Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling unwell, and after a thorough examination at the hospital, I found out it's prostatitis. I'd like to consult: Does prostatitis affect fertility?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis interferes with early pregnancy and causes infertility: It often leads to sexual dysfunction, such as loss of libido, premature ejaculation, delayed ejaculation, excessive ejaculation, ejaculation, and ejaculation pain. Increased prostate fluid secretion leads to increased semen volume, enhanced viscosity, prolonged discharge time, and interference with survival rates. Sperm vitality; Bacteria, viruses, and inflammatory secretions in prostate fluid consume oxygen and nutrients in semen, threatening sperm survival. Bacteria that cause prostatitis are mostly Escherichia coli and mycoplasma, which can lead to sperm agglutination, reduce sperm vitality, increase sperm quantity, and enhance abnormal sperm.
