Whether abstinence is required for tuberculous pleurisy depends on which stage of tuberculosis treatment the patient is in. Because the treatment course of TB pleurisy is about 9 months, the first 3 months is the consolidation period, patients take more drugs, liver and kidney toxicity and gastrointestinal reactions are relatively obvious, abstinence at this time is very good to actively control the infectiousness of TB disease, the functional aspects of the body. Once the patient enters the consolidation period, the patient takes relatively less drugs and the toxic side effects are obviously reduced in all aspects. At this time, if the CT of tuberculosis indicates obvious absorption, the patient is no longer infectious and can have intercourse, not necessarily strict abstinence. Therefore, whether to abstain from sex depends on the treatment situation, the presence of infectiousness and whether their own physical condition is good.
