Patient's question:
I am a patient with prostatitis and am currently taking medication. During the medication period, I have not had sexual activity. Will this affect the treatment outcome? Will the bacteria stay inside because I haven't had sexual activity? Because I don't understand, I asked the doctor.Doctor's answer:
Passive congestion of the prostate caused by irregular sexual activity, excessive sexual frequency, forced interruption of sexual intercourse, or excessive sexual restraint is an important pathogenic factor in prostatitis. Prostatitis should be treated with sensitive medications under the guidance of a doctor, and physical methods such as microwave, shortwave, guided fusion, multifunctional, and infusion can be selectively combined. In the treatment of prostatitis, in addition to medication and physical therapy, self-care is also very important for both treatment and preventing recurrence. It is advisable to reduce the intake of spicy foods, prevent overexertion, engage in appropriate exercise, pay attention to keeping warm, and especially moderate sexual activity. Although prostatitis is difficult to treat, if the cause is identified and systematic treatment is administered, some cases of prostatitis can still be cured.
