Patient's question:
About half a year ago, urination became very difficult, with a particularly long waiting time before urination. If someone was present, it was even harder to urinate, and it was also accompanied by the symptom of white droplets in the urine. Later, a thorough examination at the hospital revealed it to be prostatitis.Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is divided into specific prostatitis and non-specific prostatitis. Specific prostatitis is often caused by trichomoniasis or fungal infections, or by infections with gonococci, mycoplasmas, or chlamydiae. Therefore, such patients need to be cautious during sexual activity. In the early stages of recurrence, specific prostatitis has a certain infectivity and can infect the female partner, causing specific vaginal inflammation. Non-specific prostatitis, apart from prostatic congestion, is caused by non-bacterial infections or by pathogens such as Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Since the female vagina has a strong self-cleaning and antibacterial ability, non-specific prostatitis generally does not infect the female partner. Thus, appropriate sexual activity can be engaged in.
