Relationship between acute prostatitis and infertility
The prostate is the largest accessory gonad in men, and the prostate fluid it secretes is one of the main components of semen. Normal prostate fluid contains a large amount of citric acid and phosphatase, making it weakly acidic.
It also contains many trace elements and amino acids, such as sodium, potassium, calcium, chlorine, zinc, etc. Zinc plays an important role in maintaining the normal vitality of sperm. The proteolytic enzyme contained in the prostate gland can rapidly liquefy semen after ejection from the body.
Reductase can convert testosterone into dihydrotestosterone with stronger physiological activity, promoting testicular spermatogenesis. When suffering from prostatitis, not only will there be more serious sexual dysfunction, such as impotence, premature ejaculation, and the quality of semen also severely decreased.
Therefore, the relationship between male acute prostatitis and infertility is closely linked. If it goes wrong, it will affect the family's plan to create a person. Male friends must pay attention to it to avoid affecting themselves and the family.
