Sexual prostatitis can cause male infertility, do you know? Prostatitis is a male disease that causes problems for many male patients. Everyone may know that prostatitis is divided into acute and chronic, and most of chronic prostatitis is caused by acute prostatitis. Do you know the harm of chronic prostatitis? How does chronic prostatitis cause male infertility? Let me introduce it to you today.
Once the prostate is invaded by bacteria or other factors, it will often lead to chronic prostatitis, bacterial non-bacterial prostatitis, prostate hypertrophy, prostate pain, prostate cyst, prostate cancer. If not treated in time, it can cause other urinary system diseases, causing frequent urination, slow urination, impotence, premature ejaculation, sexual dysfunction and other problems, and even lead to physical and mental suffering of patients Leading to family disharmony, etc.
(1) Changes in semen composition:
Seminal plasma contains a certain amount of nutrients to support sperm and help sperm movement. In chronic prostatitis, some bacteria and inflammatory cells may be mixed in the seminal plasma, and lactic acid substances may also increase. Bacterial toxins and metabolites are also excreted in the seminal plasma. The survival of bacteria and inflammatory cells also consume a large amount of nutrients and oxygen, making the living environment of sperm extremely bad, so it is not possible to give full play to its fertility.
(2) Cause changes in hypothalamus-pituitary gonadal axis:
Symptoms of the mental nervous system are often common in patients with chronic prostate disease, especially those who have not recovered for a long time. Patients may have mental and psychological problems and changes in personality characteristics. Patients may have insomnia, dreaminess, dizziness, memory loss, inattention, fatigue and weakness, anxiety, and mental depression. These symptoms can lead to changes in the hypothalamus-pituitary gonadal axis, and can cause the increase of apoptotic death of germ cells and sperm, which can significantly affect fertility.
(3) Can chronic prostatitis lead to male infertility
Chronic epididymitis, epididymal fibrosis, nodule formation, vasculitis, obstruction of ejaculatory orifice and other changes in the output duct caused by prostatitis cause partial difficulty in ejaculation, or complete obstructive azoospermia, resulting in male infertility.
(4) Increased semen viscosity and abnormal semen liquefaction:
When the prostate has chronic inflammation, the activity or secretion of a large number of liquefied enzymes in the prostatic fluid decreases, the coagulation factor increases relatively, and the seminal plasma may contain bacteria, a large number of white blood cells, or even a large number of pus, which makes the semen not easy to liquefy, and the viscosity of the semen will also increase significantly, which is detrimental to the normal activity of sperm.
(5) Changes in semen pH:
The ph value of normal semen is 7. 2～7。 8. Sperm can survive well and move freely under such pH. In chronic prostatitis, the acidic substances in seminal plasma will increase, resulting in a decrease in the pH value, and the seminal plasma will be acidic. When the pH value decreases to the ph value 6, which is the minimum requirement for sperm survival. 0～6。 At 5, sperm will die prematurely, which is not conducive to the normal process of reproduction; The white blood cells in the prostatic fluid will also increase the ph value of the prostatic fluid, and thus change the pH of the seminal plasma, which is not conducive to the survival of sperm.
Male friends, through the above analysis and introduction, it is now clear that prostatitis can cause male infertility, which also reminds the friends of prostatitis patients to hurry up treatment to avoid a series of hazards and bring more serious impact on the family.
