Should I control my sex life if I have chronic prostatitis? The answer is no. The main pathological changes of prostate inflammation are gland congestion and retention of inflammatory secretions in glandular fluid. Advocates of forbidding sexual intercourse usually believe that prostatitis is aggravated because the prostate and even the whole pelvic cavity are in a state of congestion during sexual intercourse. In fact, although people can artificially control sexual intercourse, they can't ban sexual impulse as a normal physiological phenomenon, and the prostate and even the whole pelvic congestion caused by sexual impulse can't be banned. At the same time, whether sexual intercourse is forbidden during sexual impulse and the duration of prostate congestion are also very different. Studies have shown that after orgasm (ejaculation), the time for pelvic congestion to subside is 15 ~ >; Thirty minutes. If there is an asexual orgasm, it will take 1 day for pelvic congestion to subside. This shows that during sexual impulse, it takes much longer to ban sexual intercourse than to prevent prostate congestion during sexual intercourse. In addition, the prostatic fluid in semen accounts for about 1/3. In the process of sexual intercourse, some inflammatory secretions in glandular fluid will also be discharged, which will also be beneficial to the alleviation and rehabilitation of its inflammation. Therefore, it is inappropriate for patients with prostatitis to ban sexual intercourse, and it should be better to let nature take its course.
In fact, the prostate itself is a secretory organ, which constantly produces prostatic fluid and needs to be discharged regularly. This is the real secret of maintaining the prostate.
First of all, when inflammation occurs in the prostate, there can be many pathogens and inflammatory cells in the prostatic fluid. If you don't have sex, the prostatic fluid will accumulate in the acinus and cannot be discharged, and the pathogens will continue to multiply. Although you take effective drug treatment, you will often not get satisfactory results. Secondly, adult men who can't discharge prostatic fluid or ejaculate for a long time will have a feeling of fullness in the perineum of the lower abdomen and a strong desire to discharge the swollen things. If this desire can't be met, it will often cause penis erection and prostate congestion due to sexual impulse, which will aggravate the symptoms of chronic prostatitis. Third, in the process of sexual life, through ejaculation, the smooth muscle of the prostate can be contracted, and the prostatic fluid can be discharged into the urethra, which can play a better drainage role than prostate massage. Fourth, a small number of patients have no sexual life for a long time, and they are indifferent to sex for a long time, and even have sexual apathy and various sexual dysfunction.
Therefore, obviously reducing or abstaining from sexual life is not beneficial to patients with chronic prostatitis. Patients should maintain moderate sexual life according to their age, sexual interest and physical health, neither too frequently nor abstinence. Regular sexual life or masturbation will not only harm the prostate, but also maintain the normal metabolism of the prostate, help to remove harmful substances in the prostate and accelerate local blood circulation, which is conducive to the recovery of prostate function and accelerate the regression of inflammation. It is also an important measure to close the relationship between husband and wife and avoid sexual apathy. For patients with sexual dysfunction, besides actively treating inflammation, some drugs can also be properly applied to improve sexual function.
how do patients face sexual life? Sexual life is an important part of husband and wife's life, and harmonious and happy sexual life is a natural need of men and women's physiology. However, the sexual life of patients with prostatitis may be affected to some extent, and their sexual taste, sexual feelings, quality and frequency of sexual life will change accordingly.
When suffering from acute prostatitis, due to high fever and other systemic symptoms, as well as pain, discomfort and swelling in the perineum, dysuria is caused. At this time, sexual function will be inhibited and sexual desire will be temporarily low.
If you have acute prostatitis, if you have sex again, you will do it under very reluctant circumstances. In addition, it will cause pain during sexual intercourse, and the quality of sexual life will inevitably be poor. In addition, the prostatic fluid of patients with acute prostatitis may contain a large number of pathogenic microorganisms such as bacteria, and if it is discharged with semen, it is also very unfavorable to the woman. Therefore, it is not appropriate to have sex in acute prostatitis, and effective treatment must be adopted until all clinical symptoms disappear and the general health is restored for half a month before sexual life can be gradually restored.
Some patients with chronic prostatitis may suffer from sexual dysfunction, such as erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, ejaculation pain, frequent ejaculation and even hemospermia. Some patients with chronic prostatitis are caused by improper sexual life or excessive indulgence in sexual problems, including frequent masturbation, sexual intercourse interruption, strong sexual desire and excessive concentration on sexual problems, which makes sexual impulses occur frequently and causes repeated hyperemia of the prostate, but most patients with chronic prostatitis. Patients with chronic prostatitis are often accompanied by neurasthenia and autonomic dysfunction. Many patients will have psychological anxiety and worry that the disease will affect their sexual function. Some patients even dare not get married because of this, which really causes sexual dysfunction.
If patients with chronic prostatitis have sex, they can generally complete the whole process of sexual intercourse as long as there is no sexual dysfunction. If there is still pain in sexual intercourse and ejaculation, we should prohibit or strictly control sexual life and actively cooperate with the treatment. Because a considerable part of chronic prostatitis is non-bacterial, and even bacterial prostatitis is mostly caused by ordinary bacteria or opportunistic pathogens, the number of pathogenic bacteria is much less than that of acute prostatitis, and generally it will not cause infection or any adverse effects on the woman. Only some special pathogens, such as prostatitis patients caused by gonococcal, chlamydia and mycoplasma infections, may infect women through sexual life.
Patients with chronic prostatitis should stop having sex properly during the acute stage of infection and local treatment such as local injection of prostate, but they can and should have sex during the stable period of clinical symptoms or between episodes, but it is suggested to control the frequency of sexual intercourse, such as once a week or once every two weeks. Regular emptying of prostatic fluid is beneficial to clear inflammation in prostate and promote local blood circulation. It is suggested that sex organs should be washed before and after sexual life, and condoms should be worn during sexual life, so as to prevent semen from directly entering the woman's reproductive tract, which may avoid potential harm to the woman. Using condoms can also avoid infecting some pathogenic bacteria or opportunistic pathogenic microorganisms in the woman's vagina during sexual life, because the prostate immune function of patients with chronic prostatitis is very low and it is extremely easy to be infected.
Nowadays, prostate disease is no longer a "patent" for middle-aged men, and young and middle-aged men should also be vigilant. The best way to prevent it is to develop the hygienic habit of cleaning the lower body frequently. Combine exercise, rest and diet reasonably to achieve a regular life. In daily life, drink more boiled water and less coffee and hard liquor. Eat less fried food and high-fat food, and eat more fruits and vegetables and raw nuts containing natural unsaturated fatty acids, such as sunflower seeds and sesame seeds. In addition, sexual life should be regular and moderate, and we must lead an honest and clean life.
