Chronic prostatitis can lead to infertility

Chronic prostatitis will affect fertility, At present there is no clear understanding, some patients with prostatitis symptoms are very heavy, but still can have, but from a theoretical point of view, when there are prostate inflammation occurs, the volume of semen and sperm quality and the composition will be affected, which could cause sterile. Therefore, the question should be a dialectical view.
First, we should understand that when inflammation in the prostate, prostatic fluid secretion was reduced, thereby reducing the volume of semen, it interferes with sperm survival and activities while in the prostatic fluid enzyme activity decreased semen viscosity increase, liquefied time extension. In addition, the inflammatory presence of semen can also lower the pH value, and the body produce anti-sperm antibodies to sperm death. Because of inflammation in prostatic fluid contains a lot of the presence of bacteria and bacterial toxins, the nutritional content of seminal plasma consumption, thereby affecting sperm viability.
From the above discourse is not difficult to see patients suffering from chronic prostatitis may indeed have an impact on fertility, but clinical cases, the majority of patients with chronic prostatitis fertility is normal, although a small number of patients at the same time the merger sterile, but it should be recognized that caused infertility has many causes, such as too much emphasis on chronic prostatitis often overlook other reasons, thus delaying treatment time, it may unnecessarily increase the patients the fear of this disease. If both spouses by the system checks found no other reasons for infertility caused, but also should not be too tight, because of chronic prostatitis can be completely cured.
