Does prostatitis transmit to the partner during sexual intercourse?

Patient's question:

Hello, Doctor: I have prostatitis. Will I transmit a lot of inflammation to my partner during sexual intercourse?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to your description: First, it is important to clarify the type of chronic prostatitis you have. In clinical diagnosis, the majority of chronic prostatitis cases cannot detect any pathogenic bacteria, which means 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 of the female partner has a strong ability to resist foreign bacterial infections, there is no need to worry about her getting infected.
