What are the harms of prostatitis to women?

Prostatitis is a men's health problem that has been troubling many men. Not only does it cause discomfort in their genitals, but the premature ejaculation caused by it also makes men feel at a loss. In the life of couples, everyone can't help but want to know what harm men's prostatitis has on women? In fact, some prostatitis is harmless to women, that is, it is not contagious, but some prostatitis is still harmful to women. Which prostatitis is harmful to women?

"Prostate disease" is usually a common disease among men, especially middle-aged and elderly men. Recently, 53-year-old Ms. Liu was diagnosed with "prostatitis". Do women also have prostates? Experts say that "prostate disease" is not exclusive to men. Women also have "prostates", and middle-aged and elderly women over 40 years old can also suffer from this disease.

According to experienced doctors, the prostate is an accessory gland of the male reproductive system. Although women do not have a prostate, they also have glands similar to the prostate. These glands are homologous to the male prostate during the embryonic period and are also influenced and controlled by endocrine system. However, as women grow and develop, especially under the influence of factors such as estrogen in the body, the prostate tissue of most women shrinks and degenerates. However, the glandular tissue remaining in the body may occasionally become inflamed and cause disease.

This symptom was previously called "urethral syndrome". Now, the tissue around the female bladder that is similar to the male prostate is called "prostate-like tissue", and the female urination difficulties caused by the hyperplasia of prostate-like tissue are called "female prostate disease".

It points out that "prostate disease" in women is not a common disease, and is therefore easily misdiagnosed as urinary tract infection or female urogenital tumors. Some are also wrongly diagnosed as sexually transmitted diseases, which not only delays treatment, but also brings economic losses and mental burden to patients.

As analyzed above, bacterial prostatitis such as gonococcal prostatitis is contagious and harmful to women. It is recommended that men with prostatitis should go to the urology clinic regularly for prostate fluid and urine routine tests instead of worrying about the harm of prostatitis to women. In daily life, pay attention to not being too stressed, rest on time, improve diet, supplement nutrition, increase physical exercise, and maintain a happy mood.
