Can I have a child if I have prostatitis?

It is not easy for a couple to go from love to marriage. It is also reasonable to want children after marriage. Every baby is the fruit of love between the couple. However, when a man suffers from prostatitis, the couple will think about whether they can have children with prostatitis. Of course, there is no absolute answer to any question. It depends on the severity and urgency of each person's illness. So, can prostatitis help you have children? What are the specific treatment methods? Let's find out together.

The question of whether chronic prostatitis affects fertility cannot be generalized. Theoretically, the prostate is an accessory gland of the human body, and its secretion, prostatic fluid, is part of semen. Inflammatory lesions will inevitably affect the composition of semen and interfere with the activity and function of sperm, thereby affecting male fertility.

In fact, scientists have indeed found changes in the physical and chemical properties of the semen of patients with chronic prostatitis. Due to the influence of bacteria and bacterial toxins, the nutrients in the semen can be consumed, the pH (acidity) value of the semen can be changed, the activity of some enzymes can be interfered with, the viscosity of the semen can be increased, the movement of sperm can be affected, and the body can be stimulated to produce anti-sperm antibodies, etc., which may affect male fertility.

Prostatitis Treatment:

(1) General treatment: Enhance confidence, eliminate mental worries, and control sexual desire, but do not force abstinence. Avoid alcohol and irritating foods, take a hot water bath once a night, perform local physical therapy, and change obvious triggering factors in life, such as avoiding long periods of cycling.

(2) Prostate massage: Regular prostate massage can promote the discharge of prostate inflammatory secretions. It should be performed once a week. At the same time, regular examination of prostate fluid can also be performed to evaluate the treatment effect.

(3) Drug infusion: insert a special balloon catheter through the urethra, inject sterile saline into the prostatic urethra and aspirate several times to remove purulent secretions, then inject antibiotics once a week.

(4) Urethral dilation: For those with urethral stenosis or obstruction, regular urinary dilation can facilitate excretion. When the bougie passes through the urethra, it can stretch the prostate opening, which is beneficial for gland drainage.

Therefore, the answer to the question of whether it is possible to have children with prostatitis is yes, but it depends on the individual's recovery during the treatment process. If it is not very serious and both husband and wife really want it, you can give it a try. If the prostatitis is very serious, it is best not to do so to avoid causing unnecessary trouble. Of course, you can also wait until there are signs of recovery after treatment.
