Prostate cancer is a neoplastic lesion that is not contagious and is not transmitted through sexual contact.
Specifically:
- Prostate cancer is the most common genitourinary tumor in older men. It is a malignant tumor of epithelial origin in the prostate alveoli, with adenocarcinoma predominating, mostly in the peripheral zone of the prostate. The exact cause of prostate is still unclear, and age, genetics, environment and lifestyle are the main risk factors for the development of prostate cancer;
- Some young and middle-aged patients may have inflammatory changes in the prostate gland due to certain pathogens such as bacteria, mycoplasma, and chlamydia, such as the common chronic prostatitis, and these chronic inflammatory changes are now considered to increase the risk of prostate cancer.
.
Therefore, the disease itself, prostate cancer, is fundamentally a neoplastic lesion due to abnormal proliferation of the prostate alveolar epithelium in response to a variety of factors, so it is not contagious and is not transmitted through sexual contact.
