Does the foreskin affect sperm quality?

Patient's question:

I recently don't know what's going on, my lower body is very uncomfortable, and I'm not getting morning erections anymore. Is the foreskin affecting sperm quality?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, men with excessive foreskin are prone to urethral infections, and it can even lead to prostatitis or orchitis and epididymitis. Prostatitis caused by smegma infection can affect the motility of sperm in semen and the viscosity of semen, leading to infertility.
Hello, based on your description, it is likely caused by inflammation, generally related to local pathogenic bacterial infection. You can try taking Amoxicillin and Metronidazole orally for treatment. Rest well, avoid stimulating foods, drink more water, and it will gradually improve.
