The prostate gland is very important for the human body because it synthesizes the substance that makes up sperm. Inflammatory processes in the prostate gland are called prostatitis. This disease affects the erection as well as the urination process, which in turn affects a person’s emotional state. In advanced cases, prostatitis progresses to a prostate adenoma, often accompanied by vasculitis or urethritis.
The onset of acute or chronic prostatitis affects the entire body of the man and, above all, the organs of the genitourinary system. At the same time, sex life is also suffering, as erectile dysfunction and potency problems are observed against the background of an inflammatory process in the prostate gland.
This condition significantly reduces the quality of life of men and requires the appointment of therapy. At the same time, many patients ask themselves, is sex possible in the treatment of prostatitis and will it lead to disease progression?
Is it possible to have sex with prostatitis
Since young people can get prostatitis and not just retirees and are full of strength and energy, then of course they wonder if it is possible to have sex with prostatitis. Expert opinion on this issue can be divided into two categories: some support the idea of prolonged sexual abstinence, while others support the idea that an active sex life should not be stopped. In fact prostatitis is not the cause of impotence, but the pain after orgasm forces men to give up carnal pleasures.
Of course, in the advanced form of the disease, an attempt at love is unlikely to bring benefit, but with inflammation, the prostate gland should be massaged. The best massage is done from the inside, during the ejaculation act, as the muscles contract, which ensures the movement of the sperm. The act of ejaculation would be a perfect addition to prostate massage or even a substitute for it, if for some reason it is impossible to massage. Also, during complete sexual abstinence, there are negative consequences such as blood stagnation in the genitals, decreased testosterone levels, decreased need for prostate activity, so its function disappears. These results aggravate the situation and may exacerbate the disease.
But on the other hand, too frequent ejaculation can cause harm. Some men, when they hear that sex has a positive effect on the inflamed prostate gland, can start an active sex life without excessive listening to their partners, which will negatively affect the situation. Every woman's body has a special microflora that may not be compatible with the male microflora. In addition, it can be a carrier of infectious or fungal disease, so unprotected sex can only cause an inflammatory process. It is therefore advisable to fall in love with your regular partner to reduce the risk of any complications.
In the absence of a permanent partner it is necessary to clean the testicles with the help of masturbation. Since ejaculation often occurs prematurely during prostatitis, you can begin to delay the moment of orgasm, temporarily stop the friction, and then resume them. But you need to remember the precautions and do not overload the already weakened body. You can not achieve more than one ejaculation per day, but at least 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 whitish or colorless purulent growths come out of the canal during urination. In some cases, acute prostatitis causes sepsis and requires hospitalization. The cause of the disease is an infection that affects the prostate. Additional factors that influence the development of the disease:
- Hypothermia;
- Irregular sex life, prolonged abstinence;
- Delayed urination;
- Not an active lifestyle;
- Diseases of the genitourinary system;
- Having bad habits.
- In addition, chronic prostatitis is common. The disease can occur without symptoms or without aggravation (there are mild problems with urination and during sex). In case of aggravation there is pain. Also, chronic prostatitis can cause inflammation of the bladder, since the prostate area is the focus of infection of the entire genital tract. To diagnose the disease, a sample of microorganisms is sown in food medium and microscopy of the prostate secretion is also used. The cause of this disease is bacterial damage to the prostate gland. There are many theories that explain the emergence of chronic prostatitis:
- The theory of chemical inflammation, according to which inflammation occurs as a result of urine penetrating into the tissues of the prostate gland. This requires an increase in urinary pressure, which can be caused by obstructions in the urethra (e. g. , sperm waste).
- Immune theory suggests that prostatitis is manifested in response to various antigens that are deposited in prostate tissues.
- Neurogenic theory states that neurogenic inflammation occurs under the influence of biologically active substances that are secreted at the nerve endings.
Treatment of prostatitis
The earlier you start treatment for prostatitis the better, so early detection of the disease is one of the main factors. In case of doubt it is necessary to contact a urologist, who will take urine and blood samples and analysis, as well as prescribe appropriate treatment.
Medical methods are used to treat prostatitis, the course of which can be extended up to 4 weeks:
- Use of antibiotics to suppress infection or bacterial activity.
- Use of alpha-blockers, which promote the course of the disease by acting on adrenergic receptors.
- Use of anti-inflammatory drugs that act on the inflamed gland.
- Use herbal remedies that relieve symptoms.
- Hormone therapy.
In addition to medical treatment, the following methods are used:
- Prostate massage;
- LOD therapy;
- Soothing exercises;
- ზიIsiotherapy;
- Acupuncture;
- In case of exacerbation, surgical intervention is used.
