The prostate is called a man's "second heart" because it helps maintain erectile function and testosterone synthesis, the main male hormone production. Inflammatory organ damage is diagnosed in every tenth male, and most patients do not know whether the correct answer is whether it is possible to have sex with prostatitis, and how intimate relationships affect the course of the disease.
The urologist said: Long-term abstinence can cause blood stagnation in the prostate, which aggravates the condition and records the disease. However, it is impossible to clearly answer whether prostatitis sex is useful or not-it all depends on the pathological stage and the individual characteristics of the patient. We will deal with this issue in more detail below.
What is prostatitis
Prostatitis is inflammation of the prostate, when the organs are enlarged several times and hyperplasia is sometimes observed. The disease is caused by age-related changes and the following factors:
- Groin hypothermia-hypothermia of the genitals;
- hormone imbalance;
- Abuse of bad habits;
- The impact of stress.
The initial symptoms of the disease are severe pain during urination and enlarged prostate, so men lack of sex life, which is manifested by the following characteristics:
- Lack of sustained erections;
- Often want to urinate;
- Prolonged nocturnal erections;
- Accelerated ejaculation;
- Decrease in performance and increase in fatigue;
- Loss of libido.
In the absence of pathology, blood will pour into the penis, which excites the organs. When a man sees a woman, an attraction will wake up. The affected prostate enlarges with the penis, which makes the patient feel uncomfortable and painful, so the erectile ability is reduced and sexual intercourse is not possible.
Intimate life and prostatitis
All men after the age of 30 are at risk of prostatitis. Prostate inflammation is an unpleasant diagnosis. Lack of treatment can lead to spasmodic chronic pain in the lower abdomen, increased fever, chills, and decreased erections. Prostatic adenoma is a benign tumor.
Opinions on the intimate relationship with prostatitis are divided into two camps. Not only patients with prostatitis, but also doctors have also expressed their opinions. Some interviewees believe that sex is necessary when sick to maintain male function, while others believe that sex interferes with the normal function of the affected organs.
reference! The secretory organs produce the fluids needed for adequate sexual intercourse. Without regular intimacy, prostate dysfunction can occur.
Treatment of prostatitis includes massage. However, not all patients are patient and massage their organs regularly. Sex means a massage therapy: in the final stage of intercourse, the pelvic muscles and glands contract.
With ejaculation (ejaculation), the release of prostate secretions increases, so sex is beneficial. But this disease differs in two types of processes:
- sharp;
- Chronic.
Each form of pathology has nuances, and these nuances need to be considered when making recommendations and prescribing.
Have sex with acute prostatitis
Gender and pathological deterioration are incompatible concepts. The patient feels all the signs of the disease:
- abdominal pain;
- Difficulty urinating or frequent urination;
- Pain during urination;
- Burning sensation in the perineum and urethra;
- The rise of temperature indicators;
- General discomfort.
This situation is not conducive to intimacy, men's erectile function declines. In addition, if prostatitis is caused by a sexually transmitted infection, the partner is at high risk of contracting a sexually transmitted disease. In addition to prostatitis treatment, men also need to heal the infection process and only engage in protected sex.
With proper treatment, the acute course takes 3 to 5 days.
Have sex with chronic prostatitis
During chronic prostatitis, male representatives will not feel painful symptoms, so sex is necessary and can be used as a massage to the prostate. In addition to active sexual intercourse, other treatment measures prescribed by the doctor should not be forgotten.
The dangers of intimacy
attention! Doctors do not recommend polygamy for sex-to avoid complications, stick to a close relationship with one partner.
If the organ does not work, its function is lost. Sexual abstinence can cause blood stagnation in the small pelvis, which can lead to recurrence of the disease. If there is no permanent sexual partner at the time of treatment, the doctor recommends masturbation. Masturbation has a massage effect, not very deep, but it is better than no sex at all-to prevent congestion of the pelvic organs.
Sometimes, after the patient is diagnosed with the disease, he begins to have sex. Organized contact is best: frequent changes of partners may cause conflicts in the microbial community, which can lead to relapse.
If you are diagnosed with bacterial prostatitis, you must avoid sex. Sexual life can cause symptoms to worsen and is the cause of the spread of bacteria to the urinary organs-the kidneys and bladder. During ejaculation, pathogenic microorganisms affect the urinary system through the urethra.
Before having sex due to acute bacterial prostatitis, antibiotic treatment should be started first. It is recommended to start sex after recovery-to avoid complications.
The importance of sex in prostatitis
When the prostate is inflamed, it is necessary to have sex, because the blood rushes and the organs shrink. In an intimate relationship, the decay process formed in the inflammatory process comes out. When the sexual intercourse is completed, the toxin enters the secret of the prostate and is then excreted from the body.
Studies have shown that 50% of men surveyed have erectile dysfunction during their illness, and 25% of men have decreased libido. Almost 90% of respondents rarely had sex at the time of diagnosis, and more than half of women’s relationships with women deteriorated or stopped altogether.
In this case, it is recommended to use special methods to increase libido.
The effect of disease on semen
Prostate inflammation can negatively affect male reproductive function. Sperm quality is reduced, so infertility and impotence are sometimes diagnosed due to damage to the prostate. As the synthesis of androgens (hormones responsible for maintaining male function) is reduced, the attractiveness to women is reduced.
The prostate is responsible for producing sperm. However, in the presence of organ inflammation, the production of ejaculation is reduced, and in the presence of complications, azoospermia-the absence of sperm is observed. It is difficult for the patient to achieve orgasm. Patients often complain of weak ejaculation, because some ejaculation does not ejaculate, but flows out, accompanied by discharge, the partner will feel discomfort, burning, pain.
Sperm thickens. Infertility is characterized by a decrease in sperm count.
notes! In most cases, when the color or consistency of semen changes, men will notice the change in semen.
prevention
If a man has prostatitis, it is important to wear a condom for sex before it is completely cured. With inflammation of the prostate, the patient's immunity decreases. Interactions with other people’s microbiota can aggravate the condition. As the body's protective function declines, pathogenic bacteria from foreign conditions enter the urethra and then into the prostate.
Oral sex also means safety, because bacteria and harmful microorganisms accumulate in the mouth. Pathogenic microorganisms are safe for healthy people, but dangerous for patients with weakened immunity.
For prostatitis, any type of sexual activity is allowed until anal sex. However, in the acute phase, abstinence is recommended-to avoid aggravating the condition.
Sex after treatment
Male diseases require compulsory treatment. Treatment depends on the severity of the pathology and the general condition of the patient. Doctors offer many different methods-from ineffective treatment to radical cure-through surgery.
reference! Without treatment, 90% of cases will turn to kidney inflammation and urinary stone formation, and the risk of adenoma and prostate cancer will increase.
In advanced cases, the urologist prepares the patient for surgery, and complications rarely occur afterwards-only 10% of cases, and recovery is easy. After the operation, patients are advised to observe the following rules about intimacy:
- Only after 3-4 months is allowed to resume intimate life;
- During the adaptation period, it is important to eliminate physical overwork;
- The herbal treatment promotes the establishment of the urinary process.
In the psychological context, early sexual intercourse after surgery can lead to mental disorders and sexual desire.
Sexual life after the operation is characterized by no semen ejaculation, and the erection gradually improves. It is very important for men to establish a trusting relationship with their partners. To avoid stressful situations, it is important for women to provide trusting help to their partners, because men without prostate will feel inferior.
The recovery of libido depends on the operation technique:
- Transurethral resection-complete or partial removal of the prostate. It is recommended to live intimately for 30 days after surgery. After the operation, conception does not occur-the sperm is thrown into the ureter.
- Intracavitary prostatectomy is a rare surgical method, the most common is to remove the prostate through a laparoscope. But at the advanced stage, this technique is being implemented. Due to the high risk of postoperative complications, sex is allowed after one to two months.
- Laser prostatectomy is a minimally invasive technique that allows you to start sexual intercourse a few weeks after the operation, depending on the patient’s health.
If a person shows signs of impotence before the operation, it is impossible to recover from the impotence after the operation.
prevention
The most important preventive measure for prostatitis is regular sexual activity. Having sex with prostate inflammation has the following positive effects:
- Uncomfortable and unpleasant feelings will not bring pleasure, but orgasm is good for men, it is conducive to the cure of diseases and the elimination of pain. If a man is worried about pain, the doctor recommends taking anesthetics one and a half hours before sexual intercourse.
- When diagnosing acute bacterial prostatitis, massage is absolutely contraindicated, but no one cancels sex-make love more to stimulate blood circulation, but don't forget contraception-condoms.
- Having sex, it will be possible to completely get rid of the stagnant process in the pelvic organs.
reference! According to statistics, the frequency of prostate inflammation is lower among men who have a regular sexual partner and have sex at least 2 times a week.
The most effective treatment for prostatitis is sexual activity. Intimacy promotes blood flow to the pelvic organs, including the prostate, prevents congestion, and has a beneficial effect on overall health. If men have genital dysfunction, it is recommended to consult a urologist when the first symptoms appear to avoid complications. The doctor will give the necessary advice and prescribe treatment.
Basic rules of sex life:
- Don't neglect intimacy, but don't make love too frequently-the frequency of sexual pleasure should not be less than twice a week;
- It is very important to complete sexual intercourse-complete with ejaculation;
- If pain or burning occurs during this process, it is recommended to avoid sex until the pain symptoms are completely eliminated;
- During therapeutic interventions, it is best to use condoms-to avoid microbial community conflict and the spread of STI.
