Patients with chronic prostatitis experiencing painful ejaculation mainly results from the presence of the ejaculatory ducts within the prostate. When the prostate is inflamed, it leads to congestion and swelling, which compresses the ejaculatory ducts causing them to narrow. During ejaculation, due to the high pressure of ejaculation, semen passes through these narrowed ducts producing a significant pain sensation. For this condition, active treatment targeting the type of chronic prostatitis is necessary. If it is caused by bacterial infection, prompt antibiotic treatment should be administered regularly. After controlling the inflammation, the congestion and swelling of the prostate will gradually subside, and the symptoms of painful ejaculation will also alleviate. Patients with chronic prostatitis should pay attention to strengthening physical exercise, maintaining a light diet, and controlling the frequency of sexual activity to reduce prostate congestion and swelling.

How to alleviate chronic prostatitis during a flare-up by yourself

Patients with chronic prostatitis experience recurrent symptoms, primarily including frequent urination, urgency, and a sensation of incomplete emptying, along with a feeling of heaviness and pain in the perineum and anal area. Methods to alleviate these symptoms mainly involve medication, physical therapy, and enhanced daily care. In terms of medication, it is usually necessary to use a combination of antibiotics and drugs that alleviate uncomfortable urination. Physical therapy options can include warm sitz baths, prostate massage, microwave therapy, and shortwave therapy, with rectal medication administration as needed. In terms of daily care, it is important to maintain a light diet, avoid spicy and stimulating foods, quit smoking and drinking, and control the frequency of sexual activity.

Can one have sexual intercourse while taking medication for chronic prostatitis?

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.

Is chronic prostatitis secondary infection easy to treat?

Patients with chronic prostatitis who develop secondary infections need to clearly identify the pathogenic bacteria and the corresponding sensitive drugs to facilitate treatment. This can be determined through culturing the prostatic fluid and conducting sensitivity tests. Once the pathogenic bacteria and their sensitive drugs are identified, targeted and rational treatment can generally be more effectively managed. For chronic prostatitis patients, it is crucial to maintain a regular medication schedule and enhance lifestyle care, including eating a light diet, avoiding spicy and irritating foods, and regulating the frequency of sexual activity.

Can chronic prostatitis be treated with surgery if it does not heal over a long time?

Chronic prostatitis cannot be cured by surgery. Chronic prostatitis is treated with medication, not requiring any surgery. Patients can visit the urology or andrology department of their local hospital for systematic examination and treatment. First, a bacterial culture of the prostatic fluid should be conducted, along with a drug sensitivity test. Based on the results, the pathogen causing the infection and the antibiotics to which it is most sensitive can be identified, and then the sensitive antibiotics can be chosen for treatment. Patients can take warm water sitz baths every evening and regularly visit the hospital for prostate massage.

Can chronic prostatitis lead to weak ejaculation?

Patients with chronic prostatitis, if left untreated for a long time, may experience weak ejaculation and a series of sexual dysfunctions, such as impotence and premature ejaculation. Therefore, patients with chronic prostatitis should seek timely systemic examination and treatment at local hospitals' urology or andrology departments. Prostatic fluid bacterial culture along with drug sensitivity tests should be conducted. Based on the results, the pathogen and the antibiotics it is sensitive to should be identified. Then, the selected sensitive antibiotics should be used for treatment. Patients must adhere to the treatment plan prescribed by their doctor, take medications on time and in the correct amounts, and regularly return to the hospital for follow-up evaluations.
