Patient's question:
Medical Description: Two years ago, I was diagnosed with prostatitis and treated successfully. Later, I started living with a girlfriend for half a year, but we couldn't get pregnant. She mentioned that her fertility was very low, but later said it was just a joke. I had a feeling it was my issue, so I always thought it was my problem. Today, I had another check-up for prostatitis, and the results showed white blood cells ranging from 12 to 15 per high-power field (HPF), sperm motility A20B30C21D29. Sperm vitality A20A plus B50. Sperm volume was 2 mL. The color was grayish-white. Sperm density was 31.9 million per milliliter, with normal levels at 88 and abnormal at 12. White blood cells were 6 to 8 per HPF. So, is it my friend's issue or mine?History of Treatment and Effects: I was treated for prostatitis, which later recurred.
Help Needed: Is it possible that I have prostatitis?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, approximately half of the patients with prostatitis may affect semen quality, leading to issues like semen not liquefying or asthenozoospermia. Therefore, it's best to check the semen quality if you have the time. If the semen quality is normal, it means there's no impact. If there are abnormalities, it indicates that it has already been affected, and timely treatment is needed.In daily life, pay attention to the following: avoid spicy, stimulating foods and alcohol; do not sit for long periods or hold urine; drink more water, and eat more apples, tomatoes, chestnuts, and pumpkin seeds. Engage in appropriate exercise to enhance your physical fitness.
Prostatitis may affect fertility, so timely treatment is necessary. Under the guidance of a doctor, you can take Dianxikang to treat it. Avoid frequent sexual activity and masturbation in daily life. If the condition is severe, it is recommended to seek physical therapy at a hospital.
