Patient's question:
I have prostatitis for about 2 years. Sometimes when I urinate, there are white particles and it hurts when I urinate. However, in the past few years, it has only hurt me one or two times. Additionally, my sperm does not liquefy completely, sometimes taking 40 to 50 minutes to liquefy. The sperm vitality rate is 30% sometimes, 40% sometimes, and 20% sometimes.Doctor's answer:
From the description of the symptoms, the diagnosis is not an issue, but it is true that most private hospitals currently do exist with the problem of over-treatment.The treatment of chronic prostatitis now seems to have many, many treatment methods, but unfortunately, due to the unique anatomical structure of the prostate, there is currently no method that can completely cure it. Otherwise, there would be no need to research so many methods. Therefore, the treatment plan for chronic prostatitis is to control inflammation with medication during the flare-up period, and then improve one's lifestyle and habits to avoid or reduce episodes as much as possible.
About 30% of the fluid in semen comes from the prostate, so prostatitis is indeed one of the factors affecting semen quality, but not all individuals with prostatitis are infertile. If your desire to conceive is urgent and your overall sperm quality is still acceptable, on the basis of controlling inflammation, you can consider artificial insemination after optimizing sperm in vitro to increase the chances of conception.
