Patient's question:
Doctor, I was carefully diagnosed with prostatitis two days ago. There is a burning sensation and slight pain when urinating at the urethral opening. Recently, my sexual desire has been a bit strong. I would like to consult with you. Can I have sex without a condom if I have prostatitis? Will it alleviate the inflammation?Doctor's answer:
If you have prostatitis, it is currently in a recurrent period, and you should not engage in sexual activity. Sexual activity can alleviate the inflammation and transmission, even with the use of condoms, which will also lead to symptom relief. Immediate treatment is necessary at this time, and sexual activity should only be resumed after the condition is cured. Since you currently have inflammation, engaging in sexual activity can transmit it to your partner, potentially causing recurrent vaginal infections or other gynecological issues. The above information can serve as a reference.
