Patient's question:
My husband has developed prostatitis, but now we want to have a child. Will it affect our ability to have a child?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the prostate is an important part of the male reproductive system. Severe prostatitis may cause infertility in some men. During prostatitis, the secretion of prostatic fluid decreases, leading to a reduction in semen volume, which is not conducive to the survival and activity of sperm. Additionally, due to a decline in active substances and an increase in coagulation factors in prostatic fluid, semen discharged from the body appears gelatinous, delaying liquefaction time and hindering normal sperm activity. These factors can all affect male fertility. It is recommended to wait until you are completely cured before having children.
