Is prostate cancer sexually transmitted?

Prostate cancer cannot be transmitted through sexual contact because it is a disease caused by gene mutations in cells and has nothing to do with infectious pathogens.

Prostate cancer is a male-specific cancer, and its cause is often related to aging, genetic factors, lifestyle habits, etc. Current medical research has not found any bacteria, viruses or parasites that can cause prostate cancer, and there is no evidence that it can be transmitted to others through blood, saliva or sexual behavior.

Although prostate cancer is not sexually transmitted, patients may experience sexual dysfunction during treatment due to hormonal changes or psychological stress, such as erectile dysfunction or decreased libido, which is a key point to pay attention to. In addition, people with prostate cancer do not need to take protective measures alone to avoid "infecting" their partners. What they need to pay more attention to is psychological communication and support with their partners.

If you experience prostate discomfort, frequent urination, or poor urinary flow, it is recommended that you undergo regular prostate health checks and follow your doctor's advice for timely treatment. At the same time, a balanced diet, exercise, and a good work and rest schedule can also help keep you away from prostate-related diseases.
