Can men with prostatitis have sexual intercourse?

Patient's question:

The doctor is 35 years old this year. I am training outside, and today our company started its classes. I want to go home and have sex with my wife, but I have prostatitis. I am also afraid to go home because I might lose control when I see my wife. I would like to ask you, can men with prostatitis have sex?

Doctor's answer:

Currently, with prostatitis, sexual activity is strictly prohibited. On the one hand, it can cause harm to the health of the partner, and on the other hand, it can exacerbate the symptoms of the inflammation itself. It is recommended to adopt a combined treatment approach of traditional Chinese and Western medicine for symptomatic treatment, with a course of 7~10 days. In terms of diet, it should be light and gentle, avoiding extremely cold, spicy, and irritating foods. Smoking and drinking beer should be avoided, and regular follow-up checks should be conducted.
