However, infertility caused by prostatitis is rare, and most of the patients with prostatitis have normal fertility. Chronic prostatitis can be divided into chronic bacterial and chronic non bacterial.

Finally, chronic abacterial prostatitis accounted for 90% - 95%. Therefore, the vast majority of prostatitis is not bacterial infection, will not cause infection, will not affect pregnancy. Chronic prostatitis may cause infertility. The common reason is the decline of prostate secretion function, which leads to the decrease of the secretion of enzymes (hyaluronidase, trypsin like enzyme, etc.) related to semen liquefaction, resulting in semen liquefaction or incomplete liquefaction, thus affecting fertility.
