Is there a relationship between prostatitis and infertility?

Patient's question:

Okay, here is the translation following your instructions:
I'm done, but my wife hasn't gotten pregnant yet. So, I went to the provincial hospital for a thorough check-up. The doctor said I have chronic prostatitis, and also did a routine semen analysis.

Doctor's answer:

From the composition of semen, 30-35% is composed of prostatic fluid, while 65%-70% is seminal vesicle fluid, and sperm accounts for a very small proportion of the composition. Therefore, for the activity of sperm, the influence of prostatic fluid and seminal vesicle fluid is crucial. These two fluids represent the living space and nutrients required by sperm. If the prostate encounters problems again, this originally suitable environment for sperm will be affected. Thus, the occurrence of infertility caused by prostatitis depends on the severity of the condition. If the prostatitis is too severe, the impact on semen will naturally be greater, and the probability of infertility will also be much higher.
