Patient's question:
Does a prostate cyst affect fertility? Does a prostate cyst really cause male infertility? How is it treated?Doctor's answer:
The Connection Between Prostate Cysts and Fertility:1. There is a close relationship between prostate cysts and fertility. Prostate cysts are cystic changes that occur in the prostate gland due to congenital or acquired reasons. Prostate cysts can be complicated by infection and stones. Larger cysts may compress the urethra, causing urinary difficulties. Common symptoms include urgency, frequency, difficulty urinating, thin urine stream, and urinary retention.
2. When a prostate cyst is accompanied by inflammation, it can affect semen to varying degrees, thereby impacting normal fertility. If the cyst affects the secretion of prostatic fluid, its concentration, or the number of lecithin corpuscles, it can impair sperm vitality and affect fertility. It is recommended to visit a formal specialized hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment for better outcomes.
