In recent years, the incidence rate of prostatitis is getting higher and higher, and its harmfulness is also getting more and more attention. As we all know, prostatitis can cause frequent urination, urgency of urination, even depression and other symptoms that make people miserable. However, people still have doubts about the impact of prostatitis on fertility. Today Chaoyang Health will give you a detailed analysis of what harm prostatitis will cause to male fertility!
Why does prostatitis cause infertility?
1. When men suffer from chronic prostatitis, there are often a large number of microorganisms in prostate fluid, as well as internal and external toxins produced by them, as well as inflammatory secretions generated by the body. These substances can consume nutrients and oxygen in semen, thereby affecting sperm survival.
2. Prostatitis patients often have serious psychological problems due to stress and anxiety. When their wife cannot conceive for a long time, the psychological problems will become more serious. This will affect male reproductive and sexual functions, making infertility more persistent and difficult to heal.
3. If prostatitis persists for a long time, it can spread to the seminal vesicles, epididymis, and even testes, which will fundamentally affect the production and quality of sperm.
4. When inflammation occurs in the prostate, its secretion decreases significantly, resulting in a significant decrease in semen volume. In this way, it is not conducive to the survival and activity of sperm. Moreover, due to the decrease in the activity of some enzymes in prostate fluid, the activity of factors that promote semen coagulation is relatively increased, and the ejaculated semen appears gelatinous. "Prolonged non liquefaction of semen can interfere with the normal activity of sperm in the female reproductive tract, resulting in infertility.".
5. Due to the presence of a large amount of inflammatory secretions, the pH value of semen will change accordingly, resulting in acidic semen. When in an inflammatory state, sperm is easily killed, leading to infertility.
Warm Tips for Chaoyang Health
From the above discussion, it is not difficult to see that chronic prostatitis may indeed have an impact on fertility, but the fact shows that the vast majority of patients with chronic prostatitis in clinical practice not only have normal sexual function, but also have normal fertility. Only a few patients with chronic prostatitis, with strong local inflammatory reactions and severe clinical symptoms, can have an impact on fertility through the above channels. Therefore, readers and friends need not worry too much about this issue, as long as the prostatitis is treated confidently and formally.
