The prostate gland is called a man’s "second heart", because it is the prostate that contributes to the preservation of erectile function and the synthesis of testosterone - the production of the main male hormone. Inflammatory organ damage is diagnosed in every tenth man, and most patients do not know the correct answer as to whether it is possible to have sex with prostatitis and how close contact works throughout the disease.
Urologists say: prolonged abstinence causes blood stasis in the prostate, which exacerbates the condition and chronicity of the disease. Still, it is impossible to answer definitively that making love with prostatitis is useful - it all depends on the degree of pathology and individual characteristics of the patient. We will address this issue in more detail below.
What is prostatitis
Prostatitis is an inflammation of the prostate gland, when the organ enlarges several times and sometimes hyperplasia is observed. The disease develops as a result of age-related changes and is combined with the following factors:
- Inguinal hypothermia - genital hypothermia;
- Hormonal imbalances;
- Abuse of bad habits;
- Effects of stress.
The first symptom of the disease is severe pain during urination, enlargement of the prostate, as a result of which a man has an inadequate sex life, which is indicated by the following characteristics:
- Persistent erectile dysfunction;
- Frequent urination;
- Prolonged nocturnal erections;
- Accelerated ejaculation;
- Decreased performance, increased fatigue;
- Sex drive decreases.
If there is no pathology, blood flows to the penis, as a result of which the organ is excited. A man sees a woman, pulls up. The affected prostate gland increases with the penis, which gives the patient discomfort, a painful sensation, therefore, erectile ability decreases, sexual intercourse is not performed.
Intimate life and prostatitis
All men after the age of 30 are at risk for prostatitis. Inflammation of the prostate is an unpleasant diagnosis, lack of treatment leads to chronic pain of a spasmodic nature in the lower abdomen, increased subfebrile values, chills, decreased erection, prostate adenoma is a benign tumor.
Opinions on intimate contact with prostatitis are divided into two strongholds, and not only patients suffering from this disease, but also doctors express their opinions. Some respondents believe that sex is necessary in the event of an illness - to maintain male function, others instead argue that sex interferes with the normal functioning of the affected organs.
References! The secretory organs produce the fluid needed for full sexual intercourse. If there is no frequent intercourse, prostate dysfunction occurs.
Prostatitis therapy involves massage. However, not all patients have the patience and massage organs regularly. Sex indicates a kind of massage therapy: during the last phase of sexual intercourse, the pelvic muscles and glands contract.
With ejaculation (ejaculation), there is an increase in the production of prostate secretions, so that sex is beneficial. But the disease differs in two types:
- Sharp;
- Chronicle.
Each form of pathology has important nuances to consider when making recommendations and prescribing.
Sex with acute prostatitis
Sex and pathological exacerbation are inappropriate concepts. The patient feels all the signs of the disease:
- Pain in the abdomen;
- Difficulty urinating or frequently;
- Painful sensation during urination;
- Burning sensation in the perineum and urethra;
- Rise of the temperature indicator;
- Common disorders.
This condition does not cause intimacy, male erectile function decreases. Moreover, if prostatitis is triggered by IMS, there is a high risk of infecting a partner with a venereal disease. In addition to prostatitis therapy, a man also needs to cure the infectious process and only have unprotected sex.
With proper treatment, the acute process takes 3 to 5 days.
Sex with chronic prostatitis
During chronic prostatitis, a male representative does not feel painful symptoms, therefore sexual intercourse is necessary and acts as a massage on the prostate gland. In addition to active sexual intercourse, one should not forget about other therapeutic measures prescribed by a doctor.
Damage to intimate relationships
Attention! Doctors do not advise to have sex in a polygamous way - to avoid complications, follow an intimate relationship with one partner.
If there is no organ work, function will be lost. Sexual abstinence causes blood stasis in the small pelvis, which leads to recurrence of the disease. If at the time of treatment there is no permanent sexual partner, the doctor recommends masturbation. Masturbation has a massaging effect, not deep, but better than a complete lack of sex - congestion in the pelvic organs is prevented.
Sometimes patients, after diagnosing the disease, begin to have sexual intercourse easily. Better organize sexual intercourse: frequent partner changes threaten the conflict of microflora, which leads to relapse.
If bacterial prostatitis is diagnosed, it is important not to make love. Sexual life leads to an increase in symptoms and causes the spread of bacteria to the urinary organs - kidneys and bladder. During ejaculation, pathogenic microorganisms, through the urethra, affect the urinary system.
Before having sex for acute bacterial prostatitis, antibiotic therapy should be started first. It is best to start a sex life after recovery - to avoid complicated situations.
The importance of sex in prostatitis
When the prostate gland is inflamed, it is necessary to make love because there is blood flow and contracting organs. During intimacy, the putrefaction process that forms during inflammation comes out. When sexual intercourse is complete, toxins enter the secretions of the prostate and are excreted along with it.
Studies show that 50% of men surveyed experience erectile dysfunction during pain, and 25% of men experience a decrease in sexual desire. Nearly 90% of respondents, at the time of diagnosis, had sex more rarely, and more than half of relationships with a woman declined or stopped altogether.
In such situations, it is recommended to use special methods to increase sexual drive.
Effects of disease on semen
Inflammation of the prostate negatively affects male reproductive function. Sperm quality deteriorates, so sometimes infertility and impotence are diagnosed due to damage to the prostate gland. The lack of attractiveness to women is seen due to a decrease in the synthesis of androgens - hormones responsible for maintaining male function.
The prostate gland is responsible for the production of sperm. However, in the presence of inflammation of the organs, ejaculatory production decreases, and in the presence of complications, aspermia is observed - the absence of sperm. It is difficult for a sick man to reach orgasm. Often patients complain of poor ejaculation, because some ejaculations do not ejaculate, but flow, and with ejaculation, the partner feels uncomfortable, burning, pain.
Sperm thickens. Infertility is characterized by a decrease in sperm count.
Note! Often, men notice a change in semen when it changes color or consistency.
prevention
If a man suffers from prostatitis, it is important to have sex in a condom until he is completely cured. With inflammation of the prostate gland, the patient's immunity decreases. Interacting with the microflora of others can exacerbate the condition. With a decrease in the body's protective function, foreign pathogenic flora conditionally enters the urethra, and then into the prostate.
Oral sex also indicates peace, as there is an accumulation of harmful bacteria and microorganisms in the oral cavity. Pathogenic microbes are safe for healthy people, but dangerous for patients with diminished immunity.
With prostatitis, it is allowed to have sex, up to the anus. However, in the acute period, abstinence is recommended - so as not to aggravate the condition.
Sex after treatment
Male diseases require mandatory treatment. Therapeutic measures depend on the severity of the pathology, the general condition of the patient. Doctors offer a variety of means - from ineffective to radical therapies - through surgery.
References! In the absence of treatment, the disease in 90% of cases progresses to inflammation of the kidneys and the formation of calculi in the urinary organs, and the risk of adenomas and prostate cancer also increases.
In further cases, the urologist prepares the patient for surgery, after which complications are rare - only in 10% of cases, and recovery is easy. After surgery, patients are advised to adhere to the following rules regarding intimacy:
- It is allowed to return to intimate life only after 3 - 4 months;
- During the adjustment period, it is important to exclude excessive physical exercise;
- The formation of the urinary process is facilitated by herbal medicine sessions.
Early sexual intercourse after surgery threatens mental disorders and potential - with a psychological background.
Postoperative sex is characterized by the absence of semen production, a gradual increase in erection. It is important for a man to have a trusting relationship with his partner, to avoid stressful situations, and it is important for a woman to provide trustworthy help to the partner, because a man without a prostate gland can feel inferior.
Sexual recovery depends on the operating technique:
- Transurethral resection - complete or partial removal of the prostate. Intimate life is recommended 30 days after surgery. After surgery, fertilization will not occur - sperm are expelled into the ureter.
- Cavity prostatectomy is a rare surgical method, often the prostate is removed through laparoscopy. But at an advanced level, this technique is being done. Sex is allowed after one and a half to two months - because of the high risk of postoperative complications.
- Laser prostatectomy is a minimally invasive technique that allows you to begin sexual intercourse a few weeks after surgery, depending on the well -being of the patient.
If a man shows signs of impotence before surgery, it is impossible to restore potency after surgery.
Prophylaxis
The most important preventative measure for prostatitis is regular sexual activity. Sex with prostate inflammation has the following positive effects:
- Uncomfortable, unpleasant sensations do not bring pleasure, but orgasm has a good effect on male potency, more easily cures disease, and relieves pain. If a man is worried about pain, the doctor advises to take an anesthetic one and a half hours before sexual intercourse.
- When diagnosing acute bacterial prostatitis, massage is categorized as a contraindication, but nothing cancels sex - make love more often to stimulate blood circulation, but do not forget about contraception - condoms.
- Having sex, you may be able to completely get rid of the process of stagnation in the pelvic organs.
References! According to statistics, in men who have a continuous sexual partner and make love at least 2 times a week, the prostate gland is rarely inflamed.
The most effective therapy for prostatitis is sexual activity. Intimacy increases blood flow to pelvic organs, including the prostate, prevents congestion, and has a beneficial effect on overall health. If a man suffers from dysfunction of the genital area, it is recommended to consult a urologist with the appearance of the first symptoms to avoid complications. The doctor will give the necessary recommendations and prescribe treatment.
Basic rules for having sex:
- Don’t ignore intimacy, but don’t have sex too often - the frequency of sexual pleasure shouldn’t be less than twice a week;
- It is important that sexual intercourse is complete - completed with ejaculation;
- If in the process there is pain, burning sensation, it is recommended not to have sex until the painful symptoms are completely eliminated;
- During therapeutic interventions, it is better to use condoms - to avoid conflicts of microflora and transmission of STIs.
