Does clinical prostatitis affect fertility?

Patient's question:

I and my wife have been married for more than 3 years, but we don't have any children yet. Our family has been urging us to have a child, so we are planning to have one this year. However, just at this time, I was diagnosed with prostatitis. Could you please tell me if prostatitis affects fertility in clinical diagnosis?

Doctor's answer:

If a person suffers from prostatitis and does not receive early treatment, the inflammation may have a certain impact on sperm, making it easier to cause low sperm viability or lead to issues such as dead sperm or abnormal sperm. This can then affect fertility. Therefore, if a diagnosis of prostatitis is confirmed, it is essential to actively seek treatment. During the treatment period, it is important to avoid excessive sexual activity.
Additionally, for patients with prostatitis, their dietary condition and care during treatment are also very important. Patients should pay close attention to rest and engage in appropriate activities to avoid unnecessary harm. I hope the above answer can help you. Thank you.
