Patient's question:
Sperm survival rate 55% A motility 13% B motility 11% After taking Chinese medicine for two months, there was no improvement in the effect. Yesterday, I went to a private urology hospital for a thorough examination, including a color Doppler ultrasound. They said I have prostatitis and blocked prostatic ducts, and that instruments would be needed to clear them. The price is 3600 yuan, for 30 minutes. I want to ask, is it necessary to use instruments to clear this blockage? Can it be done in a Grade III-A hospital? Besides prostatitis, can my wife definitely not get pregnant? Will the sperm indicators improve once the inflammation is resolved, allowing us to get pregnant?Doctor's answer:
A formal Grade A hospital would definitely not have such treatment methods; this is just a way for them to make money, not based on any scientific rationale. Prostatitis only interferes with conception and will never cause absolute infertility. Once the inflammation is resolved, sperm quality will improve, increasing the chances of conception. Prostate conditions tend to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is crucial to seek treatment at a professional and reputable hospital, considering the examination results for treatment decisions. Additionally, it is important to quit smoking and drinking.
