What are the effects of treating prostatitis on fertility

Patient's question:

My colleague is a high school teacher. He has been divorced for several years and doesn't have any children. Then, he and his wife got into a fight, saying that the problem was with his wife. His wife went for a comprehensive and thorough check-up and found some mild gynecological diseases, which said they wouldn't affect getting pregnant. He went for a check-up and was diagnosed with prostatitis. The doctor said it was his problem.

Doctor's answer:

Since prostatic fluid is an important component of semen, when the prostate becomes inflamed, bacteria and other pathogenic microorganisms and their toxins enter the semen, they will consume the nutritional components of seminal plasma, and may also alter the pH of the semen, affect the activity of related enzymes, increase the viscosity of semen, and impair the motility of sperm, and so on. All of these are factors that affect fertility. Poor health conditions and sexual dysfunction further exacerbate psychological burdens, creating a vicious cycle. Prostatitis is a disease that is difficult to cure. Friends suffering from this condition should maintain a positive mindset and face it with optimism, as only this can boost their confidence in combating prostatitis.
