Does prostatitis affect sperm quality?

Prostatitis is a common disease. Many male friends around us have suffered from prostatitis. This disease is very harmful to men. It not only affects male function, but also has a certain impact on the whole body. Therefore, if a male friend has a prostate disease, he must go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time. Don't delay, and don't avoid going to the hospital because of shyness. This will make it more and more serious. So does the prostate affect the quality of sperm? Let's take a look together.

The relationship between prostate and sperm:

Sperm and seminal plasma are mixed to form semen. There are many sperms, which are living cells existing in the seminiferous tubules of the testicles. Seminal plasma is composed of testicular fluid, prostatic fluid, urethral gland fluid, etc., among which prostatic fluid accounts for a considerable proportion of semen. When the prostate is inflamed, the quality of prostatic fluid will change, interfering with the survival and activity of sperm. Therefore, prostatitis will affect the quality of sperm.

Effects of prostatitis on sperm quality:

1. Reduce the survival rate of sperm. The prostatic fluid secreted by the prostate is a component of semen and provides nutrients for sperm. If inflammation occurs, the prostatic fluid will also contain a large amount of bacteria and bacterial toxins due to the presence of inflammation, which can consume the nutrients in the semen and thus affect the survival of sperm.

2. Reduce sperm motility. When the prostate becomes inflamed, the activity of enzymes in the prostatic fluid will decrease, prolonging the liquefaction time of semen and hindering the activity of sperm.

3. Kill sperm. Prostate inflammation can cause the body to produce anti-sperm antibodies, which have a killing effect on sperm.

In traditional Chinese medicine, prostatitis is considered to be caused by dampness and heat in the lower part of the body, and the corresponding treatment is to clear away heat and promote dampness. As for pain, traditional Chinese medicine believes that if the circulation is unobstructed, there will be no pain, and if there is pain, it is due to obstruction. This is mainly due to qi stagnation and blood stasis, and the treatment requires the use of blood-activating and stasis-removing prescriptions.

Diuretic and anti-inflammatory pills have no side effects and can eliminate inflammation. The use of blood circulation, qi activating and pain relieving effects can effectively promote the circulation of prostate blood, eliminate blood stasis and pain. Diuretics are used for symptoms such as frequent urination and urgency. The effect of comprehensive medication is more significant. If the patient can do the corresponding contraindications during the medication period, he can generally be cured in 1-3 courses of treatment.

The above is all about how the prostate affects sperm quality. Based on the above understanding, we know that the prostate will affect sperm quality. Therefore, if male friends have not yet given birth and suffer from prostate disease, they must go to the hospital for diagnosis immediately and do not miss the best time for treatment. If it affects future fertility, you will regret it very much.
