What is the method to determine whether chronic prostatitis is infectious? Can prostatitis be cured

Prostatitis is a common male disease. The symptoms caused by prostatitis vary greatly from mild to severe. Some patients have obvious pain. Although some patients have prostatitis, they have no obvious discomfort symptoms. Other patients have symptoms between the two. Even if the patient has only mild symptoms, it will have a negative impact on the quality of life, especially when the symptoms persist or recur.

Many people think that prostatitis is "inflammation" as soon as they hear it, but that is not the case. Not all prostatitis is infectious, especially chronic prostatitis. So how to judge whether chronic prostatitis is infectious?

First of all, it is necessary to identify the type of chronic prostatitis. Clinically, the majority of chronic prostatitis can not find pathogenic bacteria, that is, non-bacterial prostatitis. This chronic inflammation will not infect women. Even if bacterial infection is found, it is mostly non-specific. Because the female vagina has a strong resistance to foreign bacterial infection, there is no need to worry about the wife's infection.

However, it should be reminded here that even if non-bacterial prostatitis does not infect his wife, the patient still needs to properly control his sexual life, because repeated hyperemia of the prostate will aggravate the symptoms of prostatitis. However, there is another situation. In clinical practice, very few chronic prostatitis is caused by trichomonas or fungi, or by gonococcus, mycoplasma, chlamydia infection, which is called specific prostatitis.

For these infectious factors, they have certain infectivity at the initial stage of the disease, so they may infect women during sexual life, leading to specific vaginitis. Therefore, for chronic prostatitis caused by these factors, sexual life should be avoided at the early stage of treatment. If it is suspected that women have been infected or women are the source of infection, the husband and wife should take drugs at the same time. The general course of treatment is about 20 days, and the pathogen can be killed.

So, can prostatitis be cured? Experts said that there are many ways to treat prostatitis, but it is not clear which method will have special effects. Xiao Bian believes that for the treatment of prostatitis, especially chronic prostatitis, in addition to taking medicine on time and receiving physical therapy according to the doctor's advice, improving the living habits of patients is also a very important factor.
