Patients with prostatitis will suffer from problems of body and mind. The treatment of chronic prostatitis usually takes a long time. And the recurrence rate of chronic prostatitis is rather high. During the treatment of chronic prostatitis, other diseases may be induced by prostatitis. In addition to these problems, what many patients with chronic prostatitis are worrying about is the infectiousness of this disease. To answer this question, we need to have a more detailed leaning about chronic prostatitis.

Chronic prostatitis can be further divided into chronic bacterial prostatitis and chronic abacterial prostaitis. The former refers to prostatitis caused by the infection of pathogens while the latter refers to prostatitis caused by abacterial factors. Chronic abacterial prostatitis has no infectiousness while the condition of chronic bacterial prostatitis is a little complicated.

The common pathogens of prostatitis include chlamydia, mycoplasma, trichomonad, gonococcus, virus and some bacterium. Since the vagina of women has rather strong resistance to common bacterium, the prostatitis caused by the infection of common bacterium does not spread through sexual life in general. As for the prostatitis caused by the infection of chlamydia, mycoplasma, trichomonad, gonococcus, virus, there is a chance of infection through sexual life, especially in the early stage of the treatment. But the infectiousness is not very strong.

From the introduction above, we can have a brief understanding about the infectiousness of chronic prostatitis. To be brief, the chronic prostatitis caused by abacterial factors or the infection of common bacterium does not have infectiousness while the chronic prostatitis caused by the infection of specific pathogens such as chlamydia, mycoplasma, trichomonad, gonococcus, virus may spread through sexual life. Fortunately, in the clinic cases of chronic prostatitis, the rate of chronic abacterial prostatitis is much higher than the rate of chronic bacterial prostatitis. However, we can not ignore the chance of infection although the infection rate is low.

Patients with chronic prostatitis should found out what type of chronic prostatitis they are suffering from. Then sexual life during the treatment should follow the advice of professional doctors. If there is no risk of infection, sexual life should not be banned during the treatment of chronic prostatitis. Regular and appropriate sexual life can be beneficial for the recovery of the patients. For the treatment of chronic prostatitis, Chinese herbal medicine Diuretic and Anti-inflammation Pill can be applied. Compared with antibiotic treatment, traditional Chinese medicine treatment has the advantage of no side effect.
