Patient's question:
A while ago, I felt some discomfort in my penis and went to the hospital for a thorough examination. I was told that I had chronic prostatitis. However, my wife has been nagging me recently, saying she wants to have children. I'm worried about whether this condition will affect pregnancy. Does chronic prostatitis affect sperm quality?Doctor's answer:
There are many different reasons that can affect sperm quality, among which chronic prostatitis can also lead to poor sperm quality. If both partners want to conceive, they can go to a regular hospital's antenatal department for comprehensive and thorough examinations. Men can have a semen analysis; it is generally recommended not to have too much stress, and before conception, they can eat more beef and seafood, which can help improve sperm vitality. Prostatitis can be stabilized, but the treatment process is usually slow, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid sitting or riding for long periods and pay more attention to personal hygiene. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible!
