Patient's question:
I have been married to my husband for 4 years and haven't been able to get pregnant. I had a thorough medical examination at the hospital, and everything with my body was normal, but my husband was carefully examined and found to have chronic epididymitis. Is this condition the reason why we can't have children?Doctor's answer:
In clinical diagnosis, some patients develop epididymitis after undergoing prostate surgery or endoscopic procedures, or during the postoperative period when catheterization is not properly prevented. This leads to the gradual spread of bacteria or viruses into the epididymis.Transmission factors: When a male patient's body resistance decreases due to various reasons, it provides an opportunity for bacteria, chlamydia, mycoplasma, fungi, and viruses to invade.
