Introduction: We all know that prostatitis is the most common disease in the male urogenital system, mainly referring to acute and chronic inflammation caused by prostate specific and non specific infections, resulting in systemic or local symptoms. Is prostatitis contagious? We are ambiguous about this. Let's take a look together:
Can male prostatitis infect after all?
The main pathogenic bacteria are Escherichia coli, which can be asymptomatic or have significant symptoms. Symptoms include urgency, frequent urination, pain in urination, and often aversion to cold and fever.
Is prostatitis an infectious disease? First of all, it is necessary to clarify which type of chronic prostatitis you have. In clinical practice, the vast majority of chronic prostatitis cannot be identified as pathogenic bacteria, that is, it belongs to non bacterial prostatitis. For this type of chronic inflammation, it will not be transmitted to the woman. Even if bacterial infection is detected, it belongs to non specific bacterial prostatitis, because the woman has a strong ability to resist external bacterial infections in the vagina, Therefore, there is no need to worry about the wife being infected.
"We know that most prostatitis is an inflammatory disease, and only a small proportion of chronic prostatitis in clinical practice is caused by bacteria, or by gonococcal, mycoplasma, or chlamydial infections, which is known as clinically specific prostatitis.". "For these infectious factors, there is a certain degree of infectivity in the early stages of the disease, so it is possible to transmit the infected bacteria to the woman during sexual life, causing specific vaginitis.".
Prostatitis is not transmitted between couples
With more and more patients suffering from prostatitis, we are more and more concerned about whether prostatitis can be transmitted between husband and wife. We all know that prostatitis can be divided into acute prostatitis and chronic prostatitis. Prostatitis is a male disease with a high incidence rate at present and should be treated in time.
Prostatitis is a common disease, with approximately 50% of men suffering from prostatitis for various reasons during their lifetime. In daily life, many patients with prostatitis dare not have sex and are afraid of transmitting it to their partners.
In fact, prostatitis is not contagious between couples. The prostate gland is physiologically involved in semen formation, and is not related to sexual function, renal function, or sexually transmitted diseases. Patients with prostatitis should adhere to treatment to prevent recurrence. Before performing a routine examination of prostate fluid, it is important to pay attention not to stay up late or sit for a long time the previous night, nor to eat spicy and stimulating food, nor to drink alcohol. These factors can cause prostate congestion and increase in white blood cells, leading to abnormalities in the routine examination of prostate fluid.
Whether prostatitis can be transmitted or not depends on the characteristics of the disease, depending on whether it is an inflammatory disease. Regardless of this issue, prostate massage can be considered in the daily care of patients with prostatitis. However, massage requires certain skills, and patients or non urological surgeons are advised not to operate without authorization. Married men can maintain a regular lifestyle and excrete more fully.
