Patient's question:
The urologist said it's recommended to have 2-3 ejaculation per week! I have prostatitis, and it's related to my previous sexual activity. So recently, I haven't had any. Today, after the doctor prescribed traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, he said it's necessary to have 2-3 ejaculation per week... However, I'm afraid it will worsen the condition further (is there any difference between masturbation and sexual intercourse for ejaculation? Can I only masturbate and not have sexual intercourse?). I'm currently very confused and don't know whether to follow his advice.Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, during the treatment period for prostatitis, you can have appropriate sexual activity or masturbation, and practice timely self-care. A healthy and appropriate dietary habit, combined with appropriate physical exercise, timely self-care, attention to personal hygiene, and symptomatic treatment—wishing you good health. For severe prostatitis patients, it is recommended to seek immediate medical attention and follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment. Avoid blindly relying on advertisements or over-the-counter drugs for treatment, as this may worsen the condition. The above opinions are for reference only. It is hoped that the above answer can help you. Thank you.
