Does prostatitis cause infertility?

Patient's question:

Does prostatitis cause infertility every year? The most active sperm is 8%. Considering that the cold only lasts for three, can we not use it to make inferences?

Doctor's answer:

The prostate is also an important component of semen. Prostate inflammation can interfere with the quality of semen. If left untreated, the prostate can lead to seminal vesicle inflammation. The seminal vesicle also plays a key role in sperm supply, so prostatitis can affect fertility. The causes of prostatitis are complex, especially with chronic prostatitis, where the symptoms are unclear and diagnosis is difficult, making it hard for medication to target the issue effectively. If prostate treatment is delayed or irregular, the condition can become recurrent, requiring long-term treatment. This may lead to secondary nerve damage, other diseases, or interfere with sexual function, potentially even causing infertility.
