Patient's question:
I have prostatitis. After being divorced for several years and having no children, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, but it was said that there was no problem with fertility. I asked if prostatitis affects fertility?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic fluid is a combination of seminal fluid, so any changes in prostatic fluid caused by prostatitis can affect semen quality. However, this impact varies from person to person. Generally, prostatitis-induced semen abnormalities include low sperm count, weak sperm motility, and prolonged semen liquefaction time.Additionally, there are several causes of infertility and sterility, including factors related to the male, female, or both. For example, issues such as female tubal problems, ovulatory dysfunction, uterine cavity issues, or cervical problems may lead to infertility even if the male's semen is normal.
