Prostatitis is a common male disease. Many prostatitis patients worry that prostatitis will infect or cause impotence,
Prostatitis is not contagious
Prostatitis and sexually transmitted diseases are two completely different diseases. Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are a kind of specific infection, belonging to infectious diseases, such as gonorrhea. Patients have secretion at the urethral orifice, while prostatitis has no secretion at the urethral orifice, only symptoms. Prostatitis is a non-specific disease that will not directly cause harm to women, but men with acute prostatitis generally do not advocate sexual life, and should stop sexual life under the guidance of doctors. Patients with chronic prostatitis can have normal sexual life.
As for the relationship between prostatitis and male impotence, there is no clear survey data indicating that there is a direct link between the two; However, the prostate is a part of the gonad, which will affect the quality of sexual life of patients with prostatitis to varying degrees. To be sure, prostatitis will not make men lose their sexual ability, but it will affect the survival rate of sperm to a certain extent, partially affect the reproductive ability, and will not produce other malignant changes. In addition, frequent sexual life can easily lead to prostatitis, and abstinence can also easily lead to prostatitis.
Clearly see the pathology of prostatitis
Prostatitis refers to the systemic or local symptoms caused by prostate specific and non-specific infection. Prostatitis can be divided into non-specific bacterial prostatitis, specific bacterial prostatitis (also known as prostate disease), specific prostatitis (caused by gonococcus, tuberculosis, fungi, parasites, etc.), non-specific granulomatous prostatitis, and other pathogens (such as viruses, mycoplasma, chlamydia, etc.). Prostate congestion and prostate pain.
Because the seminal vesicle and prostate are anatomical neighbors, the excretory tube of the seminal vesicle and the end of the vas deferens converge to form the ejaculatory tube, which enters the urethra through the prostate, so prostatitis is usually accompanied by seminal vesiculitis. According to the course of disease, it can be divided into acute prostatitis and chronic prostatitis. Acute prostatitis is an acute prostatitis caused by bacterial infection.
Acute prostatitis can have systemic symptoms such as aversion to cold, fever and fatigue; Local symptoms are high pressure in the perineum or pubic region, sedentary or increased defecation, radiating to the waist, lower abdomen, back and thigh. If there is a small abscess, the pain will increase, and the defecation will not be possible; Urethral symptoms include burning, urgency and frequency of urination, which may be accompanied by terminal hematuria or purulent urine secretion; Rectal symptoms include rectal swelling, emergency, defecation, and white secretion from the urethral orifice.
