Patient's question:
I have prostatitis, but I am currently trying to conceive during this period. Will prostatitis affect pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
A man has reappeared with symptoms of prostatitis, which may potentially affect fertility to some extent. Since the prostate is close to our reproductive organs, semen passes through it and mixes with prostatic fluid. A healthy prostate ensures more vitality for sperm. Therefore, if the condition of prostatitis is severe and sperm vitality is low, it may lead to infertility. In chronic prostatitis, the pH of semen changes, making it acidic and prone to causing sperm death. Prostatitis can be stabilized, but the treatment process is generally slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medications must be used according to symptoms. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible!
