Patient's question:
I might have had children after getting prostatitis. I want to know if bacterial prostatitis is harmful to the next generation?Doctor's answer:
Hello, prostatitis does not directly affect fertility, but it can pose a threat to the quality of sperm to some extent. Moreover, if prostatitis is not treated promptly, it can lead to various complications, such as seminal vesiculitis, epididymitis, orchitis, sexual dysfunction, and male infertility. The general causes of this condition include direct spread from urinary tract infections, congestion of the prostate due to frequent sexual activity, excessive masturbation, prolonged sitting, riding, alcohol consumption, colds, and exposure to cold, as well as overly forceful massage techniques.Based on your description, it is recommended that you actively seek medical treatment for prostatitis at a hospital and follow the doctor's advice. Meanwhile, it is advisable to take temporary contraceptive measures. In daily life, pay attention to self-care for the prostate, drink more water, avoid prolonged sitting, exercise more, refrain from spicy and irritating foods, quit smoking and alcohol, and moderate sexual activity. Wishing you good health.
