You can have no problems having sex without a prostate! It is an organ of mystery to most men. It has an important role in sexual function in that it makes semen, which is a transport medium for sperm. The muscles within the prostate are important for expelling the semen during ejaculation. The testicles make testosterone, and that hormone is responsible for sex drive or libido. Even when the prostate gland is removed, hormonal production is not affected. But the problems are there may be decreased or absent ejaculate as a consequence. The nerves that control erection travel next to the prostate, and sometimes they may be interfered with as a result of surgery. This is much more common problems as a side effect of treatment for prostate cancer than for BPH. Special care can be taken to preserve the nerves in many men with prostate cancer requiring surgical removal.
Sometimes prostatitis is caused by a sexually transmitted organism, such as chlamydia. However, most cases of prostatitis are caused by infections that cannot identified in lab prostate test. These prostate infections can be passed on to sexual partners, so it will cause problems in sex partner.
Factors that can increase your risk of developing prostatitis include:
A recent urinary tract infection (UTI).
Insertion of a urinary catheter or having a cystoscopy.
Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Injury, such as from riding a bicycle or horse.
If you have had chronic bacterial prostatitis, you have an increased chance of developing the prostate problem again.
You may be able to prevent prostate problems such as prostatitis.
Practice good hygiene, and keep your penis clean.
Drink enough fluids to cause regular urination.
Seek early treatment of a possible urinary tract infection to avoid further prostate problems.
Although prostatitis problems can cause you discomfort, it does not cause cancer. Some prostate doctors use a blood test called the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) to test for prostate cancer. If you have prostatitis, your PSA level might go up. This does not mean you have cancer. Your prostate doctor will treat your prostatitis and may check your PSA level again.
Men with prostate problems who have gone through various types of prostate surgery are often encouraged to do pelvic floor muscle exercises to help strengthen the muscles of their pelvic floor. Pelvic floor muscles support both the bladder and the bowel and stretch from one side of the pelvis to the other.
Pelvic floor muscle exercises (also known as Kegel exercises) may help prostate problems that it control the bladder and prevent urine leaking. It may be helpful for men to learn these exercises before prostate surgery so that they are familiar with them. These prostate exercises are generally recommended after prostate surgery because the muscles that control opening and closing of the bladder (urinary sphincter) can be affected during operations on the prostate and may cause a string of prostate problems. This is especially true after a radical prostatectomy.
Finding pelvic floor muscles can be done while urinating by tightening up and trying to stop urine flow. Pulling up or lifting the muscles of the rectum (back passage) can sometimes help. The correct muscles are found once urine flow is stopped. It should feel like the muscles are pulling inward and upward. To exercise pelvic floor muscles, tighten the pelvic floor muscles for up to a count of five, and then let them go and relax for ten seconds. Repeat the exercise 5 to 15 times. This exercise set should be done 3 to 5 times a day to prevent prostate problems. These exercises should NOT be done while urinating as this can make the bladder keep hold of urine and increase the chance of an urinary tract infection and prostate problems.
