Patient's question:
Does a husband with prostate disease transmit it to his wife? Previous treatment history and effectiveness: Antibiotics and diuretics have been used without success. What kind of assistance is needed: I read an article in a newspaper that said if a husband has prostate disease, it can be transmitted to his wife. Is that true?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis infection refers to acute and chronic inflammation caused by specific and non-specific infections of the prostate, leading to systemic or local symptoms. Prostatitis can be divided into non-specific bacterial prostatitis, idiopathic bacterial prostatitis (also known as prostatodynia), specific prostatitis (caused by organisms such as Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, fungi, parasites, etc.), non-specific granulomatous prostatitis, prostatitis caused by other pathogens (such as viruses, mycoplasmas, chlamydiae, etc.), prostatic congestion, and prostatalgia. Since the seminal vesicle and prostate are anatomically related, the metabolic ducts of the seminal vesicle and the terminal part of the vas deferens form the ejaculatory duct.
