Can prostatitis affect fertility?
Patients with prostatitis can still be fertile. There are various types of prostatitis, with chronic nonbacterial prostatitis being more common in clinical settings. This type of prostatitis generally does not affect the quality of male semen and does not significantly impact fertility, so there is no need to be overly concerned about fertility issues. However, in the case of bacterial prostatitis, it is possible to culture prostatic fluid and perform susceptibility testing to identify the pathogenic microorganisms causing bacterial prostatitis and the antibiotics they are sensitive to. Active treatment with sensitive antibiotics should be undertaken regularly. Once the bacteria are eradicated, it is then possible to proceed with normal pregnancy planning. Regular physical exercise should be emphasized, avoiding prolonged sitting and holding urine, and consuming a light diet can effectively prevent the occurrence of prostatitis.
