Clinically, there are many types of prostatitis, but the symptoms are not different, so it is difficult to determine whether prostatitis is infectious from the symptoms alone. To identify whether prostatitis is infectious, it depends on the specific bacterial culture, which can only be determined by identifying the pathogenic bacteria. We all know that there are many causes of chronic prostatitis. Except for prostate congestion, the rest are caused by infection. If it is caused by Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, etc., it is non specific bacterial prostatitis. This type of prostatitis is generally not transmitted to a woman because women have a strong self-cleaning and antibacterial ability in the vagina.
If it is caused by gonococcal, fungal, or trichomonal prostatitis, that is, specific bacterial prostatitis, which is contagious in the early stages of the disease, sexual activity should be prohibited at this time to prevent transmission to the woman and causing gonococcal, fungal, or trichomonal vaginitis. For non bacterial prostatitis, if chlamydia or mycoplasma is detected, although there is still controversy about whether it can cause disease alone, in order to ensure safety, it is necessary to cure before having sex.
Can prostatitis infect others? In daily life, if men experience symptoms related to the disease, they should go to the hospital as early as possible for an exhaustive examination, determine the cause, and treat as soon as possible. Otherwise, encountering infectious prostatitis that endangers the health of a partner is not worth the loss, and men must pay attention to it.
