The recovery time for young people with chronic prostatitis is not fixed, as each patient's condition is different, and so are the treatment plans, resulting in varying recovery times. Generally, recovery can occur within 1 to 2 months. Patients should first visit the urology or andrology department of their local hospital for a systematic examination. Treatment should be based on the results of this examination, using sensitive antibiotics. Treatment can also be supplemented with some traditional Chinese medicines. Additionally, patients can take warm water sitz baths every night and regularly visit the hospital for prostate massages.

Can chronic prostatitis be transmitted to the female partner during intercourse?

There are several types of chronic prostatitis, with nonbacterial prostatitis being the most common clinically. This type of prostatitis is not contagious during sexual activity, so there is no need for concern. However, chronic bacterial prostatitis can potentially be contagious, particularly when caused by Mycoplasma or Chlamydia infections. These pathogens can travel with semen into the female vagina, leading to vaginitis. Therefore, it is best for patients with prostatitis to undergo prostate fluid culture and sensitivity tests to determine the specific type, followed by targeted treatment.

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.

Why does ejaculation hurt with chronic prostatitis?

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.
