Seminal vesiculitis is a joint inflammation in the male reproductive system, which can cause various discomforts such as blood in semen, lower abdominal pain, frequent urination, and urgency.

During the treatment of seminal vesiculitis, abstinence is an important aspect, but many patients have questions about the duration of abstinence. This not only affects the effectiveness of treatment but also impacts the quality of life for patients.

So, how long should patients with seminal vesiculitis abstain?

The duration varies from person to person, mainly depending on the severity of the condition and the effectiveness of treatment:

Generally, for acute seminal vesiculitis patients, strict abstinence is recommended during the inflammatory phase.

This is because sexual activity can cause congestion of the genital organs, aggravating inflammatory reactions and prolonging the course of the disease. Typically, sexual activity can be considered only after symptoms such as blood in semen and lower abdominal pain have entirely disappeared and semen analysis results show normalcy. This process may take about 2-4 weeks.

For chronic seminal vesiculitis patients, long-term complete abstinence is not advisable.

Although it is necessary to control the frequency of sexual activity appropriately during treatment, excessive abstinence may lead to semen congestion and hinder recovery. 

Generally, it is recommended to adjust sexual activity according to individual circumstances during treatment, such as 1-2 times per week. However, it is crucial to maintain hygiene during sexual activity to prevent exacerbation of infection.

At the same time, patients should follow their doctor's advice for regular semen analysis and ultrasound examinations to assess treatment effectiveness. 

When the condition is effectively controlled, and semen analysis results return to expected, gradual resumption to average sexual activity frequency can be considered.

It is important to emphasize that the treatment of seminal vesiculitis is a comprehensive process, and abstinence is just one part of it. Patients also need to actively cooperate with medical treatment, pay attention to personal hygiene, and maintain good lifestyle habits to promote better condition recovery.

Treatment of seminal vesiculitis mainly includes medication, seminal vesicle massage, and lifestyle adjustments:

1. Medication:

Doctors will select appropriate antibiotics based on the patient's condition for treatment. Additionally, hemostatic drugs, analgesics, etc., may be used to alleviate symptoms. The therapeutic effect of Chinese herbal medicine Diuretic and Anti-inflammation Pill is often beneficial for chronic seminal vesiculitis.

2. Seminal vesicle massage:

Gentle circular or rotational massages using fingertip pressure on the seminal vesicle area. This helps promote the discharge of seminal fluid and reduces fluid accumulation. It also aids in relieving symptoms such as pain caused by seminal vesicle wall damage.

3. Lifestyle adjustments:

During treatment, patients need to rest and avoid overexertion. Pay attention to personal hygiene, keep the external genitalia clean, and wash the perineum daily, changing underwear regularly.

Prolonged sitting can lead to poor blood circulation in the perineum, exacerbating symptoms of seminal vesiculitis. Therefore, patients should avoid prolonged sitting and take breaks to move around periodically.

Moderate exercise can enhance physical fitness, boost immunity, and aid in the recovery from seminal vesiculitis. However, strenuous exercise should be avoided to prevent the condition from worsening.

Treatment takes time, and patients may experience anxiety, depression, and other emotions. Therefore, it is vital to maintain a positive attitude, actively face the disease, and build confidence in overcoming it.

In conclusion, the duration of abstinence for patients with seminal vesiculitis is not fixed. Patients should actively cooperate with medical treatment, follow the doctor's advice, and sensibly arrange periods of abstinence and sexual activity to facilitate early recovery. 

If diagnosed with prostatitis, urethritis, or other diseases, timely treatment is necessary to prevent inflammation from spreading to the seminal vesicles and worsening symptoms.
