Patient's question:
I and my wife are preparing to have a child, but I previously suffered from prostatitis and haven't fully recovered. I've been taking medication to keep it from getting worse. My wife doesn't know about this yet. I'd like to ask if it's possible to get pregnant with prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis can lead to symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, dysuria, difficulty urinating, nocturia, perineal tenderness, and aching pain, which are distressing and uncomfortable. In severe cases, it may cause sexual dysfunction, bringing inconvenience and suffering to patients' daily lives and work. Difficulty urinating often affects men who stand for a long time trying to urinate but fail, significantly impacting their daily life, work, and mental well-being. Additionally, prostate diseases can easily lead to premature ejaculation, nocturnal emissions, hematospermia, decreased libido, impotence, and loss of sexual function. Chronic prostatitis, if not treated promptly, can easily develop into prostate cancer, making treatment more difficult at that stage and posing a higher risk to the patient's health.Facing prostate problems, we should adhere to the principle of symptomatic treatment in a timely manner.
