Men who have been diagnosed with prostate inflammation wonder if it is possible to have sex with prostatitis? But before you get an answer, you need to understand the type of disease, and what can cause it.
Prostatitis is an inflammation of the prostate gland in men. Often, the cause of inflammation is a bacterial infection that has entered the prostate through the urethra. However, for inflammation to take effect, sometimes one infection is not enough. Prostate disease can be triggered by the following factors:
- work related to continuous sitting, hypodynamic lifestyle;
- stool disorders, in the form of frequent constipation;
- frequent hypothermia;
- lack of intimacy for a long time or excessive amount;
- obesity, overeating, excessive alcohol intake, smoking, spicy foods, constant stress;
The prostate is a gland measuring 3 by 4 centimeters and weighing up to 25 grams. It secretes a secretion that has a bacterial effect. Therefore, it is believed that inflammation occurs most often with congestion in the organ, when its function is impaired and the secretion loses its properties. It is at this point that the infection is connected, which worsens the picture. But how to deal with congestion so as not to trigger the development of the disease?
Expert opinion
Not long ago, doctors concluded that sex can be considered the best medicine you can think of in the treatment of prostatitis and for its prevention. Experts, today, increasingly agree that with prostatitis it is possible and necessary to have sex, and this is very useful.
During sexual intercourse, with the onset of orgasm, there is an active and strong contraction of the prostate muscle. It turns out to be a kind of massage, which increases blood flow to the glands. And this has a positive effect on his condition, eliminates the cause of the disease, and shortens the recovery time.
Prostatitis should not be considered a sexually transmitted disease, as it is a purely male pathology. But, if the inflammation is caused by any bacteriological infection, then during sexual intercourse, it is worth using a condom so as not to transmit pathogenic microbes to the partner.
Also, you can’t stop having sex while you’re sick. Abstinence for prostate inflammation can even be dangerous, because due to the secretory stagnation produced by the gland, complications can develop. In addition, abstinence can cause swelling of the glands and the formation of blood clots caused by blood stasis.
Sex treatment
When a man has unpleasant symptoms that question his masculine strength, he may experience depression. She experienced irritability, excessive restlessness, disturbed appetite, she stopped feeling needed. Also, a man begins to suffer from insomnia, there is a lack of sexual desire.
A woman in such a situation should not set aside, but be as discreet as possible, help a man and do not let him get sick with all his thoughts. Only in this case, it is possible to restore a harmonious sexual relationship.
Since there is undeniable evidence of the beneficial effects of sexual intercourse on the treatment of glandular inflammation, it is important to do it right, without harming the body. Therefore, one should not rush to excess. Everything should be simple. Having sex during treatment should not be elevated to a priority position. However, the primary treatment should be medication, and this method should play a supportive role.
To get rid of the disease effectively, you should listen to the recommendations:
- First, sex with prostatitis must be regular. The problem cannot be solved if you have intimacy only 1 or 2 times a month. But even daily "procedures" can trigger the exacerbation of the disease. According to doctors, the value of gold is important in this regard, depending on the age of the man and his state of health. On average, the frequency of intercourse that applies to all ages is 2-3 times a week. Oral sex, so as not to bring a new infection to yourself or your partner, can only be done with a condom.
- Second, during the treatment of prostatitis, it is forbidden to change sexual partners, because the body becomes weak, and the likelihood of new infections increases, due to the possible entry of new microflora into the reproductive system. It may contain pathogens whose antibodies have not yet been developed, and because inflammation is already present, this can be dangerous.
- Third, those who do not have a permanent partner for intimacy, or those who do not have one at all (single men), are advised not to engage in casual relationships and not to wait for a halt that can lead to illness. The only way out of this situation is to masturbate. Although this method, for unknown reasons, is considered something reprehensible in society, it is capable of eliminating stagnant glands. Masturbation also helps to disperse the stagnant blood in the pelvic organs, and the glands, thanks to this procedure, receive the necessary massage. But, like the frequency of sexual intercourse, masturbation should not be done excessively. The usual mode of self-satisfaction is 2-3 times a week.
- Fourth, the practice of interruptus intercourse should be avoided, as it contributes to a slow outflow of blood from the male genitalia, as a result, small capillary rupture appears in the penis and blood thickens in the prostate.
Acute prostatitis and sex
In acute prostatitis, a man feels severe pain in the lower abdomen, as well as pain that radiates to the genitals and perineum. At the same time, body temperature can rise to 39 degrees, and in severe cases even higher.
Pain is chased not only when emptying the bladder, but also during rest. Therefore, in such a situation, the patient is unlikely to desire intimacy.
But if you arrange efficient treatment, then after a few days the patient may feel better. Only after that, it is recommended to relieve stagnation, treatment of prostatitis with sex.
Additional Treatment Measures
In addition to regular sex, it is recommended to use a set of permitted physical exercises (you do not need to pull the "iron" in the gym), to avoid congestion in the prostate organs:
- Easy to do this exercise anywhere: at work, in transport, driving, lying in bed at home, etc. To do this, you need to take a deep breath and inflate your abdomen. After holding your breath for 10-12 seconds, exhale (by stomach). In this case, it is necessary to pull the abdomen as much as possible, so that it, as it were, "reaches" to the spine. You need to repeat 3 to 7 times. During the day, you need to do 3 sets.
- Just like the first, the exercise does not require a special place, and it can be done in any position: sitting, lying down or standing. The essence lies in the fact that you need to forcibly withdraw the anus and remain in this position for 7-10 seconds. This needs to be done three times, and during the day - several approaches.
- Next exercise: stand up straight, shift your weight to your left leg, and swing your right leg back and forth. Start with 40 swings and raise up to 100. Do the same for the left leg. Also, it is recommended to do exercise 3 times a day.
- Stand, leaning left and right alternately, up to 30 times in one direction.
- This exercise is very important because it stretches the hip adductor. It should do a straight split, make sure you insure with your hands, and stretch your legs sideways to maximum distance. No need to sit on the floor. The main thing at the lowest point is to set for 20-30 seconds. Each time you should try to spread your legs wider.
- Sit on the floor with legs extended forward, step buttocks forward and then backward. Each back should step 30 to 50 times.
- Lie on your back, lift your pelvis, bend your spine, place your head on the floor. Lock in this position for 10 seconds. Repeat 10 times.
- This exercise is known to everyone since kindergarten and it is called "boat". To perform it, you need to lie on your stomach and place your hands behind your head. Bend your back while lifting the legs and chest straight so that the support only stays on the abdomen. It is necessary to linger in this position until the moment of fatigue begins. Repeat 3 times.
- Lie on your back on the ball. Roll the ball for 5 minutes, adjust the body pressure on it with your hands.
- Sit on the floor with your legs straight, trying to reach your feet with your hands. If possible, hold your finger. Hold this position for 10 seconds. You need to spend 3-5 minutes a day for this exercise.
- Training from the school year - "birch". Support your lower back with your hands and place your head on the floor, lift your legs up. Hold for a few seconds (with increasing pressure, this exercise should not be done).
- The last exercise is a deep squat, with the legs open shoulder -width apart. Squats must be done slowly, and the number should be from 5 to 7.
prevention
For the prevention of prostatitis, especially for at -risk men (office workers with sedentary work, as well as those who work in cold or humid environments and are prone to hypothermia, long -distance drivers, etc. ), it is recommended to follow some rules:
- For men of any age, physical activity is very important. A visit to the gym is not required, but recommended. If you have an inactive job, then you need to set aside time each day for walking or jogging. This will increase blood circulation in the pelvis and reduce the chances of stagnation;
- as noted above, sex plays an important role in the prevention and treatment of disease. Ordinary measurable sexual intercourse is important without distortion and exaggeration;
- it is necessary to eat foods that are beneficial for the body as a whole and for the prostate. The diet should include: fish and meat (low-fat varieties), vegetables and fruits, dairy products, compotes, juices and honey, as well as a variety of seafood. You should reject or limit the use of alcohol, carbonated beverages, onions and garlic, peppers and mushrooms.
- hypothermia is also a factor that triggers the development of prostate inflammation, which should be avoided. Avoid exposure to drafts and wear warm clothing;
- stress and excessive work cause a decrease in immunity, and as a result, the body’s defenses are diminished. It is necessary to maintain good sleep and avoid nervous situations;
- good and refreshing effect has a contrast shower. This procedure boosts immunity and improves blood circulation;
- frequent visits to a urologist can detect the disease at an early stage. It is easier to treat a disease that is just beginning than a pathology that has already developed. If a man has previously been diagnosed with prostatitis, then it is advisable to come for a second examination every 3 months, in the first year. In subsequent years, it is enough to visit a urologist once every six months.
Therefore, prevention is an important condition for keeping men’s health in shape. An important condition for prevention is also an orderly sexual life. According to statistics, men who have sex at least 2 times a week (with a regular partner) get prostatitis less often by 60%.
