Patient's question:
Doctor, I am a patient with prostatitis. A few days ago, I went to the hospital for a follow-up check-up, and the doctor said I could stop taking medication. In the future, I should exercise more, drink more water, and abstain from sexual activity. I am still married, but the doctor asked me to abstain from sexual activity. If I don't ejaculate for a long time, is that not bad either? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Excessive sexual activity is also a cause of prostatitis. If the condition improves, focusing on sexual activity without restraint can easily lead to the recurrence of prostatitis. It is important to follow medical advice and rest properly. Prostatitis can be cured, but the treatment period is usually long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor, take medication appropriately, and avoid prolonged sitting or riding. Additionally, patients should pay attention to personal hygiene.
