Prostatitis is a common male disease, in which the prostate secretes male semen. Some scientists have discovered some physical and chemical changes in the semen of patients with prostatitis. Under the influence of bacteria and bacterial toxins, semen consumes a lot of nutrients and changes the pH value of semen, increasing its viscosity. These factors can affect sperm movement and stimulate the body to produce anti-sperm antibodies, It is highly likely to directly lead to male infertility.
The relationship between prostatitis and male infertility
First, when men suffer from prostatitis, the secretion of prostatic fluid will also decrease, which will directly lead to the reduction of semen, and the body is not conducive to the survival and activity of sperm. In addition, due to the decreased activity of prostatic fluid, the sperm coagulation factor increased, resulting in the jelly like appearance of semen after being discharged from the body, which also delayed the liquefaction time of semen and blocked the normal activity of sperm. So in some male infertility, chronic prostatitis is a cause that cannot be ignored.
Secondly, when men suffer from prostatitis, the acidity and alkalinity of their semen also decrease, and the pH value of semen tends to be acidic. The most serious issue is that when the acidity and alkalinity of semen decrease to the minimum requirement of 6-6.5 for sperm, sperm will die prematurely, thereby affecting male fertility.
Thirdly, after inflammation of the prostate, there will be a large number of bacteria, as well as bacterial toxins that secrete inflammatory substances. The harmful substances secreted will consume the nutrients and oxygen in semen, thereby affecting the survival rate of sperm and causing male infertility. Of course, the relationship between chronic prostatitis and fertility has not been fully elucidated in science. In reality, it has also been found that most men with chronic prostatitis, despite their mild inflammation, have good fertility and normal sexual function. In today's medically advanced society, there is still hope for a cure for chronic prostatitis. Therefore, young people with chronic prostatitis should not worry too much.
The above are some introductions to prostatitis and male infertility. Men with prostate cancer must actively seek treatment and not have excessive psychological burden, because some doctors have found patients with prostatitis for many years in clinical practice, and their fertility has not been greatly affected. Therefore, once male friends are diagnosed with prostatitis, they should not be overly nervous or afraid of causing infertility, But it is important to go to the hospital for scientific treatment as soon as possible.
