Patient's question:
Hello: Do you have prostatitis? Will you transmit a lot of inflammation to your partner during sexual intercourse?Doctor's answer:
First, it is important to identify the type of chronic prostatitis you have. In clinical diagnosis, most chronic prostatitis cannot be traced to a specific pathogen, meaning it is non-bacterial prostatitis. For this type of chronic inflammation, it is absolutely not contagious to your female partner. Even if bacterial infection is detected, it would be non-specific bacterial prostatitis. Since the vagina has a strong defense mechanism against foreign bacterial infections, there is no need to worry about infecting your wife.
