2. Men have an organ that women do not have -
the prostate. But this small thing resembling a
chestnut is constantly troublesome, causing
many middle-aged and elderly men to
complain incessantly.
4. Doctors suggest that whether a man with prostatitis
should engage in sexual activity depends on the
individual case. Normal sexual life is important for
couples, but prostatitis can affect sexual desire,
pleasure, quality, and frequency. During acute
prostatitis, symptoms like high fever, perineal pain, and
swelling, along with difficult urination, can suppress
male sexual function and lower sexual desire.
6. In acute prostatitis, sexual activity is
discouraged due to painful intercourse and
poor quality of sexual life. Additionally, prostatic
fluid in acute cases may contain a high
concentration of bacteria and pathogens,
potentially harmful to female partners and
could cause gynecological diseases or
inflammation.
Abstinence is advised until all clinical symptoms
disappear and general health is restored,
typically half a month after recovery.
8. Chronic prostatitis patients might
experience reduced sexual
function, including erectile
dysfunction, premature ejaculation,
painful ejaculation, frequent
ejaculation, or hematospermia.
Some cases are caused by improper
sexual practices or excessive focus
on sexual issues.
10. Many cases of chronic prostatitis are non-bacterial, and
even bacterial prostatitis is often less severe than acute
cases, posing minimal risk of infection to female
partners.
Exceptions include prostatitis
caused by specific pathogens like
gonococci, chlamydia, or
mycoplasma, which can be
transmitted through sexual
activity.
11. Chronic prostatitis patients are advised to avoid sexual activity
during acute flare-ups and local treatments like prostate
injections. However, during stable periods or between flare-
ups, sexual activity is acceptable and should be maintained,
albeit with controlled frequency.
