Patient's question:
I am a long-distance bus driver with twenty years of work experience, often traveling to other places for work. Due to the nature of my job, I spend long hours sitting. Recently, I noticed a sticky discharge from the urethral opening. When urinating, I feel burning and pain in the urethra. Additionally, I have experienced difficulty urinating again. Long periods of sitting make me feel a heavy and uncomfortable sensation in my lower body. The doctor examined me and said it was prostatitis.Doctor's answer:
Generally, prostatitis does not cause infertility. However, it can easily affect sexual function, so timely treatment is necessary. If it is not severe, conventional medications such as (Prostatitis Care) and (Prostatitis Relief) can be taken. Prostatitis can indeed lead to infertility, but this is highly dependent on each individual's constitution and physical condition. Some people may have prostatitis but still be able to conceive.Generally speaking, when prostatitis occurs again, it can affect the volume, quality, and composition of semen, potentially leading to infertility. For mild bacterial prostatitis, medication is generally not recommended. Treatment should be based on individual symptoms and examination results, avoiding blind medication. It is important to drink more water and complement treatment with traditional Chinese medicine.
