Patient's question:
I have chronic prostatitis. After having sex with my wife, I feel it's getting worse. Now I'm a bit timid. Does prostatitis cause premature ejaculation?Doctor's answer:
Sexual activity does not worsen the symptoms of chronic prostatitis, but if sexual activity is too frequent or masturbation is excessive, it can exacerbate the symptoms of prostatitis. Moderate sexual activity can even stabilize the condition, as chronic prostatitis is primarily caused by prolonged congestion. Moderate sexual activity helps reduce congestion in the prostate, thereby alleviating symptoms. Therefore, individuals with prostatitis do not need to completely abstain from sexual activity; they should simply avoid being overly frequent. Additionally, consuming some traditional Chinese medicine for toning and taking warm water sitz baths can also be beneficial.
