Prostatitis Should Be Prohibited? The answer is no!
The main pathological changes of the prostate during inflammation are glandular hyperemia and inflammatory secretion of glandular fluid. Advocates of sexual abstinence generally believe that prostatitis is aggravated by the fact that the prostate and even the entire pelvic cavity are in a congestive state during sexual intercourse.
In fact, although people can humanely control sexual activity, they cannot prohibit sexual impulse as a normal physiological phenomenon, and congestion of the prostate and even the entire pelvic cavity caused by sexual impulse cannot be prevented.
At the same time, whether to abstain from sex during sexual impulses is also significantly different from the duration of prostate congestion.
Some studies have shown that after orgasm (ejaculation), the time for pelvic congestion to subside during a single impulse is 15 to 30 minutes.
If there is no orgasm, pelvic congestion can take up to one day to subside. This indicates that during sexual impulses, abstinence lasts much longer than incontinence and prostate congestion.
In addition, prostate fluid in semen accounts for about 1/3 of the total. During sexual ejaculation, some inflammatory secretions in the glandular fluid will also be discharged, which will also be beneficial to the alleviation and rehabilitation of inflammation. Therefore, it is not appropriate for prostatitis patients to prohibit sexual intercourse, and it should be left to nature.
In fact, the prostate itself is a secretory organ, constantly producing prostate fluid, which also requires regular discharge. This is the true secret of maintaining the prostate.
When inflammation occurs in the prostate, there can be many pathogens and inflammatory cells in the prostate fluid. If sexual activity is not carried out, the prostate fluid accumulates in the acini and cannot be expelled. Pathogens continue to multiply. Although effective medication is taken, satisfactory results are often not achieved.
"Adult men who have been unable to discharge prostate fluid for a long time or who have not ejaculated for a long time will experience a feeling of fullness in the lower abdomen and perineum, and a strong desire to discharge the fullness. If this desire cannot be satisfied, it often causes erections of the penis and congestion of the prostate due to sexual impulses, exacerbating the symptoms of chronic prostatitis.".
During sexual life, ejaculation can contract the smooth muscle of the prostate and promote the discharge of prostate fluid into the urethra, which can play a better drainage role than prostate massage.
A small number of patients have no sexual life for a long time, and over time, they become indifferent to sexual interests, even experiencing sexual apathy and various sexual dysfunction.
Be careful!!!
"Obviously reducing or abstaining from sexual activity is not beneficial for patients with chronic prostatitis. Patients should maintain a moderate sexual activity based on their age, sexual interests, and physical health, neither too frequently, nor abstinence.". For patients with combined sexual dysfunction, it is necessary to promptly go to a regular male specialist hospital for diagnosis and treatment!
