Patient's question:
I am a male, and recently I've been feeling quite uncomfortable, so I went to the hospital for a consultation. The doctor told me that I have prostatitis. Now, I want to know if it's possible to have sexual activity with prostatitis. I'm worried that this is a contagious disease and that I might pass the inflammation to my wife.Doctor's answer:
Hello, prostatitis is not a contagious disease and will never affect your wife. It is necessary to use antibiotics promptly for anti-inflammatory treatment. During this period, try to have less sexual activity to avoid prostate congestion, which may affect the treatment of inflammation. Pay attention not to overexert yourself, avoid spicy and stimulating foods, and maintain good hygiene. Do not hold your urine. Take medication for treatment under the guidance of a doctor and avoid drinking beer. Wishing you good health.
