Prostatitis is a very troublesome thing, and many patients with prostatitis have this question in their hearts: can prostatitis be transmitted? Many patients with prostatitis are afraid of infecting their closest friends, so if a man has prostatitis, will it be transmitted? Below, the editor will introduce in detail whether male prostatitis can lead to female diseases.
Firstly, it is important to clarify which type of chronic prostatitis you are suffering from. In clinical practice, the vast majority of chronic prostatitis cannot be detected for pathogenic bacteria, which means it belongs to non bacterial prostatitis. For this type of chronic inflammation, it will not be transmitted to the female partner. Even if bacterial infection is detected, it means it belongs to non-specific bacterial prostatitis, Due to the woman's strong ability to resist external bacterial infections in the vagina, there is no need to worry about her wife being infected.
However, there is another situation where a small proportion of chronic prostatitis in clinical practice is caused by trichomonas or fungi, or by infections with Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Mycoplasma, and Chlamydia, also known as 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 female partner during sexual activity, causing specific vaginitis. The current reality is that the incidence of prostatitis caused by these factors is also constantly increasing. Therefore, for chronic prostatitis caused by these factors, sexual activity should be avoided in the early stages of treatment. If it is suspected that the woman has been infected or is the source of infection, both husband and wife should take medication for treatment.
Furthermore, for chronic prostatitis caused by these pathogenic factors, due to the clear etiology and targeted drug treatment, the effect is ideal. The general treatment period is about 20 days, and most pathogenic bacteria can be killed. At this time, relevant infection bacteria cultivation is carried out, which often turns negative. At this point, although the pathogenic bacteria are killed, the pathological changes in the prostate may still exist, so inflammation can continue to exist. But even if you have sex at this time, as the pathogenic bacteria have disappeared, you will not be infected again. Please rest assured!
The above is a detailed introduction about "Can male prostatitis lead to female illness". Many male friends have irregular sexual activities, which can lead to long-term treatment of prostatitis and is very annoying. Patients with prostatitis should maintain a regular and moderate sexual activity. Having sex two to three times a week is helpful for the drainage of prostatitis and is also very beneficial for the recovery of prostatitis. After sexual activity, some patients may initially experience symptoms such as pain and discomfort during urination. Don't worry, after 6 to 8 times, the symptoms will become lighter and lighter.
