After the age of 55, almost all men have varying degrees of prostate hypertrophy. At the beginning of prostate hypertrophy, patients may experience increased libido that does not match their age, or they may have normal libido but suddenly become stronger. This is due to hyperplasia of prostate tissue, which leads to dysfunction of prostate function, and feedback leads to temporary enhancement of testicular function.
Sex can exacerbate prostate hypertrophy. Sex itself can cause the prostate to remain congested for a long time, causing and exacerbating prostate hypertrophy.
Absolute abstinence is also not conducive to the rehabilitation of prostate disease. A man with a normal personality development inevitably has frequent sexual impulses. Although semen cannot be excreted due to various reasons, there are still physiological changes in the reproductive system such as increased secretion of related glands, vasodilation, and congestion. The prostate is one of the related glands. Therefore, under such sexual impulses, the endocrine increase and homologous hyperemia produced by the prostate cannot be released, which may promote hyperplasia and hypertrophy of the prostate over time.
Elderly patients with prostate hypertrophy should pay attention to the following points based on factors such as age, degree of hyperplasia, and specific status when having sex:
1. The age is around 60 years old, the prostate hypertrophy is not serious, and other symptoms, physical conditions and sexual function are good, and can have sexual life, preferably once a month.
"If you are older, have severe prostate hyperplasia, have difficulty urinating, or have urinary retention after intercourse, and are difficult to control with medication, it is not advisable to have intercourse.".
During the treatment of prostate hypertrophy, elderly people should not engage in sexual intercourse to avoid inducing impotence.
