The prostate gland is very important for the human body, because it synthesizes substances that are part of sperm. The inflammatory process in the prostate gland is called prostatitis. The disease affects the erection, as well as the process of urination, which in turn affects a person’s emotional state. In further cases, prostatitis turns into prostate adenoma, often the disease is accompanied by vasculitis or urethritis.
The occurrence of acute or chronic prostatitis affects the entire male body, and first of all, the organs of the genitourinary system. At the same time, sexual life also suffers, because against the background of inflammatory processes in the prostate gland, erectile dysfunction and problems with potency can be observed.
This condition significantly reduces a man's quality of life and requires the appointment of therapy. At the same time, many patients ask themselves whether it is possible to have sex in the treatment of prostatitis and whether this will lead to the development of the disease?
Is it possible to have sex with prostatitis
Since young people can get sick with prostatitis, and not just retirees, and they are full of strength and energy, then of course they are interested in whether it is possible to have sex with prostatitis. Expert opinions on this issue can be divided into two categories: some support the idea of prolonged sexual abstinence, while others support the idea that a person cannot stop living an active sex life. In fact, prostatitis is not the cause of impotence, but the pain after orgasm forces men to give up worldly pleasures.
Of course, with more advanced forms of the disease, attempts to make love are unlikely to benefit, but with inflammation, the prostate gland must be massaged. Massage is best done from the inside, during ejaculation, because the muscles contract, which ensures the movement of spermatozoa. The act of ejaculation would be an excellent addition to a prostate massage or even a substitute, if for some reason it is impossible to massage. Also, with complete sexual abstinence, there are negative consequences such as blood stasis in the genitals, testosterone levels decrease, the need for prostate activity decreases, so its function fades. This consequence exacerbates the condition and can lead to worsening of the disease.
But on the other hand, ejaculation too often can be harmful. Some men, after learning that having sex has a positive effect on an inflamed prostate, can start an active sex life without seeing their partner too much, which will negatively affect the situation. Every female body has a special microflora, which may not be compatible with the male microflora. In addition, he may be a carrier of infectious or fungal diseases, so unprotected sex can only lead to inflammatory processes. Therefore, it is advisable to fall in love with your regular partner to reduce the risk of any complications.
If there is no permanent partner, it is necessary to clean the seminal vesicles with the help of masturbation. Since ejaculation often occurs prematurely with prostatitis, you can begin to delay the moment of orgasm, stop the friction temporarily, and then resume. But you should remember about precautions and not to burden the already weak body. You cannot achieve more than one ejaculation per day, but not less than one ejaculation per week.
Causes of prostatitis
There are several common forms of this disease:
- Acute prostatitis has symptoms characteristic of all inflammatory processes: chills, pain in the affected area, fever. Sometimes during urination, a whitish or colorless purulent formation comes out of the ducts. In some cases, acute prostatitis leads to sepsis and requires hospitalization. The cause of this disease is an infection that affects the prostate. Additional factors that affect the development of the disease:
- hypothermia;
- Irregular sexual life, prolonged abstinence;
- delayed urination;
- Not an active way of life;
- Diseases of the genitourinary system;
- Have bad habits.
- In addition, chronic prostatitis is common. The disease can occur without symptoms or without exacerbation (there are mild problems with urination and during intercourse). In case of exacerbation, pain appears. Also, chronic prostatitis can cause inflammation of the bladder, as the prostate area is the focus of infection of the entire genitourinary tract. To diagnose the disease, samples of microorganisms were inoculated in nutrient medium, and secretory microscopy of the prostate was also used. The cause of this disease is a bacterial lesion of the prostate gland. There are various theories that explain the occurrence of chronic prostatitis:
- Theory of chemical inflammation, according to which inflammation occurs as a result of the penetration of urine into the tissue of the prostate gland. This requires an increase in urinary pressure, which can be caused by obstruction in the urinary tract (e. g. , semen residue).
- Immune theory suggests that prostatitis manifests itself in response to various antigens that have been stored in prostate tissue.
- Neurogenic theory states that neurogenic inflammation occurs under the influence of biologically active substances released at nerve endings.
Treatment of prostatitis
The sooner prostatitis treatment begins, the better, so early detection of the disease is one of the main factors. If suspected, it is necessary to contact a urologist, who will take samples and analysis of urine and blood, as well as prescribe appropriate treatment.
To treat prostatitis, medical methods are used, a course of treatment that can last up to 4 weeks:
- The use of antibiotics to block infection or bacterial activity.
- The use of alpha blockers, which facilitate the course of the disease by acting on adregenetic receptors.
- The use of anti-inflammatory drugs that act on inflamed glands.
- The use of herbal remedies that relieve symptoms.
- hormone therapy.
In addition to medical treatment, the following methods are used:
- prostate massage;
- LOD therapy;
- Relaxing exercise;
- Physical therapy;
- Acupuncture;
- In case of exacerbation, surgical intervention is used.
