Patient's question:
I and my husband are planning to have a baby in July this year. We have already started preparing for pregnancy, but my husband has prostatitis. Recently, I have been buying for him to take. Hello, can my husband still take folic acid now? My husband has already started taking and folic acid. Can we have a baby three months from now?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis generally does not interfere with fertility. It only significantly affects sperm quality if it is very severe. Folic acid is only necessary for women during pregnancy preparation. Men don't need to take it. It is recommended to prevent prolonged penile erection to avoid blood buildup. Improve prostate fluid tests and semen tests. Oral medications such as levofloxacin tablets and Prostect can be used for treatment. Drink more water and avoid sitting for long periods. I wish you a speedy recovery. Prostatitis can be relieved, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment.
