Patient's question:
I was at my prime but I developed prostatitis. Now I am taking medication for treatment. I have been feeling cold for over a month because I am worried that sex will interfere with the treatment. Now I want to consult how patients with prostatitis can have sex. Does sex alleviate the symptoms of prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Theoretically, chronic non-bacterial prostatitis is contagious, and chronic non-bacterial prostatitis is caused by non-septic microorganisms. However, due to the cultivation of bacteria in prostatic fluid, high technology and equipment are required for diagnosis and treatment, even in non-bacterial prostatitis patients. In daily life, to prevent transmission to a partner, it is best to avoid direct contact during sexual activity until sexual function is fully restored or when using condoms during intercourse to prevent transmission.
