Patient's question:
I and my husband are relatively close and plan to have a child. We are currently trying to conceive, but after a month, we haven't become pregnant. I heard from others that chronic prostatitis can prevent pregnancy, but I'm not sure if it's true. I would like to ask you, doctor, can someone with chronic prostatitis get pregnant?Doctor's answer:
Hello, chronic prostatitis and other conditions may likely affect normal semen quality, leading to prolonged infertility. It is recommended to actively manage and treat the condition before attempting pregnancy. Also, monitor the frequency and timing of sexual activity to ensure normalcy. It is advised to have a cold shower for about 5 days and for men to promptly visit a hospital to undergo tests such as routine semen analysis and prostatic fluid examination. Further management can then be considered based on the results. Wishing you good health.
