Patient's question:
Painful urination and frequent urination, always urinating a little. Hello, does urethritis affect sexual function? Will it affect fertility?Doctor's answer:
If there is obvious urinary frequency, urgency, pain, or incomplete urination, it is commonly caused by urethritis or prostatitis in men. If the inflammation constitutes chronic irritation, it can affect the normal development of sperm, thereby impacting fertility. Once diagnosed, active anti-inflammatory treatment is necessary. Pay attention to maintaining cleanliness and hygiene of the urethra, and maintain normal sexual activity to avoid excessive sexual intercourse or retrograde ejaculation, which can instead alleviate the normal physiological function of the prostate.
