Is it possible to have sex with prostatitis?

People with prostatitis doubt whether it is okay to have sex. This is a sensitive issue that needs to be addressed. From this article you will learn how intimate intercourse affects the disease, how and how much you can have sex and when it is forbidden.

The prostate in more than half of men undergoes inflammatory processes, so the topic of sex with prostatitis is very relevant. Moreover, the pathology is accompanied not only by painful urination, but also by impaired sexual function (decreased libido and potency).

Effect of sex on prostatitis

More often than not, men believe it is impossible to have sex with prostate disease. But this is a misconception, because sexual contact has the most beneficial effect on potency and healing processes.

It is known that prostatitis occurs due to lack of sex and congestion. This is due to the fact that secretion is secreted during ejaculation, which results in an increase in the amount of testosterone produced (male sex hormone). In addition, regular relationships have the following effect:

• Prostate juice is actively produced;
• blood circulation in the prostate is restored;
• the seed removes decomposition products from the inflamed area;
• improves cell and tissue nutrition thanks to active blood supply;
• the prostate is massaged in the background of muscle contraction;
• pain syndrome decreases;
It has been improved
• erection function.

In acute form

When prostatitis is acute, medicine does not recommend sexual intercourse. The reason for that is intense pain that will intensify during intercourse and ejaculation. In addition, the pain is felt even at rest. And man will not get pleasure during the period of deterioration.

For chronic form

In the case of a chronic course of the disease, sexual intercourse is, on the contrary, shown. Moreover, sex should be as regular as possible. Pain does not appear in this period, the person experiences pleasant sensations.

The only drawback is the weakening of the erection. But this can be corrected if you follow all the recommendations of experts. And especially in terms of psychological aspects. Because in that background, the husband avoids contact with the wife, and this leads to the development of new stagnant phenomena. As a result, the disease progresses with renewed vigor.

But excessive sex is also not recommended, because an inflamed prostate cannot withstand significant loads. So you have to stick to the golden mean.

Sex after therapy

If prostatitis has not been advanced, then conservative methods are sufficient for treatment. In this case, after complete recovery, intimate life improves on its own. But if radical methods of therapy have been used - removal of the prostate - you will have to adhere to these rules in order to continue sexual intercourse:

• intimate life can continue for 30-50 days after surgery;
• physical activity during rehabilitation is excluded;
• it is recommended to perform physiotherapy procedures;
• you need to visit a psychotherapist to restore the psycho-emotional background.

The prognosis of male strength recovery largely depends on the surgical method used:

• after transurethral surgery in 90 cases out of 100, potency is restored, but it becomes impossible to conceive a child because ejaculation is done into the bladder;
• after open prostatectomy intimate life becomes better;
• if the prostate is removed with a laser, sexual life is restored.

When a man had complete impotence before surgery, erectile function does not fully recover after surgery.

When is it forbidden to have sex with prostatitis?

As mentioned above, it is forbidden to have sex during the worsening of the disease, because the man will experience unbearable pain, and the symptoms that appear will get worse.

But there are other situations in which sex has a negative impact:

1. The bacterial type of prostatitis in its acute form leads to the spread of the inflammatory process to other organs of the small pelvis, the kidneys. In addition, there is a risk of infection of the partner. For these reasons, complete abstinence is required until the moment of recovery.
2. Presence of female diseases in partners, especially bacterial form.
3. If there is no ejaculation during intercourse. Sperm produced by the prostate stagnate in the organ, which worsens the patient's condition.
4. When women change often. The fact is that each person has their own genital microflora, to which the male body must adapt. If you constantly change it, then prostatitis worsens and becomes more complicated - the inflammatory process does not allow rapid change.
5. Too frequent contact leads to increased stress on the prostate.
6. Stop having sex. In this case, the prostate is not completely emptied, and the remains of semen contribute to the reproduction of pathogenic microorganisms.
7. Inflammatory processes in seminal tubercles and vesicles - pain will be present.
8. An abscess in the prostate leads to blood poisoning because the capsule can burst and pus will enter the bloodstream.
9. The presence of stones in the prostate (will damage tissues and blood vessels).
10. The formation of a cyst is dangerous due to its rupture and internal bleeding.

How often is sex with prostatitis recommended?

During intimate mating, the prostate produces ejaculate that contains many nutrients that saturate the male genitalia. After ejaculation, semen begins to be synthesized again, so sex should be present in the life of a patient with prostatitis. But how many should there be? In fact, there are no standard standards, so every man is required to have sex as many times as he did before the disease. But it should not be less than 3 or 4 times a week.

Psychological aspect

A disease like prostatitis often leads to a cooling of feelings in a married couple, as male strength decreases. In this context, he begins to fear intimate relationships, which affects the psychological state.

Constant fears significantly weaken libido, speed up the ejaculation process and reduce erections. To prevent this from happening, the man and his partner must adjust to a positive result. A wife is obliged to cheer up her husband and not stop having sex with him. Otherwise, the husband will not give preference to sex, but to other activities - he will find a new hobby, start drinking alcohol, which will further affect the inflamed prostate and psychological background.

This leads to progression of pathology, external irritability, and even aggression, and standing ejaculate will cause nocturnal emissions. If the couple cannot cope with psychological problems on their own, they will have to seek help from a specialist - a sexologist, psychotherapist or psychologist. Medical help from such doctors is also necessary in cases when a man does not have a permanent partner who will deal with the problem with understanding.

You can go to a sexologist on your own, but it is better if your wife also visits him, because a specialist will teach her the correct tactics of behavior.

Contraception for prostatitis

A prostatitis condom should always be in the couple's bedroom. This is due to the fact that the female microflora with inflammation of the prostate can have a negative effect, because it contains conditionally pathogenic microbes that easily penetrate the urethral canal and gland.

Contraception is used not only for normal sex, but also for oral, anal sex, because microorganisms are present in the oral cavity and rectum, in large quantities. These bacteria have a strong microbial load that the reproductive system cannot cope with.

Anal sex with prostatitis

It is not forbidden to engage in anal intercourse with prostatitis of the prostate. So you can do it safely with a woman. If we are talking about representatives of non-traditional orientation, then a sick man, passive, can also engage in anal sex. Moreover, this process promotes prostate massage. But you must know that massaging the genitals through the rectum does not have a strong therapeutic effect, unlike a massage performed with the finger of a qualified specialist.

When anal sex is contraindicated:

1. The patient should monitor the condition of the prostate - if the symptoms begin to intensify, anal stimulation will have to be discontinued as the inflamed gland becomes irritated and swollen.
2. If a man uses rectal suppositories for treatment, anal intercourse is contraindicated. The fact is that many suppositories contain substances that damage latex (condom material). This leads to a new infection and it is strictly forbidden to engage in anal sex with prostatitis without contraception.
3. You will need to refuse contact if there is a cancerous tumor in the prostate or stones.

Is masturbation allowed?

Based on the above material, it is clear that you must have sex during the period of remission of prostatitis. But, on the other hand, it is undesirable to change partners. And many members of the strong half of humanity are uncomfortable having sex with a new partner because of a weakened erection. Then the question arises: what should a man who does not have a wife do? The answer to such an intimate question is ambiguous:

1. Old school doctors categorically do not welcome this type of activity, linking it to the fact that in prostatitis a person should not overload the body. He was shown a good rest, peace.
2. Modern medicine dictates its rules - masturbation is useful. Indeed, with prolonged abstinence, the male reproductive system goes through atrophy. Stagnation progresses in it, against the background of which pathological disorders such as cancer, thrombosis and so on develop. In addition, stagnation of semen in the body causes infertility and complete impotence.

So, if a man has a regular partner, he can refuse to masturbate by engaging in traditional types of sex. But if there is no partner, then it is better to use self-satisfaction.

If a man is diagnosed with prostatitis, but not in the acute phase, he should not refuse sexual intercourse. But this must be done correctly and after consulting an andrologist. It is the doctor who will give specific recommendations on the frequency of actions based on the course of the disease.
