Patient's question:
My prostate has some inflammation, but it's not a big problem. Because of the prostate issue, I can't be intimate with my girlfriend these days, which makes me feel sad. I have some shortcomings in this area, but I've been taking medication. Does a prostate problem affect masturbation?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis infection can potentially affect kidney function, and further may impact sexual life. The recurrence of impotence and premature ejaculation, as well as dissatisfaction during sexual activity, may reappear. Pay attention to your specific symptoms and use anti-inflammatory drugs promptly to treat the prostatitis. It is advisable to temporarily avoid sexual activity for the time being. Avoid spicy and irritating foods to prevent worsening of prostatitis symptoms and carefully monitor the treatment for a period. Prostatitis can be relieved, but the treatment period is generally long.
