Can Chronic Prostatitis Infect Others?

Prostatitis is a common male disease, and it is divided into acute and chronic prostatitis. Most acute attacks will lead to chronic illness if men can not take timely measures. Chronic prostatitis will bring great trouble to men, so they should pay attention to it. Understand some common mistakes during the treatment to avoid affecting the examination results and getting severe complications. What are the common mistakes of chronic prostatitis? 1. Chronic prostatitis must use antibiotics to be effective Most patients think that the persistence of chronic prostatitis is caused by inflammation, so the use of antibiotics is effective. But in fact, patients should take a systematic approach instead of antibiotics alone during the treatment. Chronic prostatitis is divided into two kinds: nonbacterial and bacterial. Antibiotics can get effective improvements for bacterial prostatitis. However, they can not treat nonbacterial prostatitis effectively. Therefore, patients need to do a routine examination of prostate fluid to determine the pathogenic bacteria and then targeted treatment. Generally, bacterial prostatitis can be treated with antibiotics for six to 8 weeks to improve symptoms. If it is nonbacterial prostatitis, Chinese medicine treatment has a relatively obvious effect, commonly used is Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill. It has the effect of diuresis, blood circulation, blood stasis, heat clearing, and detoxification. The treatment of traditional Chinese medicine dialectically is good for treating prostatitis and other male reproductive system diseases. 2. Prostatitis is a venereal disease Prostatitis is one of the most common inflammatory diseases. But because it is related to the reproductive system, many people will classify it as a sexually transmitted disease. Chronic prostatitis and sexually transmitted diseases are related, and some sexually transmitted diseases can cause prostatitis. But it does not mean that prostatitis is a sexually transmitted disease. Because some patients will not have sexually transmitted diseases and prostatitis simultaneously, just simple prostatitis, do not blindly think that prostatitis is a sexually transmitted disease. Therefore, do not dare to tell the doctor about the situation to avoid delayed treatment. 3. Chronic prostatitis is contagious Many men think that prostatitis is an infectious disease, so they dare not have sex after infection, afraid of infecting their partner. Whether chronic prostatitis is infectious is determined by the cause of chronic prostatitis. Generally speaking, if it is caused by Mycoplasma, chlamydia, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, tuberculosis, fungi, trichomonads, and other infections, there is a certain degree of infectious. But in fact, most chronic prostatitis in the clinic can not be found pathogenic bacteria. That is to say, it is not bacterial prostatitis, so there is no infectious, sexual life that will not be transmitted to women. And chronic prostatitis patients with appropriate sex life are conducive to prostatic fluid excretion and can assist in treating disease. 4. Chronic prostatitis can lead to benign prostatic hyperplasia Many men think that chronic prostatitis will lead to benign prostatic hyperplasia if they can not receive treatment in time. It is actually a misconception. Chronic prostatitis and benign prostatic hyperplasia are two different diseases, and there is no correlation between them. So don't put too much pressure on yourself in the treatment, and don't always think that prostatitis will lead to benign prostatic hyperplasia, afraid of other problems in the prostate, leading to more severe diseases. Warm tips: In life, prostatitis is a more typical male disease. However, although many men get active treatment in time after the onset, they can not get a cure because it is not complete and leads to chronic pain. Therefore, chronic prostatitis repeatedly troubled themselves. Many patients also have prostatitis continually because of the previous misunderstanding during treatment, leading to a constantly repeated attack. Therefore, men need to understand chronic prostatitis and correctly deal with it.
