Is it possible to have sex with a prostate?

People with prostate have doubts whether it is okay to have sex. This is a sensitive question to be resolved. From this article you will learn how an intimate relationship affects illness, as well as how much sex you can have and when it is forbidden.

The prostate gland undergoes inflammatory processes in more than half of men, so the topic of sex with the prostate is very important. Moreover, the pathology is accompanied not only by painful urination, but also by impaired sexual functions (decreased lust and potency).

Effect of sex on the prostate

More often than not, men believe it is impossible to have sex with prostate disease. But this is a misconception, because sexual contact has the most beneficial effect on potency and healing processes.

Prostatitis is known to result from lack of sex and overload. This is due to the fact that secretion is released during ejaculation, as a result of which the amount of testosterone (male sex hormone) produced increases. In addition, regular relationships have the following effect:

• prostate fluid is actively produced;
• restores blood circulation to the prostate gland;
• semen removes decay products from the inflamed area;
• improves cell and tissue nutrition, due to active blood supply;
• prostate is massaged against the background of muscle contraction;
• pain syndrome decreases;
• erectile function has been improved.

In acute form

When prostatitis is acute, medications do not recommend sexual intercourse. The reason for this is the strong pain that will intensify during intercourse and ejaculation. In addition, the pain is also felt at rest. And man will not get pleasure during the period of deterioration.

For chronic form

In the case of a chronic course of the disease, on the contrary, sexual intercourse is indicated. Furthermore, sex should be as regular as possible. Pain during this period does not appear, the person experiences pleasant sensations.

The only drawback is the weakening of the erection. But this can be fixed if you follow all the recommendations of experts. And especially in terms of psychological aspects. Because against this background, the husband avoids contact with his wife, and this leads to the development of new stagnant phenomena. As a result, the disease progresses with a new force.

But it is also not recommended to have excessive sex, as the inflamed prostate can not withstand significant loads. Therefore, you must adhere to the golden mean.

Sex after therapy

If prostatitis was not at an advanced stage, then conservative methods are sufficient for treatment. In this case, after a full recovery, the intimate life is improving on its own. But if radical methods of therapy are used - removal of the prostate gland - then you will need to adhere to these rules to resume sexual intercourse:

• intimate life can resume 30-50 days after surgery;
• excludes physical activity during rehabilitation;
• it is advisable to perform physiotherapy procedures;
• you should visit a psychotherapist to restore the psycho-emotional background.

Predicting the return of male strength depends mainly on the surgical method used:

• after transurethral surgery in 90 cases out of 100, power is restored, but it becomes impossible to conceive a child, as ejaculation is performed in the bladder;
• after open prostatectomy intimate life is improving;
• if the prostate gland is removed with a laser, sex life is also restored.

When a man had complete impotence before surgery, erectile function does not fully recover after surgery.

When is it forbidden to have sex with a prostate?

As mentioned above, it is forbidden to have sex during an exacerbation of the disease, as a man will experience unbearable pain, and the symptoms that appear will worsen.

But there are other situations in which sex has a negative impact:

1. The bacterial type of acute prostatitis leads to the spread of the inflammatory process to other organs of the small pelvis, the kidneys. In addition, there is a risk of infecting the partner. For these reasons, complete abstinence is required until the moment of recovery.
2. Presence of female diseases in the partner, especially bacterial forms.
3. If there is no ejaculation during intercourse. The sperm produced by the prostate gets stuck in the organ, which worsens the patient's condition.
4. When women change often. The fact is that each person has their own genital microflora, to which the male body must adapt. If you change it constantly, then the prostate becomes aggravated and complicated - the inflammatory process does not allow you to pass quickly.
5. Very frequent contact leads to increased stress on the prostate gland.
6. Interrupted sex. In this case, the prostate is not completely emptied, and sperm residues contribute to the multiplication of pathogenic microorganisms.
7. Inflammatory processes in the seminal tubercles and bladder - pain will be present.
8. An abscess in the prostate leads to blood poisoning, as the capsule may explode and pus will enter the bloodstream.
9. Presence of stones in the prostate (they will damage tissues and blood vessels).
10. The formation of a cyst is dangerous from its rupture and internal bleeding.

How often is it recommended to have sex for the prostate?

During intimate mating, the prostate produces ejaculate, which contains many nutrients that saturate the male genitals. After ejaculation, semen begins to be synthesized again, so sex must be present in the life of a patient with prostate. But how many should there be? In fact, there are no standard standards, so every man is obliged to have sex as many times as he did before the illness. But it should not be less than 3 or 4 times a week.

Psychological aspect

A disease such as prostatitis often leads to cooling of feelings in a married couple because a man's power decreases. Against this background, he begins to fear intimate relationships, which affect the psychological state.

Persistent fear significantly weakens libido, speeds up the ejaculation process and reduces shrinkage. To prevent this from happening, the husband and his partner themselves need to tune in to a positive outcome. A woman is obliged to enjoy her husband and not to stop having sex with him. Otherwise, the man will give priority not to sex, but to other activities - he will find a new hobby, will start drinking alcohol, which will affect even worse the inflamed prostate and psychological background.

This leads to pathology progression, external nervousness and even aggression, and stagnant ejaculate will cause nocturnal emissions. If a couple can no longer cope with psychological problems on their own, they will need to seek help from a specialist - a sexologist, psychotherapist or psychologist. Medical help from such doctors is also needed in cases where a man does not have a permanent partner who will treat the problem with understanding.

You can go to a sexologist yourself, but it is best if your wife also visits her because the specialist will teach her the correct behavioral tactics.

Contraception for prostate

A prostate condom should always be in a married couple's bedroom. This is due to the fact that the microflora of women with prostate inflammation can have a negative effect, as it contains pathogenic microbes with the condition that easily penetrate into the urethral canal and gland.

Contraception is used not only for normal sex, but also for oral, anal sex, because microorganisms are also present in the oral cavity and rectum, and in large quantities. These bacteria exert a strong microbial load that the reproductive system cannot withstand.

Anal sex with prostate

It is not forbidden to have anal intercourse with the prostate gland. Therefore, you can do this safely with a woman. If we talk about representatives of non-traditional orientation, then a sick man, being passive, can also be involved in anal sex. Moreover, this process promotes prostate massage. But you should know that massage with genitals through the rectum does not have a strong therapeutic effect, unlike massage performed with the finger of a qualified specialist.

When anal sex is contraindicated:

1. The patient should monitor the condition of the prostate - if the symptoms start to intensify, then anal stimulation will have to be abandoned because the inflamed gland becomes irritated and swollen.
2. If a man uses rectal suppositories for treatment, anal intercourse is contraindicated. The fact is that many suppositories contain substances that damage the latex (condom material). This leads to a new infection and it is strictly forbidden to have anal sex with the prostate without contraception.
3. You will need to refuse contact if there is a cancerous tumor on the prostate or stones.

Is masturbation allowed?

Based on the above material, it is clear that it is necessary to have sex during the prostate remission period. But, on the other hand, it is undesirable to change partners. And many representatives of the strong half of humanity are embarrassed to have sex with a new partner because of a weakened erection. The question then arises: what should a man who has no wife do? The answer to such an intimate question is unclear:

1. Old-school doctors categorically do not welcome this type of activity, linking it to the fact that with prostatitis, a person should not stretch the body. He is shown good rest, peace.
2. Modern medicine dictates its own rules - masturbation is beneficial. Indeed, with prolonged abstinence, the male reproductive system suffers atrophy. Stagnation progresses in it, against the background of which pathological disorders such as cancer, thrombosis, etc. develop. In addition, sperm retention in the body causes infertility and total impotence.

Thus, if a man has a regular partner, he may refuse to masturbate, engaging in traditional types of sex. But if there is no partner, then it is better to use self-satisfaction.

If a man is diagnosed with prostate but not in the acute phase, he should not refuse sexual intercourse. But this should be done correctly and necessarily after consultation with the curative andrologist. It is the doctor who will give specific recommendations on the frequency of action, based on the course of the disease.
