Patient's question:
My husband seems to have prostatitis. I want to understand what harms prostatitis can cause?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, when a man suffers from prostatitis, the inflammatory changes in the prostate can alter the composition and physicochemical properties of semen. The prostate is unable to provide sperm with nutrient-rich prostatic fluid, and sperm cannot obtain sufficient nutrition for healthy growth. In this case, male infertility will indirectly result. If bacterial prostatitis occurs again, it will directly contain bacteria and toxins in the semen, inhibiting sperm motility, causing sperm poisoning, coagulation, and death, thereby reducing male fertility.
