Patient's question:
Due to work-related factors or medical conditions, I usually drink very little water. This year, I've been experiencing some lower abdominal pain during urination and sexual activity. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the diagnosis was prostatitis. They advised me to seek timely treatment, as it can lead to infertility if left untreated. Is it really that serious?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the symptoms of prostatitis are primarily characterized by an increase in acidic substances in the patient's body, which leads to a higher acidity in semen, making it unsuitable for sperm survival and resulting in reduced sperm vitality. The symptoms of prostatitis may also lead to anejaculation or retrograde ejaculation, preventing sperm from entering the vagina naturally and thus causing infertility. As everyone knows, male infertility can cause significant harm to patients, so it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary issues, avoiding foods, and maintaining a balanced diet. Additionally, regular follow-up appointments may be necessary when needed.
