    Whether testicular tuberculosis is contagious or not depends on the actual situation of the patient. In the process of suffering from testicular tuberculosis, accompanied by pulmonary tuberculosis, there may be contagious conditions, so it is not completely certain.

    1. Not contagious

    Testicular tuberculosis is a part of systemic tuberculosis. Most of the time, the tuberculosis virus reaches the testicles when the body is infected with tuberculosis and is not treated in time. If it is just simple testicular tuberculosis, it is not contagious. You can slowly recover after cooperating with a doctor in time for treatment.

    2. Infection

    Testicular tuberculosis requires going to the hospital for review during the illness. If in addition to testicular tuberculosis, there is also pulmonary tuberculosis, it may be accompanied by contagion and must be isolated and treated in time.
