I want to know if prostatitis affects fertility.

Patient's question:

My husband is 28 years old this year. Lately, he told me he wasn't feeling well, always having frequent urination and urgency. I was a bit worried about him and accompanied him to the hospital. At first, we thought it was a kidney disorder, but unexpectedly, he was diagnosed with prostatitis. We are planning to have another child, so will prostatitis interfere with conception?

Doctor's answer:

Severe prostatitis can interfere with sperm quality, leading to repeated abnormal sperm and liquefaction of semen, which may result in infertility. Therefore, it is important to treat prostatitis promptly. Habits such as frequent sexual activity, unrestrained sexual life, and prolonged sitting can easily lead to prostatitis.
After developing prostatitis, it is important to pay attention to daily habits. Avoid prolonged sitting, completely abstain from sexual activity, and restrain sexual life. Take warm sitz baths every night and oral antibiotics for treatment.
