Does masturbation cause prostatitis?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I have a habit of frequent sexual activity, and I don't know if it's because of it that I developed prostatitis. Now I feel constantly tired and have a very weak libido. Could frequent sexual activity lead to prostatitis? How is prostatitis treated?

Doctor's answer:

If there is a habit of frequent long-term use, it is indeed easy to lead to prostate-related diseases, and this point must be paid attention to. If sexual desire becomes particularly erratic again, in addition to symptoms such as urgency and frequent urination that are typically associated with prostatitis, it may also be related to kidney dysfunction. It is necessary to go to the urology department of the hospital for a follow-up examination as soon as possible to conduct a more comprehensive check. It is also necessary to consult a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner to take the pulse for a definitive diagnosis, to see if there are any issues with kidney deficiency.
