Patient's question:
Hello, I am 44 years old and have recently been experiencing frequent urination, urgency, and incomplete urination. After a thorough examination at the hospital, I was diagnosed with prostatitis. However, recently, I want to engage in sexual activity with my wife, but I am worried that it might worsen my prostatitis or cause harm to my wife. So, I would like to ask if it is okay to have sex with prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis may not be suitable for sexual intercourse. If you have prostatitis, you should seek medical attention and receive proper treatment in a timely manner. It is best to avoid sexual activity until the condition is fully cured. Overindulgence in sexual activity is also prohibited. Sexual intercourse may cause congestion of the prostate, exacerbate infection, and hinder recovery. During illness, sexual activity may transmit bacteria and viruses to your partner, which can also harm their health. For prostatitis patients, timely treatment can reduce the frequency of outbreaks. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and maintain a regular lifestyle, avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
