Patient's question:
My husband's epididymitis is a relatively severe type, but since it doesn't interfere with our normal sexual life, we never sought treatment for it. However, my husband and I have been divorced for several years now, and both sets of parents are eager for us to have children. That's when we started to worry about whether epididymitis actually affects fertility.Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis can interfere with conception, but there are multiple reasons that can cause this interference, involving factors from both the male and female sides. Therefore, if conception remains unsuccessful, it is necessary to have both partners undergo joint diagnosis and treatment. If the prostatitis is the cause, active treatment for prostatitis is required. If it is caused by other diseases, treatment for those other diseases should also be administered concurrently. It is important to maintain adequate rest during daily life.
