Chronic prostatitis is the general name of a group of diseases, including chronic bacterial prostatitis and non-bacterial prostatitis. In clinical practice, the vast majority of chronic prostatitis is non-bacterial prostatitis, bacterial prostatitis only accounts for about 5%, and most of them are common bacteria or conditional pathogens.
Chronic prostatitis is the general name of a group of diseases, including chronic bacterial prostatitis and non-bacterial prostatitis.
In clinical practice, the vast majority of chronic prostatitis is non-bacterial prostatitis, bacterial prostatitis only accounts for about 5%, and most of them are common bacteria or conditional pathogens. Non-bacterial prostatitis can't be detected. For this type of chronic inflammation, it will not be transmitted to the woman. Even if bacterial infection is detected, because the woman has strong resistance to external bacterial infection in the vagina, there is no need to worry about the wife being infected.
However, it should be noted that a small proportion of chronic prostatitis is caused by trichomonas or fungi, or by gonococcal, mycoplasma, chlamydia infection, which is called specific prostatitis in clinical practice. These infectious factors are infectious in the early stage of the disease, so it is possible to transmit the infected bacteria to the woman during sexual life, resulting in specific vaginitis.
The specific prostatitis can be diagnosed by clinical test, bacteriological examination or massage to take out the prostatic fluid, then inoculate it on the culture medium, and then put it into a special incubator to provide certain growth conditions for bacteria and microorganisms. During a period of time, observe the growth of bacteria, and identify the type of bacteria through the analysis of colonies. The current reality is that the prevalence of prostatitis caused by these factors is also increasing.
Therefore, for chronic prostatitis caused by these factors, sexual life should be avoided at the early stage of treatment. If it is suspected that the woman has been infected or is the source of infection, the husband and wife should take medicine at the same time. If you don't know what kind of pathogenic bacteria is causing it, it is safer to use condoms.
