Is chronic prostatitis contagious? Is it harmful?

Chronic prostatitis and other reproductive system diseases are relatively common in men. Many patients do not really take it seriously until a long time after the onset of the disease. At this time, they often worry whether their inflammation is contagious, especially whether their sexual partners will also be infected. So are prostate diseases contagious? Next, the editor will analyze it for you.

Clinically, a small proportion of chronic prostatitis is caused by trichomonas or fungi, or by gonococcal, mycoplasma, or chlamydia infection. These infectious factors are contagious to a certain extent in the early stages of the disease. During sexual intercourse, the infectious bacteria may be transmitted to the female, causing specific vaginitis.

However, this infection is not complete. It depends on the strength of the bacteria, the number of bacteria, the resistance of the opponent, and the severity of the prostatitis patient. If an acute attack occurs, the number of bacteria increases and the bacteria are more capable, the chance of infection will greatly increase.

If the man has been suffering from prostatitis for a long time, has not been cured in time, and still has long-term sexual life, the chance of infection is also relatively high. Moreover, various discomforts or inflammatory symptoms will be aggravated after sexual intercourse, which will directly affect the quality of sexual life, which will make the patient feel disgusted, leading to the appearance of impotence and premature ejaculation. In addition, if the man is cured of prostatitis after infection, if the woman is not cured of the disease, she will be infected again through sexual intercourse again, resulting in cross infection. Therefore, for infectious prostatitis, it is important for husband and wife to treat it together.

Therefore, it is impossible to give a definite answer as to whether diseases such as chronic prostatitis are contagious. But in general, no matter what type of inflammation it is, patients and their sexual partners should be vigilant, and it is best to strictly control sexual life during the illness so as to prevent it from happening.
