Both chronic nonbacterial prostatitis and chronic bacteria prostatitis are stubborn condition for us nowadays. Although both can be affected, men are prone to the nonbacterial type more, which accounts for 95%.
If there are symptoms such as pain, frequent urination or urgent urination, but no bacteria can be found, it is nonbacterial prostatitis, which is commonly misrecognized with interstitial cystitis. Chronic nonbacterial prostatitis isn’t contagious that allows men to have unprotected sex with their wives.
On the contrary, there also are prostatitis contagious when toxic materials like trichomonad and mould or gonococcus, mycoplasma, and chlamydia become the reason of prostatitis. Thereby, sex including the protected sex is not allowed until men have the toxic materials cleared.
But most of the time, prostatitis is safe and no contagious. You may worry about the prostate cancer, for there is rumor that prostatitis can raise the risk of getting prostate cancer. But this is not true. There is no direct connection between the two. But, regular or routine exams are needed, because recurrence can be prevented and timely treatment can be applied.
Curing the chronic prostatitis, herbal medicine and antibiotics are frequently applied. Both have advantages and disadvantages. Antibiotics have their effect shown up quick, but drug resistance makes prostatitis hard to be cleared by antibiotics. As for Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill, its cure rate is high but the treating course is long, because disease always cures by the enhanced immunity which is improved by this herbal medicine.
Since both have pros and cons, which one to choose varies from people to people. For people who seek for quick relieve, the antibiotic are better. But for people who gain no improvement on antibiotics, diuretic and anti-inflammatory pill is better. This herbal medicine produces no drug resistance problem.
All in all, prostatitis is neither a condition easily to be cured nor a condition unable to be eliminated.
