When inflammation occurs in the prostate, there are many pathogens and inflammatory cells in the prostate fluid. If sexual activity is not carried out, the prostate fluid accumulates in the acini and cannot be expelled. Pathogens continue to multiply. Although effective medication is taken, satisfactory results are often not achieved. The symptoms of chronic prostatitis can also be exacerbated by erections of the penis and congestion of the prostate caused by sexual impulses.
During sexual life, ejaculation can contract the smooth muscle of the prostate and promote the discharge of prostate fluid into the urethra, which can play a better drainage role than prostate massage.
A small number of patients have no sexual life for a long time, and over time, they become indifferent to sexual interests, even experiencing sexual apathy and various sexual dysfunction.
Experts say: People often believe that the prostate gland is "sick" and requires rest, and the idea of stopping sexual activity before it is cured is wrong. "If significantly reducing or abstaining from sexual activity is not beneficial for patients with chronic prostatitis, patients should appropriately arrange their sexual activity based on their age, condition, treatment, and physical health, neither too frequently, nor abstinence.". Regular sexual life not only does not harm the prostate, but also can maintain the normal metabolism of the prostate, helping to clear harmful substances in the prostate and accelerate local blood circulation, conducive to the recovery of prostate function and accelerate the regression of inflammation. It is also an important measure to close the relationship between husband and wife and avoid sexual apathy. For patients with sexual dysfunction, in addition to actively treating inflammation, some drugs can also be appropriately applied to improve sexual function. In fact, the prostate itself is a secretory organ, constantly producing prostate fluid, which also requires regular discharge. This is the true secret of maintaining the prostate.
