Patient's question:
I originally had prostatitis, and during a follow-up examination, I was found to have seminal vesiculitis. The seminal vesicle and sperm have a lot to do with each other, right? Why is seminal vesiculitis prone to causing male infertility?Doctor's answer:
About 90% of the substances in semen are secretions from the seminal vesicles. Fructose can be used by sperm as an energy source. When the seminal vesicles are inflamed, these secretions increase, which can interfere with sperm vitality. Once the semen volume is insufficient to fill the semen pool in the posterior fornix of the vagina, infertility may result. For infertile patients, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If treatment is not timely, it can affect health conditions. Therefore, patients should seek timely medication treatment and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
