Patient's question:
I am 35 years old this year and do not have any children. I previously had prostate stones. Does this condition affect fertility?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic calculi are formed in the ducts and alveoli of the prostate gland. They are classified into true calculi and false calculi. The diagnosis requires assessing the amount of lecithin corpuscles, which nourish sperm. Prostatic congestion, hyperplasia, or inflammation can lead to a reduction in lecithin corpuscles. When lecithin corpuscles decrease, sperm production gradually declines, resulting in reduced sperm quality, motility, and libido. In severe cases, it may lead to infertility. However, timely and systematic standardized treatment can effectively cure the condition.
