Can chronic prostatitis be transmitted to my wife?

Chronic prostatitis is a common disease among men. Many men are afraid to have sex because they are afraid of infecting their wives. Although chronic prostatitis is very harmful to men's health, many people are skeptical about this issue and there is no definite answer in the end. Some patients are therefore very concerned about their sex life and abstain from sex for a long time, which leads to sexual dysfunction. Then the editor will show you the answer to the problem.

First of all, you need to make it clear what type of chronic prostatitis you suffer from. Clinically, most chronic prostatitis cannot be diagnosed with pathogenic bacteria, that is, it is non-bacterial prostatitis. This type of chronic inflammation will not be transmitted to the female partner. Even if bacterial infection is detected, it is non-specific bacterial prostatitis. Since the female vagina has a strong ability to resist foreign bacterial infection, there is no need to worry about the wife being infected.

However, there is another situation. A small proportion of chronic prostatitis is caused by trichomonas or fungi, or by gonococcal or mycoplasma, chlamydia infection, which is clinically called idiopathic prostatitis. These infectious factors are contagious in the early stage of the disease, so it is possible to transmit the infected bacteria to the woman during sexual intercourse, causing idiopathic vaginitis.

In addition, for chronic prostatitis caused by these pathogenic factors, since the cause is clear and targeted drug treatment is carried out, the effect is very ideal. Generally, the course of treatment is about 20 days, and most pathogens can be killed. At this time, the relevant infection bacteria culture is mostly negative. Although the pathogens are killed at this time, the pathological changes of the prostate may still exist, so the inflammation may continue to exist. But at this time, even if you have sex, you will not be infected again because the pathogens have disappeared, so you can rest assured.

After reading the full article, male friends who suffer from prostatitis do not need to be afraid. According to the scientific analysis of their own symptoms, determine the type of inflammation and treat it differently. If it is idiopathic prostatitis, sexual intercourse should be stopped. If it is suspected that the woman has been infected or the woman is the source of infection, the couple should take medication at the same time.
