Can I have sex with chronic prostatitis?

Prostatitis is a more common male disease and is very harmful to men's bodies. However, many men are afraid to seek treatment or even tell their partners when they learn that they have prostatitis. So, can you have sex if you have prostatitis?

Can I have sex if I have prostatitis?

In general, male patients with long-term prostatitis have different degrees of erectile dysfunction. This is because inflammation stimulates the body's cell tissues for a long time, leading to endocrine system nerve dysfunction and abnormalities in the autonomic nervous system. Male sexual function can be divided into three aspects: erectile function, male ejaculation function, and sexual desire. If there is a problem in any area, it will be unacceptable to male patients.

Men's sexual desire is also largely determined by their psychological state, which is why some patients with chronic prostatitis experience a more serious decrease in sexual desire. Most patients do not understand the disease, and incorrect diagnosis causes them to mistakenly believe that their illness is very serious, leading to negative emotions such as anxiety and depression, which directly affect men's sexual ability. Therefore, the sexual desire of prostatitis patients will decrease, affecting men's sexual function.

Authoritative experts remind: Prostatitis will affect the sex life of couples. Erectile function is actually related to the hematoma of the male genitals and has nothing to do with the male prostate itself. Therefore, prostatitis and erectile function do not have much impact. Male ejaculation does not simply refer to a stage in the reproductive process. The inflammation caused by prostatitis can affect the male ejaculation function and then cause male ejaculation function problems, which will in turn affect the male sexual function.
