prostatitis, the patient's phenomenon of ejaculation will improve. Meanwhile, it is recommended that men pay attention to personal hygiene and maintain a clean perineum in their daily lives. At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen physical exercise, enhance the body's resistance, avoid staying up late or sitting for a long time, and arrange sexual activities reasonably.

Prostatitis not only causes spermatorrhea but may also affect male sexual function, leading to impotence and premature ejaculation, so it is still important to pay attention to it.

In addition to prostatitis, spermatorrhea is also related to some habits in daily life.

1. Life factors

In daily life, it causes congestion of the sexual organs, stimulation of penile erection, and frequent ejaculation. For example, wearing tight clothing, taking a long hot bath before bedtime, soaking feet in hot water for too long, keeping the lid too warm or heavy during sleep, playing with organs before bedtime, using an electric blanket or heater during sleep, drinking alcohol or eating stimulating food before bedtime, and engaging in vigorous exercise before bedtime.

2. Vigorous exercise

Exercise accelerates blood circulation and enhances the function of various organs in the body, including the reproductive organs. After exercise, there is an increase in bleeding from the testes, prostate, seminal vesicles, and other organs. The amount of sperm produced by the testes and prostate fluid produced by the prostate gland can increase, leading to increased semen production and inevitable ejaculation.

Issues to pay attention to when diagnosing enuresis

1. Adult unmarried men, or those who have separated from their spouses after marriage, who ejaculate 1-2 times within a month and have no discomfort or other symptoms the next day, are considered to have physiological spermatorrhea and are not pathological.

2. When men have sexual impulses, they involuntarily discharge some transparent viscous fluid from the urethra, not spermatorrhea, but fluid secreted by the bulbar or paraurethral glands.

3. The urethral opening often overflows with rice-like or paste-like turbid matter, dripping continuously, causing itching and pain in the urethra, as painful as cutting and burning with a knife. This may be caused by gonococcal or nongonococcal urethritis, and urethral secretions can be smeared and cultured for identification.
