What is the difference between trichomoniasis prostatitis and prostatitis?

Patient's question:

Yesterday, a good friend of mine was chatting with me and said he had recently contracted trichomoniasis prostatitis. Because I had also suffered from prostatitis before, but it has now been cured, I wanted to consult a doctor. Hello, what is the difference between trichomoniasis prostatitis and prostatitis?

Doctor's answer:

Trichomoniasis prostatitis is contagious and is usually transmitted through sexual contact. The type of prostatitis you mentioned, also known as non-bacterial prostatitis, is caused by simple inflammation and is not contagious. Therefore, if your friend contracts trichomoniasis prostatitis, it is necessary to start medication treatment immediately, and sexual activity is strictly prohibited during the untreated period. In addition to receiving proper treatment for prostatitis, it is also important to pay attention to diet, such as eating a balanced diet and maintaining a positive mood.
