Can prostatitis be transmitted to a partner?

Can prostatitis be transmitted to a partner? Many male friends are very concerned about this issue, because some male friends will suffer from diseases such as prostatitis, which will bring certain harm to the male friends' body. At the same time, it will seriously affect the male friends' life, work and study. Therefore, once a male friend suffers from such a disease, he must be treated in time. Especially male friends with families and married life, they will also worry about infecting their partners, so let's understand this issue.

Generally, simple prostatitis is not contagious, but chronic prostatitis caused by trichomonas or fungi, or caused by gonococcal or mycoplasma infection, which is clinically called idiopathic prostatitis, is contagious in the early stages of the disease and can be transmitted to the female during sexual intercourse, causing idiopathic vaginitis.

Prostatitis is a common disease among adult men. Although it is not a disease that directly threatens life, it seriously affects the patient's quality of life. Patients with prostatitis account for 8% to 25% of outpatients in urology departments, and about 50% of men will be affected by prostatitis at some point in their lives. Prostatitis can affect adult men of all ages, and the incidence rate is higher in adult men under 50 years old.

Prostatitis may also be related to season, diet, sexual activity, urogenital tract inflammation, benign prostatic hyperplasia or lower urinary tract syndrome, occupation, socioeconomic status, and psychological factors. It is a male-specific disease and is not contagious.

Currently in our lives, the incidence of prostatitis caused by these factors is increasing. Therefore, for chronic prostatitis caused by these factors, sexual intercourse 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, the couple should take medication at the same time.

For this type of prostatitis, since the cause is clear, as long as targeted drug treatment is carried out in time, the pathological changes of the prostate caused by inflammation may still exist, so the inflammation may continue to exist. However, even if you have sex at this time, since the pathogens have disappeared, it will not be transmitted to your wife.

The above content is about the problem of prostatitis being transmitted to partners. So we know that this needs to be analyzed according to the specific reasons for the male friend's illness. Some are not contagious, but if there are special causes, they can also be transmitted through different channels. Therefore, there is no generalization, and specific problems need to be analyzed specifically. But once we have such a disease, we need to treat it in time.
