Patient's question:
I have a friend who previously had prostatitis. Recently, he caught a cold and has been coughing up phlegm. He feels there might be some bacteria and is afraid of getting infected, so he doesn't dare to get too close when talking. Hello, does prostatitis mold cause infection? Should it be isolated?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis does not have obvious infectious properties, and this does not require isolation. For prostatitis caused by fungal infection, antifungal treatment is necessary. The current issue is not solely related to prostatitis. Your friend's recurring cold symptoms could be due to a weakened physical condition. If the cough persists without improvement, it might be related to the eyes. In such cases, isolation measures should be taken for prostate patients. Timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence, but if left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
