Patient's question:
Recently preparing to have a child, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and found that I have prostatitis. I want to know if prostatitis can affect having children?Doctor's answer:
General symptoms of prostatitis are manifested as frequent urination, difficulty urinating, and some people exhibit lower back and sacral pain. In addition to many people showing sexual dysfunction, such as reduced erection duration, some may have sperm abnormalities, such as oligospermia or asthenozoospermia, and a series of clinical diagnostic symptoms. Chronic prostatitis can lead to childbirth. However, chronic prostatitis can make inflammatory factors in prostatic fluid easily interfere with sperm quality, thereby affecting the quality of the fertilized egg. If you want to conceive, you should carefully consider it. When choosing the right time to have a child, it is best to have a thorough examination in the urology department of a regular public hospital to check the quality of semen and sperm. This is the safest approach.
