Patient's question:
Hello doctor? Can I have sex with prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is divided into two types: chronic and acute. When acute, it is not advisable to have sexual intercourse, as it can cause the prostate to become congested during sexual arousal, leading to worsened inflammation. Chronic prostatitis, on the other hand, can be managed with appropriate sexual activity. Additionally, moderate sexual activity helps in the of prostatic fluid and semen, prevents the stagnation of pathogens, promotes local blood circulation, and aids in the recovery of prostatitis. It is recommended to promptly examine your condition and seek treatment accordingly. Also, pay attention to the frequency of sexual activity, drink plenty of water, maintain cleanliness, and avoid alcohol as much as possible. Limit the intake of spicy foods like chili peppers and ginger. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
