Patients with chronic prostatitis can still engage in sexual activities while on medication. Appropriate sexual activity can be beneficial for the treatment of chronic prostatitis, helping to improve discomfort symptoms. However, sexual activities should not be too frequent. Excessive sexual activity or frequent masturbation can lead to excessive congestion of the prostate gland, worsening the symptoms of chronic prostatitis. Therefore, patients should maintain a regular and moderate sexual life during the medication period.

Do mild symptoms of chronic prostatitis need attention?

Patients with chronic prostatitis who only experience mild urinary frequency and incomplete urination do not need special treatment and can avoid using medication. However, they should pay attention to enhancing lifestyle care, maintaining a light diet, avoiding spicy and irritating food, quitting smoking and alcohol, and controlling the frequency of sexual activity. If these lifestyle care measures are not adhered to, symptoms may worsen, leading to noticeable urinary frequency, urgency, pain during urination, and pelvic pain. If the condition deteriorates further, medication will be required, such as drugs to improve discomfort during urination and antibiotics to alleviate the condition.
