Patient's question:
Is it possible to have sexual intercourse without a condom with prostatitis? The help I want: I want to know if I can have sexual intercourse.Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis, if not treated actively, can lead to sexual dysfunction and kidney deficiency. It is recommended that you actively seek treatment. Prostatitis is difficult to cure completely, so it is hoped that you are mentally prepared and actively pursue treatment. The best approach for treating prostatitis is a combination of Western and Chinese medicine. First, use antibiotics for 7-14 days, then follow up with traditional Chinese medicine for consolidation. Treatment for prostatitis must be systematic and follow a course-based approach to achieve a complete cure.During treatment, drink plenty of water, avoid prolonged sitting or riding, and refrain from consuming foods. Do not smoke or drink alcohol. Maintain a regular sexual life. It is recommended that you seek treatment at a formal hospital.
In addition to medication, I recommend a physical therapy called warm Sitz bath: Pour about 40% water (enough that your hand does not feel hot) into a basin, filling it about halfway. Sit in the bath for 10-30 minutes each time. When the water cools, add a small amount of hot water to maintain an effective temperature. Do this 1-2 times a day, with 10 days constituting one course. This helps in the discharge of inflammatory secretions.
