Patient's question:
Urinary frequency has lasted for a year now. Initially, the doctor said it was a urinary tract infection and I was prescribed antibiotics, but the symptoms did not disappear (I had had sexual intercourse in the meantime). Last month, I went home to treat it, and the doctor diagnosed prostatitis, prescribing several medications including Roxithromycin and Qianmao Xin. In addition to the topical medication Qianmao An, I have been using these for nearly a month. During this period, I had one instance of sexual intercourse and three episodes of sexual activity. I want to know if this affects the treatment. Can I have sexual intercourse or masturbation during the treatment period? Can sexual activity or masturbation be performed during prostatitis treatment?Doctor's answer:
Regarding your condition, it does have a certain impact. During the treatment period, sexual activity is not allowed. However, an occasional sexual encounter can also be beneficial for the condition, as it can prevent irritation caused by excessive semen buildup. But it is still recommended not to have sexual intercourse or engage in sexual activity. In addition to timely treatment for prostatitis, patients should maintain a positive mindset to face the disease. Only in this way can they reduce their immunity and strengthen their belief in fighting the disease. At the same time, they should pay close attention to their dietary care and monitor their symptoms closely, believing that this will definitely drive away prostatitis.
