Patient's question:
I recently don't know why my lower abdomen is very uncomfortable, and I also don't have morning erections anymore. Please ask if prostatitis can be transmitted to my girlfriend.Doctor's answer:
Most chronic prostatitis falls under the category of non-bacterial prostatitis, and this type of chronic inflammation does not transmit to the female partner. However, in clinical practice, a small portion of chronic prostatitis is caused by trichomoniasis or fungal infections, or by infections with Neisseria gonorrhoeae or mycoplasma, chlamydia, which are clinically referred to as specific prostatitis. These infectious factors are indeed contagious.
