Patient's question:
Last month, due to the recurrence of frequent urination and incomplete urination, I went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor told me that I had chronic prostatitis. I want to know if chronic prostatitis is infectious?Doctor's answer:
The disease mentioned by the patient is considered to have a very low risk of being contagious. However, if sexual activity occurs again, there is a certain chance it could be transmitted to the other person. Prostatitis is generally classified as either bacterial or non-bacterial. The patient needs to consult their primary physician based on the results of a routine prostatic fluid test and a color Doppler ultrasound of the prostate. If the inflammation is significant upon examination, it may be necessary to use antibiotics in conjunction with treatment. If the patient has chronic non-bacterial prostatitis, traditional Chinese medicine can be used for.
