Does prostatitis have anything to do with sex life?

Patient's question:

My wife is undergoing training in a different city and rarely comes to my city. A few days ago, she visited, and we had a lot of intimacy. After she left, I started experiencing discomfort in my reproductive organs. I went to the hospital, and the doctor diagnosed me with 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 cause obvious symptoms to reappear. In severe cases, it may even lead to impotence, premature ejaculation, and sexual dysfunction. Therefore, it is necessary to take appropriate oral medications for treating prostatitis while also adjusting sexual patterns. It should not be too frequent or too restrained; having sexual activity once or twice a week is ideal. Additionally, it is important to pay attention to preventing abdominal coldness.
