Patient's question:
I am a 19-year-old male suffering from chronic prostatitis. What is the relationship between chronic prostatitis and semen?Doctor's answer:
Prostate diseases are common among men today. Generally speaking, if there are no uncomfortable symptoms, they may not need to be addressed. Prostate diseases can interfere with the quality of sperm because semen passes through the prostate each time ejaculation occurs. Additionally, the prostate is close to the seminal vesicles. If the prostate is inflamed, it can damage the quality of sperm. For patients with prostatitis, it is important to take medication promptly according to symptoms and pay attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
