Does prostatitis affect fertility?

Patient's question:

I recently don't know why my lower body is very uncomfortable, and I also don't have morning erections anymore. Can prostatitis affect fertility?

Doctor's answer:

Prostatitis is an inflammation of the seminal vesicles caused by bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity. The main symptoms include hematospermia and frequent urination. If left untreated for a long time, it can affect sperm quality, thereby impacting fertility. Active treatment should be implemented upon recurrence of prostatitis. Pay attention to personal hygiene during daily life, and avoid sexual activity during treatment. Regularly perform routine semen tests to monitor sperm quality. Rest well, avoid greasy, spicy, and irritating foods, and refrain from alcohol.
