Prostate infertility

Nowadays, many male friends suffer from prostatitis due to uncontrolled sexual life and excessive masturbation. Prostatitis can cause male infertility, mainly because the prostate is one of the places where sperm is secreted, which can reduce the vitality of sperm in semen and cause infertility. Therefore, when men develop prostatitis, they should receive treatment immediately to avoid infertility.

reason

Due to the large amount of inflammatory secretions, the pH value of semen will change accordingly, making the semen acidic. Under normal circumstances, semen is slightly alkaline, which is beneficial to the activity of sperm. When in an inflammatory state, sperm can easily "die", resulting in insufficient sperm reaching the fallopian tubes of women, causing infertility.

When men suffer from chronic prostatitis, there are often a large number of microorganisms and the internal and external toxins produced by them, as well as inflammatory secretions produced by the body, in the prostatic fluid. These substances will consume nutrients and oxygen in the semen, thereby affecting the survival of sperm. This hazard will be more prominent in prostatitis caused by non-specific microorganisms such as chlamydia and mycoplasma infection.

Patients with prostatitis often have serious psychological problems due to tension and anxiety. When the wife cannot get pregnant for a long time, the psychological problems will be more serious. These psychological pressures accumulate in the heart for a long time, which will lead to disorders of nerve and endocrine function, and will cause symptoms such as Yin deficiency and Yang hyperactivity, Qi and Yin deficiency, Yin and Yang imbalance, and liver and kidney deficiency. All of this will greatly affect the male's spermatogenesis and sexual function, making infertility more prolonged and difficult to cure.

Impact on fertility

1. Chronic prostatitis often causes sexual dysfunction, such as loss of libido, impotence, premature ejaculation, frequent spermatorrhea, hematospermia, painful ejaculation, etc.;

2. The secretion of prostatic fluid decreases, which leads to a decrease in semen volume, increased viscosity, and prolonged liquefaction time after discharge, affecting the survival and vitality of sperm;

3. Bacteria, toxins and inflammatory secretions in prostatic fluid can consume oxygen and nutrients in semen, threatening the survival of sperm;

4. The majority of bacteria that cause prostatitis are E. coli and mycoplasma, which can cause sperm agglutination, decreased motility, decreased sperm count and increased abnormal sperm;

5. In prostatitis, zinc concentration decreases and sperm motility decreases.
