Acute prostatitis: the incidence of more tired, cold, long time riding, drinking, excessive sex life, injury, transurethral instrument operation, systemic or local weakened resistance, pathogenic bacteria from other parts of the body lesions through blood or transurethral into the prostate, the main pathogenic bacteria are Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus, Proteus and Streptococcus, etc. Now let's talk about whether chronic prostatitis can affect fertility.

Can chronic prostatitis affect fertility

First of all: chronic prostatitis caused by chronic epididymitis, epididymal fibrosis, nodule formation, vasectomy, ejaculatory duct obstruction and other changes in the output pipeline, resulting in partial ejaculation difficulties, or complete obstructive azoospermia, resulting in male infertility.

Secondly: after the attack of prostatitis, if it is not treated in time, it is easy to appear some abnormal phenomena, which can cause chronic epididymitis, epididymal fibrosis, nodule formation, vas deferens, ejaculatory duct obstruction and other output pipeline will also have certain changes, resulting in partial ejaculation difficulty or complete obstructive azoospermia, and eventually lead to male infertility.

Finally: long term chronic inflammation can change the composition of prostatic fluid, affect the secretion function of prostate, and then affect the liquefaction time of semen, decrease the sperm motility, which can lead to male infertility.
