Patient's question:
I have prostatitis, and my urethra is very painful, just the typical symptoms of frequent urination, urgent urination, and incomplete urination. Everyone says that if you have prostatitis, you should not have sexual intercourse, but I can't hold it in. I've been holding it in for a week now, and it's hurting me now. Is abstinence necessary for prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis patients can have sexual intercourse every five, seven, or ten days, depending on their age. Those who are married or cohabiting unmarried and cannot have regular sexual life should also use other methods, such as sexual activity, to regularly and intermittently discharge semen. For prostatitis patients, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If not treated in a timely manner, it can affect the overall health condition. Therefore, patients should take oral medication promptly and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene.
