Doctor's answer:

The situation you mentioned should wait for complete recovery after surgery before resuming sexual activity. Generally, the recovery time varies depending on the individual—some recover quickly, while others take longer. Typically, it takes more than 4 weeks to fully recover, at which point sexual activity can be resumed. However, it is important to pay attention to the duration and intensity of the activity to avoid injury. For patients with prostatitis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek appropriate treatment promptly and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
