Can you have children with prostatitis? Beware of three effects of prostatitis on sperm
Prostatitis is a disease. If it is not treated in time, it will affect people's reproductive function. Prostatitis tends to be younger, and more and more young men are beginning to worry about fertility. So, can prostatitis give birth?
Can prostatitis give birth?
Experts analyzed that there are biologically active substances closely related to the reproductive process in prostate fluid, such as fibrin protease affecting the liquefaction of sperm, hyaluronidase determining the ability of sperm to penetrate the egg, lecithin corpuscles providing essential nutrients and energy for sperm activities in semen, etc. When inflammation occurs, the production or activity of these biologically active substances decreases, which will affect the survival and quality of sperm, and affect sperm vitality
1. Affect sperm vitality
During prostatitis, the secretion of prostate fluid decreases. In some infertility, chronic prostatitis is a very important reason.
2. Decreased sperm quality
When suffering from prostatitis, the pH of semen drops. When the pH of semen drops to 6-6.5, the sperm dies, which is not conducive to the normal process of reproduction and affects fertility.
3. Kill or swallow sperm
In chronic prostatitis, there are often a large number of bacteria, bacterial toxins and inflammatory secretions in the prostatic fluid. These harmful substances can consume or swallow the nutrients and oxygen in semen, thus affecting the survival rate of sperm.
