Patient's question:
I am a 23-year-old male who has been sick for a long time, but it wasn't until a checkup that I discovered this condition. Please ask: What are the ways women can be infected with prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Female prostate refers to the glandular tissue surrounding the female urethra that is structurally similar to the prostate. These glands are mostly clustered in the posterior and superior part of the female urethra. Approximately 92% of women have this tissue, with about 25% being true prostates. Its function is to produce mucous and serous secretions that can increase female libido. The pleasure and stimulation experienced when the female prostate excretes this fluid are similar to those caused by the male prostate. The main transmission routes are:1. Bloodstream transmission: Pathogenic bacteria from other parts of the body can reach the prostate through the bloodstream, causing prostatitis. Common sources include skin infections, tonsillitis, dental caries, respiratory or intestinal infections, where bacteria enter the bloodstream and then infiltrate the prostate.
2. Direct urethral spread: This is a relatively common transmission route.
