Will prostatitis improve before quitting masturbation?

Patient's question:

Had a history of sexual activity. A few days ago, a prostatic fluid test revealed prostatitis, and I was prescribed Cefixime to take for a week, along with abstaining from sexual activity. Will prostatitis improve?

Doctor's answer:

Giving up masturbation requires a period of time to return to normal. Some patients with mild conditions may recover within dozens of days, while those with more severe conditions may need half a year or even longer. Moderate masturbation can help alleviate desires. However, long-term excessive masturbation can affect a man's physical health. It is recommended that patients give up the habit of masturbation as soon as possible. In some cases, it may even lead to impotence and premature ejaculation. It is advised that patients exercise more to strengthen their physical fitness.
