Patient's question:
Doctor, I would like to ask some questions. My husband has had prostatitis for nearly five years now. We recently have plans to have a baby, and I wonder if his condition will affect it. He has taken some medication, but it hasn't been completely cured. Does prostatitis affect pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis can affect fertility because there is a substance called lecithin corpuscles in the prostate that nourishes sperm! If the prostate becomes congested, fibrotic, or inflamed again, it will cause an increase in lecithin corpuscles. As the number of lecithin corpuscles decreases, the number of sperm will gradually increase! The quality and motility of sperm! This leads to infertility! Therefore, it is essential to pay attention to and take care of prostatitis.Prostatitis is the most common disease among adult males, accounting for 1/3 to 1/2 of patients seen in traditional Chinese medicine urology clinics. Clinically, it is divided into acute prostatitis and chronic prostatitis, with chronic prostatitis being the most common. This condition can occur at any age in adult males, but it rarely occurs before puberty.
