Prostatitis and sexuality

Prostatitis most often pursues older and middle-aged men. The strong half of humanity most of all at this moment is puzzled by the question of whether it is possible to have sex with prostatitis. Another concern is the effect of the disease on reproductive functions.

Most urologists insist that sex is essential for prostatitis. Sexual life is possible with prostatitis, but it has a number of limitations.

What are the restrictions on sexual activity with prostatitis

In order to determine all the pros and cons, you need to study the symptoms of pathology.

Prostatitis is acute and chronic.

In chronic prostatitis during remission it is noted:

• mild pain in the perineal area;
• occasionally there are difficulties with the process of urine outflow;
• decreased sexual activity;
• having sex hurts.

In acute prostatitis, at the peak of exacerbation, vivid manifestations are expressed:

• acute soreness of the scrotum, groin, anus;
• difficulty with urine drainage and bowel movements;
• body temperature rises;
• potency is disturbed;
• pain during ejaculation.

The acute form of pathology occurs quite suddenly, but the disease has three stages:

• Catarrhal - the initial stage, characteristic of the inflammatory process in the connective tissue of the prostate and smooth muscles collected in acini. At this stage, the swelling of the prostate gland is manifested, its excretory ducts are narrowed. Men experience frequent urge to use the toilet due to little need. A pain syndrome appears, which radiates to the sacro-lumbar region and to the genitals. Sexual life with prostatitis with such symptoms should be discontinued until the diagnosis is clarified. This is due to the fact that this pathology can have an infectious or bactericidal onset, which can occur after sexual intercourse (not protected) with a partner. If the desire to have sex is very great, and the physical form is conducive to this, then with such prostatitis you can have sex, but only in a condom. This measure will avoid contamination of your partner.
• Follicular - the second stage of the inflammatory process of the prostate, in which more painful symptoms are noted. The processes of emptying the urea are very painful, and sometimes completely impossible. In urine, whitish filamentary sediments are noted. Defecation becomes problematic, possibly a rise in temperature. Pain in the perineum At this stage of prostatitis, sex is prohibited. Firstly, it becomes simply impossible due to pain and deterioration. With such symptoms, you should consult a urologist, find out the cause of the pathological process and get recommendations for effective, efficient treatment. If timely treatment is not started on time, the disease will move to the third stage, which is affected by prostatitis. Parenchymal - this stage is due to the effect of focal inflammation on the prostate gland, or rather its tissues. At this stage, sexual life, there is no opportunity to lead, since there is a strong throbbing pain in the perineum, anal canal, it is difficult to empty the intestines and urinary tract. Discharge from the anus appears, weakness is felt, a high temperature rises, a strong thirst is pursued, and appetite is lost. A timely visit to the attending physician will help get rid of unbearable symptoms. After that, you can have sex life. GENH2: 1 GENP: 8 GENP: 9 GENP: 10 Drug therapy Antibiotic therapy is prescribed during the acute course of inflammation of the prostate gland caused by the penetration of bacteria, viruses, harmful microorganisms. Antibiotic therapy consists of the use of drugs that belong to the penicillin group of drugs (Amoxicillin, Amoxiclav), tetracycline drugs (Doxycycline). Fluoroquinols (Rufloxacin, Levofloxacin) are prescribed. Macrolide group (Lincomycin), cephalosporins (Ceftriaxone). During antibiotic treatment, you can have sex, however, high-quality intercourse will not work, since the man's poor general condition prevails. In addition, it is possible for the partner to become infected or become infected from her with a second infection, which will delay the recovery time.
• Very often urologists in the treatment of prostatitis prescribe such a drug as Sextafag, which belongs to the group of bacteriophages. Sextafag is used as an alternative antibacterial drug when antibiotics are powerless. The drug is aimed at destroying the bacillus staphylococcus, streptococcus, as well as Pseudomonas aeruginosa and intestinal infections.
• Alpha-blockers - relax the smooth muscles of the prostate, relieve painful symptoms, eliminate the cause of impaired urine emission.
• Hormone therapy - adjuvants that normalize hormonal levels (Flutamide, Andorokur). Traditional therapy to help
• Folk remedies - medicines as auxiliary medicines (parsley, propolis, pumpkin seeds, birch bark, chestnut bark).
• Physiotherapy - usually in addition to treatment, urologists prescribe prostate massages, magnetotherapy, thermal effects, laser, ultrasound. The impact of these procedures helps to eliminate edema, relieve pain, lower the inflammatory threshold, and improve blood circulation. By the way, when treating chronic prostatitis with physiotherapy, urologists recommend having sex, since sexual intercourse is considered a useful and enjoyable set of exercises during treatment therapy.
• When all methods fail, then the specialists perform the operation, and this procedure affects sex, since it can be performed only 30-45 days after the surgery.

Existing ways of satisfaction during intercourse

You can relieve sexual tension through oral or anal sex.

During anal sex, semen is ejected. Together with the ejaculant, the stagnant prostatic fluid also comes out. During sex, microcirculation in the pelvic organs increases, while the processes of oxygen supply to the prostate are activated. For anal sex with prostatitis, a condom is used. This is the necessary protection against the penetration of infections of the anal canal into the urethral canal.

Anal sessions are alternative prostate massage sessions that can be done at home. For this, special devices are sold in pharmacies.

Men can do massage with massagers on their own or ask for help from their sexual partner, for example, a wife. The network of pharmacies offers a wide selection of massagers that are equipped with vibrators, thermostats. Massaging the prostate can also be done in clinics with the help of a specialist. This procedure is called direct massage.

There are contraindications for such a procedure - calculous prostatitis

It is better not to engage in oral sex with prostatitis, as the infection can also be transmitted through it. For example, if a man has a chlamydial or gonorrheal infection, then it can be transmitted to his partner through the oral cavity. One third of the infection is transmitted through the mouth.

Prostatitis is one of the diseases that occurs due to the penetration of an infection that can develop due to caries, sore gums, tonsillitis, stomatitis.

If a man's prostatitis does not have a bacteriological nature, then oral sex is possible as an alternative to massage therapy. Sex is an effective treatment for prostatitis. However, such treatment is possible only with a permanent sexual partner, provided that sex is protected. If a man is being treated for prostatitis caused by an infection, it is better not to tempt fate, but to consult a urologist. An experienced specialist will advise what to do in a particular case.
