Patient's question:
I have had prostatitis for a long time, and it has not healed on its own yet. Does prostatitis affect fertility?Doctor's answer:
General prostatitis inflammation reflects long-term stimulation, which can easily lead to a decline in semen quality and have a certain negative impact on fertility. It is recommended to visit a professional urology and andrology department for examination, culture of prostatic fluid, and drug sensitivity tests to ensure targeted medication. Generally, it can return to normal within 1 to 2 weeks. Chronic prostatitis may cause issues such as semen not liquefying, low sperm vitality, and low motility. Prostatitis patients must seek timely and standardized andrology hospital treatment and undergo thorough examinations, along with additional treatments.
