Is prostatitis infectious?
To determine whether prostatitis can be infected, it is necessary to clarify which type of prostatitis belongs to.
Everyone knows that prostatitis is divided into specific prostatitis and non specific prostatitis. "Specific prostatitis is often caused by trichomonas or mold, or by gonococcal, mycoplasma, or chlamydia infections. When having sex, such patients need to pay attention to the fact that specific prostatitis, which has a certain degree of infectivity in the early stages of the disease, can be transmitted to women during sexual life, resulting in specific vaginitis.".
Non specific prostatitis, except for prostate congestion, is caused by non bacterial infections, or by Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, etc., that is, non specific bacterial prostatitis. Because women have a strong self-cleaning and antibacterial ability in the vagina, this nonspecific prostatitis generally does not infect the woman, so conducting a reasonable married life has no impact. Non specific prostatitis is not infectious.
"Non specific prostatitis is not infectious, does its harm decrease?"?
Prostatitis caused by sexually transmitted diseases such as mycoplasma or chlamydia is not only contagious, but also the bacteria, viruses, and inflammatory secretions in prostate fluid can consume oxygen and nutrients in semen, threatening sperm survival. The vast majority of bacteria infected with prostatitis are Escherichia coli and Mycoplasma, which can cause sperm aggregation, decreased motility, decreased sperm count, and increased abnormal sperm. At the same time, when suffering from pre prostatitis, zinc concentration decreases and sperm motility decreases, which can induce male infertility. It can be seen that the types of prostatitis are different, but its impact on men is not small.
