Patient's question:
I am a patient with prostatitis, and I have had this condition for two years. Occasionally, the symptoms reappear, but they are somewhat relieved after medication. However, they often recur. Recently, I am planning to have children. I am worried that the recurring prostatitis might lead to infertility. What kind of help is needed: What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Severe chronic prostatitis can lead to male infertility. The prostate is a in the male body, and its secretion, prostatic fluid, is a small part of semen. Inflammatory bacteria and other pathogens can affect sperm motility and function, deplete the nutritional components of seminal fluid, alter the pH of semen, impair sperm activity, stimulate the body to produce antisperm antibodies, and thus impact male fertility. If you experience discomfort, please return for follow-up promptly to avoid delaying the condition.
