As we know, prostate is the biggest affiliated sexual
gland of men. It plays an important role in male reproductive system. Its secretion
of prostate fluid is the composition of semen. Therefore, if prostate is
infected, it will affect the quality of sperm. If left prostatitis untreated, it’s likely to cause infertility in men.
Actually, in semen
of chronic
prostatitis patients, they do are some changes. Due to the influences
of bacteria and viruses, the nutrition of semen is consumed and the PH value is
changed too, so the possibility for sperm to fertilize with egg is reduced.
However, there also are some men with chronic prostatitis still have excellent
reproductive ability.
What makes chronic prostatitis patients infertile?
Firstly, if a men
is infected by prostatitis, the change of prostate fluid composition makes
semen changes too, which leads to sperm hard to live and move. In addition, the
liquefy time of semen increases, so that the sperm is hard to meet with egg.
Secondly, the
normal PH value of sperm is alkaline, when the prostate fluid changes, it will
make the semen acid. However, sperm can only live in a environment that the PH
value is between 6-6.5, thus, in this acid environment, the mortality rate of sperm
will be high.
Thirdly, when
having chronic prostatitis, there are a large number of inflammatory substances
such as bacteria and viruses in prostate fluid. Those inflammatory substances can
consume the nutrition and oxygen of semen, which makes sperm can’t get enough
nutrition to live.
Since you know the
damage of prostatitis to the reproductive ability, it’s important to get timely
and radical treatment if you have been infected by this disease. Patients in
the acute phase can take antibiotics for this kind of medicine is quick and
effective on curing prostatitis. After the symptoms have disappeared, patients
should take the antibiotics for a couple of days to avoid the recurrence of the
disease. Patients in the chronic phase can take herbal medicine Diuretic andAnti-inflammatory Pill. The herbs in the pill can clear away heat and toxins,
promote the circulation of blood and Qi, promote diuresis and relieve
stranguria. Once the prostatitis is cured completely, the prostate fluid will
be normal and so does the semen. Thus, the infertility caused by prostatitis
can be cured as well.
