    Whether prostatitis can cause infertility needs to be judged based on the specific situation.

    1. No

    Prostatitis is a common disease among men. It may be caused by pathogenic infection, or it may be caused by factors such as prolonged sitting, spicy food and alcohol, irregular sexual life, etc. If the patient's symptoms are mild and treated aggressively, the prognosis is better and it usually does not lead to infertility.

    2. Will

    If the patient's condition is serious and the patient is not actively treated after the onset, it will lead to loss of sexual desire and erectile dysfunction. It will also reduce the secretion of prostatic fluid from the prostate, which can easily lead to a weakening of the semen liquefaction function and may lead to infertility.
