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 prostate. This disease affects the erection as well as the urination process, which in turn affects a person's emotional state. In advanced cases, prostatitis turns into prostate adenoma, often the disease is accompanied by vasculitis or urethra.
The onset of acute or chronic prostatitis affects the entire body of a man, and above all, the organs of the genitourinary system. At the same time, sex life also suffers, as against the background of the inflammatory process in the prostate gland, erectile dysfunction and potency problems 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 wonder if it is possible to have sex in the treatment of prostatitis and if it will lead to disease progression?
Is it possible to have sex with the prostate
Since prostatitis can affect young people 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 prostate. 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 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 bodily pleasures.
Of course, with an advanced form of the disease, an attempt to make love is unlikely to benefit, but with inflammation, the prostate gland must be massaged. The best massage is performed from the inside, during the act of ejaculation, as the muscles contract, which ensures the movement of the sperm. The act of ejaculation will be a great addition to prostate massage or even its replacement, 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, lowers testosterone levels, decreases the need for prostate activity, so its function fades. These consequences further aggravate the situation and can lead to a worsening of the disease.
But on the other hand, too frequent ejaculation can do harm. Some men, after learning that sex has a positive effect on the inflamed prostate, can start an active sex life without seeing their partners too much, which will negatively affect the situation. Every female body has a unique microflora, which may not be compatible with the male microflora. In addition, it can be a carrier of an infectious or fungal disease, so unprotected sex can only lead to an inflammatory process. Therefore, it is advisable to make love with your regular partner in order to reduce the risk of any complications.
In the absence of a permanent partner, it is necessary to clean the seminal ducts with the help of masturbation. Since ejaculation often occurs prematurely with the prostate, you can begin to delay the moment of orgasm, temporarily stop rubbing, and then resume them again. But you need to remember the precautions and 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 several common forms of this disease:
- Acute prostatitis has symptoms characteristic of all inflammatory processes: chills, pain in the affected area, fever. Sometimes white or colorless purulent formations emerge from the duct during urination. 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 influencing 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 slight problems with urination and during sex). In case of deterioration, pain appears. Also, chronic prostatitis can lead to inflammation of the bladder, as the prostate area is the focus of infection of the entire genitourinary tract. To diagnose the disease, a sample of microorganisms is planted in a nutrient medium and a secret microscope from the prostate is also used. The cause of this disease are bacterial lesions of the prostate gland. There are various theories that explain the occurrence of chronic prostatitis:
- The theory of chemical inflammation, according to which inflammation occurs as a result of the penetration of urine into the tissues of the prostate gland. This requires an increase in urine pressure, which can be caused by obstruction in the urinary tract (for example, sperm residues).
- Immunity theory suggests that prostatitis appears in response to various antigens that are deposited in prostate tissue.
- Neurogenic theory states that neurogenic inflammation occurs under the influence of biologically active substances that are released at nerve endings.
Treatment of prostatitis
The sooner treatment for prostatitis begins, the better, so early detection of the disease is one of the key factors. In case of doubt, 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 of which can last up to 4 weeks:
- Use of antibiotics to suppress infection or bacterial activity.
- Use of alpha-blockers, which facilitate the course of the disease by acting on adrenergic receptors.
- Use of anti-inflammatory drugs that act on the inflamed gland.
- Use of herbal remedies to relieve symptoms.
- hormone therapy.
In addition to medical treatment, the following methods are used:
- prostate massage;
- LOD therapy;
- Relaxing exercises;
- Physical therapy;
- Acupuncture;
- In case of deterioration, surgical intervention is used.
