What should be done about infertility caused by prostatitis?

Patient's question:

I am 30 years old this year. Last year, I discussed with my husband about having another child this year, but I haven't been pregnant. In early 2010, I underwent a thorough examination and was diagnosed with prostatitis. Now, I want to know if women with prostatitis can have children!

Doctor's answer:

Prostatitis is divided into acute prostatitis and chronic prostatitis. Acute prostatitis refers to acute inflammation of the prostate caused by non-specific bacterial infection, primarily manifested as urinary urgency, frequent urination, painful urination, rectal and perineal pain, often accompanied by chills and fever. Due to its complex etiology, pathological changes, and diverse clinical diagnostic symptoms, it can affect male sexual function and fertility. If detected, it is important to seek medical treatment promptly. For patients, if the condition of prostatitis is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and proper medication should be administered, otherwise it may lead to a recurrence of prostatitis. Additionally, patients should pay attention to their diet and psychological care. It is hoped that the answers provided above can assist everyone.
