Can I have sex if I have prostatitis?

Prostatitis is a common male disease that men suffer from. It can be divided into two types: acute and chronic. The prostate is an important organ in men. When inflammation occurs in this part, in addition to causing harm to the patient, many patients worry that it will affect their normal sex life. So, can men with prostatitis have sex? Let's take a look.

You can have sex if you have prostatitis. Regular sexual intercourse is recommended for the treatment of prostatitis, which can effectively discharge prostatic fluid and a large amount of inflammatory secretions in the prostate, effectively relieve symptoms, effectively relieve prostatic congestion, and prevent prostatitis from worsening. However, if prostatitis is very serious, it is recommended that patients should wear condoms during sexual intercourse to effectively prevent female infection. At the same time, patients with prostatitis should not have sex too frequently, but should have regular sexual intercourse and ejaculate about once a week, which is very helpful for the recovery of prostatitis.

How to Treat Prostatitis

1. General treatment

Relieving mental anxiety and worries, arranging a healthy diet and lifestyle, participating in appropriate physical exercise, hot water baths and regular prostate massage are all effective in treating the disease.

2. Antibiotic therapy

In order to select drugs that are fat-soluble and can enter the prostate tissue, reasonable antibiotics are selected for pathogen treatment based mainly on bacterial culture and drug sensitivity tests.

3. Physical therapy

It is a therapeutic measure to regulate the internal factors of the human body and restore the normal physiological state. It mainly uses various physical factors such as sound, electricity, and water to act on the human body's tissues, organs, and pathogens. It causes congestion in the deep tissues, thereby improving blood circulation, accelerating the absorption and removal of inflammatory secretions, and promoting recovery from the disease.

4. Injection therapy

The main advantage of this common prostatitis treatment method is that the drug is injected directly into the gland, diffused and reaches an effective antibacterial concentration, thereby killing bacteria in the lesion and bacteria in the surrounding tissues, etc., so that some drugs can be absorbed into the blood, and at the same time, infections in the urethra and other parts can be eliminated.

5. Surgical treatment

Some patients require surgery, which is also one of the common treatments for prostatitis. If acute inflammation has formed a prostate abscess, it can be drained through the rectum or episiotomy. If the abscess is limited to the gland, a urethroscope can be used to puncture the prostate, followed by an injection of antibacterial drugs.
