Do you know the harm of prostatitis? With more and more advertisements, prostatitis seems to be covered with a mysterious packaging. Many male friends even believe that prostatitis is a sexually transmitted disease. This has also caused delays in the treatment of many patients with prostatitis.
Can prostatitis be cured? Is prostatitis a sexually transmitted disease? Below, experts explain for you.
Some patients with prostatitis may have such concerns - is their illness considered a sexually transmitted disease? Can it be transmitted to your wife when having sex with her? Due to such concerns, some patients may choose to abstain for a long time, sleep in separate beds with their wives, and avoid intimate contact. Over time, the relationship between the husband and wife may be in crisis.
So, is there any need for such worries? Can prostatitis be transmitted to a wife through sexual activity?
It should be said that the vast majority of prostatitis is not a sexually transmitted disease. The classification method of prostatitis has been introduced earlier. Most chronic prostatitis is non bacterial prostatitis (Type III), which is not caused by pathogenic bacteria. No clear pathogenic bacteria can be found in semen or prostate fluid, so it is not infectious. Even with bacterial prostatitis, although there are pathogenic bacteria present in the patient's semen or prostate fluid, women have a strong ability to resist external bacterial infections in the vagina, so patients need not worry about transmitting the disease to their wives through sexual activity.
However, there is indeed a small proportion of complex prostatitis caused by pathogenic microorganisms such as gonococcus, mycoplasma, and chlamydia. This part of prostatitis belongs to the scope of sexually transmitted diseases, and theoretically it is possible to transmit it to women through sexual life. For these patients with prostatitis, sexual activity should be avoided, and couples should receive treatment at the same time if necessary.
Chronic prostatitis is a very confusing disease with a very high incidence rate (4%~25%). Nearly 50% of men will suffer from the effects of prostatitis symptoms at some time in their lives. Therefore, patients with prostatitis do not have to panic excessively. It is necessary to face up to the disease and achieve early detection, treatment, and recovery.
