Treatment Overview
Prostatitis, an inflammation of the prostate, can often lead to sexual dysfunction, including erectile difficulties, painful ejaculation, decreased libido, and overall reduced sexual performance. In Korea, specialized urology clinics offer consultations that address both prostatitis management and its impact on male sexual health. These consultations combine thorough diagnostic evaluation, targeted therapy, and lifestyle guidance to restore sexual function while managing prostate health.
Purpose & Benefits
The main objectives of consultation for prostatitis-related sexual dysfunction are:
- Evaluate urinary and sexual symptoms linked to prostatitis
- Identify underlying causes of sexual dysfunction, including chronic inflammation or nerve involvement
- Provide a personalized treatment plan combining medication, minimally invasive procedures, and lifestyle modifications
- Improve sexual performance, libido, and overall quality of life
- Prevent recurrence of prostatitis and related sexual complications
Benefits of seeking consultation in Korea include access to highly experienced urologists, advanced diagnostics, integrated treatment plans, and support services for international patients.
