Male Physiology - Can Chronic Prostatitis Result in Infertility?

Physiologically, the prostate is an almond-sized muscle gland that surrounds the male urethra and can secrete a certain fluid. The urethra is the tube that carries urine and semen out of the body, while the prostate gland provides nutrients for semen, keeps sperm alive, and protects them and the genetic code they carry, which plays a crucial role in male reproduction. The prostate gland contracts and squirts its fluid into the urethra during ejaculation, closing the opening between the bladder and urethra at the same time as ejaculation, and rapidly pushing semen through. This is why it is impossible to urinate and ejaculate at the same time. How is chronic prostatitis caused? If you have pelvic area or genital pain, and have difficulty in urinating, accompanied by urination pain or ejaculation pain for months, you have to get yourself checked in the hospital and you may have been approached by chronic prostatitis.

Can chronic prostatitis result in infertility?
