Prostatitis can cause infertility?

Patient's question:

Lower left abdomen discomfort, intermittent, and also testicles intermittent pain, especially the day after sexual activity or excessive drinking

Doctor's answer:

Prostatitis and infertility are not very closely related.
Prostatic fluid routine tests are not objective and are only used for reference during initial diagnosis. They are no longer used for diagnosis or evaluating efficacy. The main basis for diagnosis is clinical manifestations, symptoms, and improvements in quality of life. The principle of treating prostatitis is primarily to alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life. Focusing too much on the test results of prostatic fluid is highly incorrect and misleading.
It is recommended to adjust your mindset, change your lifestyle, avoid prolonged sitting, drink more water, and avoid alcohol, among other measures.
