Patient's question:
Doctor, last week I had sexual intercourse with my girlfriend, but recently I've been feeling uncomfortable with my penis. I went to the hospital, and the result was that I have prostatitis. I want to ask you, is prostatitis related to sexual activity?Doctor's answer:
The causes of prostatitis are numerous, and it also has a very close relationship with sexual activity. Excessive sexual activity can cause the prostate to repeatedly rush blood, leading to the accumulation of local decomposition metabolites, which may hinder the excretion of prostatic fluid and result in the recurrence of acute prostatitis. It is recommended to have sexual activity 1-2 times a week, which can prevent excessive blood flow to the prostate and eliminate the accumulation of prostatic fluid. Sexual activity helps reduce and heal prostatitis.
