Patient's question:
I now have prostatitis, and I often feel discomfort down there. Urinary urgency and frequency are very severe. I am now worried about it leading to infertility. I am also planning to conceive a baby. I would like to ask the doctor if prostatitis is a cause of infertility?Doctor's answer:
A normal person's ejaculation volume is 3-5 milliliters, which is approximately vaporized within 30 minutes after being expelled from the body. Each milliliter contains over 60 million sperm, with more than 60% being motile sperm. Conditions such as hematospermia (blood in sperm), excessive dead sperm, or failure to vaporize are all abnormalities that can lead to male infertility. Infertility conditions tend to recur, requiring long-term medication for maintenance. For male patients, it is crucial to seek immediate treatment at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on thorough examination results. Additionally, it is important to quit smoking and drinking and maintain good personal hygiene.
