Are Intercourse And Masturbation Prohibited When Diagnosed With Prostatitis?
Not prohibited, unless the cause of prostatitis is a STD
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for using HCM,
I read carefully your query,
I'm sorry to hear that you have had prostatitis, because it will need a long course of antibiotics. I wish it will heal completely, as it does.
--Yes, do not worry. Intercourse nor masturbation are not prohibited during prostatitis. Pain during the activity might happen though, and that is a sign to slow down, because it may interfere with the enjoyment of the sexual activity.
--If the cause of your prostatitis is a sexually transmitted disease, then you should avoid sexual activity, not because it makes makes worse the condition, but because even your partner should be treated, and you should stop sexual activity to not give each other the infection for which you are treated.
Hope this is helpful. Let me know if you have further questions.
Take care.
