Patient's question:
The sperm survival rate is 55% A-level motility, 13% B-level motility, and 11% C-level motility. After taking Chinese medicine for two months, there has been no improvement. 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 I need to use a device to clear them. The price is 3600 yuan, and it takes 30 minutes. I want to ask, is it necessary to use a device to clear this blockage? Can it be done in a Grade 3-A hospital? Besides prostatitis, my wife will definitely not be able to get pregnant? Is it true that once the inflammation is resolved, the sperm parameters will improve, and pregnancy will be possible?Doctor's answer:
A standard tertiary hospital would definitely not have such treatment methods; this is just a way for them to make money, and it has no scientific basis. Prostatitis only interferes with conception and will never cause absolute infertility. Once the inflammation is resolved, the quality of sperm will improve, increasing the chances of conception. Prostate conditions tend to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is crucial to immediately visit a professional and reputable hospital for diagnosis, and treatment should be considered based on examination results. Additionally, it is important to quit smoking and drinking.
