Patient's question:
How many years have my husband and I been married? But we have never had a baby, so we are very anxious. We have taken many medications, and recently we went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said that my husband might have inflammation in the lower urethra, which could be causing the infertility. I just want to know what exactly is causing the infertility.Doctor's answer:
Hello: Infertility can be caused by either the male or the female. From a male perspective and for the sake of healthy reproduction, it is best to consider conception only when semen quality is qualified. Long foreskin has no direct relationship with semen quality, but it can easily lead to balanoposthitis, which can reversely infect the urethra and prostate, affecting semen quality and thus impacting fertility.
