Prostatitis and Sex

close contact with prostatitis

The prostate is very important to the human body because it synthesizes the substances that are part of sperm. The inflammatory process in the prostate is called prostatitis. The disorder affects the erection and urination process, which in turn affects a person's emotional state. In advanced cases, prostatitis becomes a prostate adenoma, and the disease is often accompanied by vasculitis or urethritis.

The occurrence of acute or chronic prostatitis affects a person's entire body, starting with the organs of the genitourinary system. At the same time, sexual life is also affected, because in the context of prostatic inflammatory processes, erectile dysfunction and potency problems can be observed.

The condition significantly reduces a man's quality of life and requires an appointment for treatment. At the same time, many patients will ask themselves whether it is possible to have sex during the treatment of prostatitis, and will this lead to the development of the disease?

Can prostatitis have sex

Now that young people get prostatitis, not just pensioners, and they're full of energy and energy, of course they're interested in whether it's okay to have sex with prostatitis. Experts' opinions on this issue can be divided into two categories: some support prolonged sexual abstinence, while others should not stop active sex life. In fact, prostatitis is not the cause of impotence, but the pain after orgasm forcing men to give up sensuality.

Of course, with advanced forms of the disease, trying to have sex is unlikely to benefit, but with inflammation, the prostate must be massaged. The best massage is done from the inside during ejaculation, as the muscles contract to ensure the movement of the sperm. If massage is not possible for some reason, the act of ejaculation would be an excellent complement to, or even a substitute for, prostate massage. In addition, total abstinence can lead to negative consequences such as stagnant blood in the genitals, decreased testosterone levels, and a decreased need for prostate activity, leading to its diminished function. These consequences further exacerbate the situation and can lead to worsening of the disease.

But on the other hand, ejaculation too often can also cause harm. Some men, after learning that sex has a positive effect on an inflamed prostate, can start active sex without staring too much at their partner, which can negatively impact the situation. Every female body has a special microflora that may not be compatible with the male microflora. Also, she may be a carrier of infectious or fungal disease, so unprotected sex will only lead to an inflammatory process. Therefore, it is recommended to have sex with your regular partner to reduce the risk of any complications.

In the absence of a permanent partner, it is necessary to clean the seminiferous ducts with the help of masturbation. Since prostatitis often results in premature ejaculation, you can start to delay the moment of orgasm, stop rubbing for a while, and then resume it again. But you should remember precautions not to overload your already weak body. No more than one ejaculation per day, but no less than one ejaculation per week.

Causes of Prostatitis

There are several common forms of this disease:

  • Acute prostatitis has the characteristic symptoms of all inflammatory processes: chills, pain in the affected area, fever. Sometimes when urinating, a white or colorless purulent material comes out of the canal. In some cases, acute prostatitis can lead to sepsis and require hospitalization. The cause of the disease is an infection that affects the prostate. Other factors that influence the development of the disease:
    1. low temperature;
    2. Irregular sex life, long-term abstinence;
    3. delayed urination;
    4. not an active lifestyle;
    5. Genitourinary diseases;
    6. have bad habits.
  • In addition, chronic prostatitis is also common. The disorder can occur without symptoms or worsening (minor problems with urination and sexual intercourse). In worsening cases, pain occurs. In addition, chronic prostatitis can lead to bladder inflammation because the prostate area is the focal point of infection throughout the genitourinary tract. To diagnose the disease, microbial samples are seeded in nutrient media and examined using a secret microscope from the prostate. The cause of this disease is bacterial lesions of the prostate. There are various theories to explain the occurrence of chronic prostatitis:
    1. The chemical inflammation theory, according to which inflammation occurs as a result of urine leaking into the prostate tissue. This requires increased urine pressure, which can be caused by a blockage in the urethra (such as semen remaining).
    2. The immune theory suggests that prostatitis itself is manifested in response to various antigens deposited in the prostate tissue.
    3. Neurogenic theory states that neurogenic inflammation occurs under the influence of bioactive substances released from nerve endings.

treat prostatitis

The earlier the treatment of prostatitis begins, the better, so early detection of the disease is one of the key factors. If in doubt, it is necessary to contact a urologist, who will take urine and blood samples and analyze them, and prescribe appropriate treatment.

To treat prostatitis, medical methods are used, the course of which can last up to 4 weeks:

  • Antibiotics are used to suppress infection or bacterial activity.
  • Alpha-blockers are used to promote disease progression by acting on adrenergic receptors.
  • Use anti-inflammatory drugs that act on inflamed glands.
  • Use herbal remedies to relieve symptoms.
  • Hormone therapy.

In addition to medication, the following methods are used:

  • prostate massage;
  • LOD treatment;
  • relaxation exercises;
  • physical therapy;
  • acupuncture;
  • In worsening cases, surgical intervention is used.
