A member asked:

Can prostatitis caused by excessive ejaculation?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No .....and Yes: If you are referring to masturbation, then the answer is No. If you are referring to unprotected ejaculations with partner(s) who have a STD (sexually transmitted disease) then the answer is Yes. STD infections can result in prostatitis. Occasionally symptoms that feel like prostatitis (called "prostadynia") can occur without a active infection. A Urologist or Infectious Disease MD can clarify.
