Brief Answer:
OK to have sex
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for contacting HCM
You are concerned about the effect on your sex life after having discovered a small shrunken prostate. The prostate is not essential for sex. It does provide some mucus for the semen but it is not required.
If there is damage to the nerves around the prostate that may impact your ability to have sex.
If you can still get and maintain an erection then you should be able to have regular sex without difficulties.
I hope I answered your question. Please contact HCM again with your health care concerns and questions
