Prostatitis is one of the more common male diseases, and it also causes great damage to men's bodies. However, when many men learn about prostatitis, they are afraid of treatment due to human feelings, or even afraid of telling their partner. So, can you have sex if you have prostatitis?
Can I have sex if I have prostatitis?
In general, male patients who have been suffering from prostatitis for a long time have varying degrees of erectile dysfunction. This is caused by long-term inflammation stimulating cell tissue, leading to secretory nervous system disorders and abnormal sexual autonomic nerves. Men's sexual function can be divided into three aspects, one is erectile function, the other is ejaculation function, and the third is sexual desire. If there is a problem in any area, it will be unacceptable to male patients.
Men's sexual desire also largely depends on their psychological state, which is why some patients with chronic prostatitis will experience a severe decrease in sexual desire. Most patients do not understand the disease. Incorrect diagnosis makes patients mistakenly believe that their illness is serious, leading to anxiety, depression and other negative emotions, which directly affects men's sexual ability. Therefore, the sexual desire of prostatitis patients will be reduced, affecting men's sexual function.
Experts remind: Prostatitis will affect sexual life. Erectile function is essentially related to the hematoma of the male genitals and has no connection with the male prostate itself. Therefore, prostatitis and erectile function have little impact. Male ejaculation does not refer to a simple stage in the reproductive process. Inflammation caused by prostatitis can affect the male's ejaculation function and cause problems with the male's ejaculation function, which in turn affects the male's sexual function.
Symptoms of prostatitis Prostatitis is divided into subacute prostatitis and chronic prostatitis.
The clinical symptoms of acute prostatitis vary according to different pathological types and different infection methods. Catarrhal and follicular prostatitis may have no active symptoms, while actual prostatitis has typical systemic symptoms and local symptoms. People with blood circulation infections have a sudden onset of symptoms, with symptoms of systemic subacute infection or sepsis. Prostatitis caused by urinary tract infection often causes obvious urinary symptoms. Diseases can generally be divided into five categories.
(1) Systemic symptoms: symptoms of fatigue, weakness, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, high fever, chills, physical exhaustion or sepsis. When the disease suddenly occurs, systemic symptoms may cover up some of the symptoms.

(3)(3) Urinary tract symptoms: burning pain during urination, inability to hold in urine, frequent urination and urgency, urinary dribbling and purulent urethral discharge. Edema of the bladder and neck can cause difficulty in urination, thin or discontinuous urinary rheology, and urinary retention in severe cases.
(4) (4) Rectal symptoms: distension of the duodenum, urgency and pain during defecation, and white discharge from the urethra orifice during defecation.
