Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I have been feeling unwell recently and went to the hospital for a check-up. I was diagnosed with a prostatitis abscess. How long after the surgery can I have sexual intercourse?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 and resume sexual activity, but it's important to pay attention to the duration and intensity of the activity to prevent any injury. Prostate issues can be healed, but the treatment process is usually slow, and there's a high risk of recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication should be used according to the specific symptoms. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene. We hope male patients can recover as soon as possible!
