Does prostatitis have anything to do with sex life?

Patient's question:

My wife was training in a different city, so she rarely comes to my city. A few days ago, she came, and we spent a lot of time together. After my wife left, I started feeling discomfort in my reproductive organ. I went to the hospital, and the doctor said it was prostatitis. Does prostatitis have anything to do with sexual activity?

Doctor's answer:

Prostatitis can have a certain impact on sexual life, especially if sexual activity is too frequent, it may lead to the recurrence of obvious symptoms. In severe cases, it may even cause erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, and other sexual dysfunctions. Therefore, it is necessary to take appropriate oral medications for treating prostatitis, while it is also essential to regulate sexual life patterns. It should not be too frequent, nor too restrained. Having sexual activity once or twice a week is ideal. Additionally, it is important to pay attention to preventing abdominal coldness.
