Patient's question:
After a year of marriage, I developed prostatitis, which was later cured. I always wanted a child, but my wife couldn't get pregnant. The doctor said it might be because of the prostatitis. What are the reasons for male infertility caused by the prostate?Doctor's answer:
Autoimmune sperm antibodies produced by men themselves and autoimmune heterologous sperm antibodies produced by women can both lead to male infertility. In recent years, with the decrease in the incidence of sexually transmitted diseases, the incidence and severity of reproductive tract infections such as prostatitis, epididymitis, orchitis, and urethritis have increased, severely interfering with male fertility. Infertility can be cured, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. It is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, take medication appropriately, and also maintain a light diet. Avoid spicy foods, smoking, and drinking beer.
