Patient's question:
My wife is pregnant, but I had what seemed like prostatitis during pregnancy. At that time, I experienced frequent urination, urgency, and incomplete urination. Occasionally, I felt a burning sensation and pain at the urethral opening when urinating. Now, I'm very worried about it affecting the fetus. Hello, is it okay to have prostatitis during my wife's pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Generally, if a man has inflammation, it is best not to conceive, as it may have some adverse effects on the baby to some extent. Of course, this is not absolute. Currently, if a woman is already pregnant, it is important to maintain good prenatal care, and later on, to undergo regular prenatal check-ups and detailed ultrasound examinations to closely monitor the baby's growth and development indicators. It is also necessary to perform thorough screening for congenital anomalies, take folic acid, and maintain a balanced and diverse diet to prevent picky eating and meat deficiency. Prostatitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. Moreover, for male patients, it is essential to actively seek medical treatment at professional and reputable hospitals and consider treatment based on the examination results.
