Is the prostate a sexually transmitted disease?

Patient's question:

I want to know if prostate disease is a sexually transmitted disease.

Doctor's answer:

Analysis of the condition: Prostatitis and sexually transmitted diseases are two different concepts.
Advice: Sexually transmitted diseases refer to diseases that are transmitted through sexual contact. In contrast, prostatitis can have many causes, but it is not transmitted or contracted through sexual contact. Prostatitis does not fall under the category of sexually transmitted diseases. As everyone knows, prostatitis abscess can cause significant harm to men, so it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible.
