The prostate gland is very important for the human body, because it synthesizes the substance that is part of the sperm. Inflammatory processes in the prostate gland are called prostatitis. This disease affects the erection, as well as the process of urination, which in turn affects a person's emotional state. In advanced cases, prostatitis develops into a prostate adenoma, often accompanied by vasculitis or urethritis.
The onset of acute or chronic prostatitis affects the entire body of a man and first of all the organs of the urogenital system. At the same time, sex life also suffers, as in the background of the inflammatory process in the prostate gland, erectile dysfunction and problems with power can be observed.
This condition significantly reduces a man's quality of life and requires the appointment of treatment. At the same time, many patients wonder if it is possible to have sex in the treatment of prostatitis and if this will lead to the progression of the disease?
It is 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 are interested in whether it is possible to have sex with prostatitis. Experts' opinion on this issue can be divided into two categories: some support the idea of prolonged sexual abstinence, while others support the idea that one should not stop having an active sex life. In fact, prostatitis is not the cause of impotence, but the pain after orgasm forces men to give up carnal pleasures.
Of course, with an advanced form of the disease, an attempt to make love is unlikely to benefit, but with inflammation, you need to massage the prostate gland. The best massage is done from the inside, during ejaculation, since the muscles contract, which ensures the movement of the sperm. The act of ejaculation will be a great addition to the prostate massage or even its substitute, if for some reason it is impossible to massage. Also, with complete sexual abstinence, there are such negative consequences as stagnation of blood in the genitals, testosterone levels are reduced, the need for prostate activity is reduced, therefore its function is impaired. These effects further aggravate the condition and can lead to an outbreak of the disease.
But on the other hand, too frequent ejaculation can do harm. Some men, having learned that sex has a positive effect on an inflamed prostate, can start an active sex life without watching their partners too much, which will negatively affect the situation. Every female body has a specific microflora, which 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 lead to an inflammatory process. Therefore, it is good to have sex with your regular partner to reduce the risk of complications.
In the absence of a permanent partner, it is necessary to clean the sperm with the help of masturbation. Since ejaculation often occurs prematurely with prostatitis, you can start postponing the time of orgasm, temporarily stop rubbing and then repeat them again. But you should remember the precautions and do not overload an already weakened body. You can not achieve more than one ejaculation per day, but not less than one ejaculation per week.
Causes of prostatitis
There are many common forms of this disease:
- Acute prostatitis has symptoms characteristic of all inflammatory processes: chills, pain in the affected area, fever. Sometimes when urinating, whitish or colorless purulent formations come out of the canal. In some cases, acute prostatitis leads to sepsis and requires hospitalization. The cause of the disease is an infection that affects the prostate. Additional factors that affect the development of the disease:
- hypothermia;
- Irregular sex life, prolonged abstinence.
- delayed urination;
- It is not an active lifestyle.
- Diseases of the urogenital system?
- Having 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 sex). In case of exacerbation, pain occurs. Chronic prostatitis can also lead to inflammation of the bladder, as the prostate area is the focus of infection of the entire urogenital system. For the diagnosis of the disease, a sample of microorganisms is sown in a nutrient medium and microscopy of the secretion from the prostate is used. The cause of this disease is bacterial lesions of the prostate gland. There are several theories that explain the appearance of chronic prostatitis:
- The theory of chemical inflammation, according to which inflammation occurs as a result of the penetration of urine into the prostate tissues. This requires increased urinary pressure, which can be caused by obstruction in the urinary tract (for example, sperm residues).
- Immunological theory suggests that prostatitis manifests as a response to various antigens deposited in prostate tissues.
- Neurogenic theory states that neurogenic inflammation occurs under the influence of biologically active substances that are released at the nerve endings.
Treatment of prostatitis
The sooner prostatitis treatment is started, the better, so early detection of the disease is one of the key factors. In case of suspicion, it is necessary to contact a urologist, who will take samples and tests of urine and blood, as well as prescribe the appropriate treatment.
For the treatment of prostatitis, medical methods are used, the course of treatment can last up to 4 weeks:
- Use of antibiotics to suppress infection or bacterial activity.
- The use of alpha-blockers, which facilitate the course of the disease by acting on adrenergic receptors.
- The use of anti-inflammatory drugs that act on the inflammatory gland.
- The use of herbal remedies that relieve symptoms.
- hormone therapy.
In addition to medical treatment, the following methods are used:
- prostate massage;
- LOD treatment?
- Relaxation exercises?
- Physical therapy;
- Acupuncture;
- In case of exacerbation surgery is used.
