Can you have sex while suffering from prostatitis?
This needs to be divided into two situations.
1. Sterile prostatitis: In this case, patients can usually have sex. This is because when men ejaculate, the purulent cells in the prostate can be taken out of the body, thus alleviating the symptoms of prostatitis. However, we must control the number of times we have sex. It is better not to have sex more than twice a week. In addition, you must wear a condom during sex.
2. Bacterial prostatitis: This inflammatory infection can also be divided into common pathogen infection and non-specific pathogen infection. In the case of common pathogen infection, sexual life can be carried out, but it is better to have sex only once a week, and it is under the condition of wearing a condom to ensure safety. In addition, if the patient has penile pain, he should immediately stop sexual life. If it is caused by non-specific pathogens, it is better not to have sex.
In addition, many prostate patients still have such a misconception: prostatitis can be cross-infected between husband and wife. In fact, this kind of inflammation will not be transmitted between husband and wife. The prostate is physiologically involved in semen formation and has nothing to do with sexual function, renal function and sexually transmitted diseases.
It can be seen that the "abstinence" of patients with prostatitis is inappropriate and should be left to nature. Prostatitis patients can maintain a moderate sexual life according to their age and physical conditions. They should neither be too frequent nor completely "abstinent". Generally, it is appropriate to keep it for about 7-10 days, so as to maintain normal metabolism of the prostate and accelerate the regression of inflammation.
