In theory, chronic prostatitis can have a certain impact on fertility, but it does not mean that having prostatitis does not prevent fertility. This is also based on a comprehensive evaluation after a male examination and routine semen analysis. After all, clinically, prostatitis is more severe, and there are many people whose sexual and reproductive abilities are not affected at all.
Can prostatitis give birth?
Can a man get prostatitis and be fertile?
Prostatitis can affect fertility because prostate fluid is a component of semen. When pathogenic microorganisms and inflammatory secretions in the current glandular fluid are mixed into semen, they can affect the survival rate and vitality of sperm. Moreover, the impact of inflammation can also lead to changes in the acidity and alkalinity of semen, abnormal liquefaction function, increased viscosity, and possible immune problems, all of which can reduce male fertility.
Prostatitis affects fertility, mainly manifested in:
Some inappropriate treatments for chronic prostatitis can also harm fertility issues.
Prostatitis can easily lead to prostate neurosis, similar to neurasthenia, which endangers sexual life and can have a certain impact on fertility.

5. Affecting the function of the prostate, such as insufficient protein that secretes liquefied semen, leading to liquefaction disorders and affecting fertility.
On the other hand, the process of sperm production and maturation is strictly unrelated to the prostate gland. "Because sperm is produced in the seminiferous tubules of the testis under the control of reproductive hormones, it is then transported to the epididymis, where it remains for 18 days, and gradually matures.". In other words, azoospermia, oligozoospermia, or sperm abnormalities are not related to the prostate gland.
Can prostatitis be fertile? There is no absolute answer to this question. It should also be determined according to the specific situation of the patient, but it can be certain that once suffering from prostatitis, it will definitely have an impact on fertility. If left unchecked, it will worsen the symptoms and be even more detrimental to fertility. Therefore, if prostatitis is detected, it is necessary to adhere to treatment to prevent recurrence, which is more conducive to fertility.
