Patient's question:
My husband has recently experienced frequent urination, urinary urgency, difficulty urinating, split urine stream, post-micturition dribbling, increasing nocturia, decreased libido, premature ejaculation, painful ejaculation, and weakened erection. After a thorough examination at the hospital, he was diagnosed with bacterial prostatitis. I would like to consult about whether it is a bacterial prostatitis infection.Doctor's answer:
If the diagnosis of the patient's condition is caused by a bacterial infection, this situation may be somewhat contagious if sexual activity occurs, although the level of contagion is relatively low. However, it is still recommended to avoid sexual activity during treatment. It is also important to drink more water, maintain a light diet, and avoid smoking and alcohol. If there is a bacterial infection, it is necessary to follow the doctor's advice and use broad-spectrum antibiotics, in addition to symptomatic medications for treatment.
