Are prostate cancer patients fertile?

Are prostate cancer patients fertile? Prostatitis is a very harmful disease. Suffering from this disease will bring serious harm to the patient's work and life, and will also affect the fertility of male patients. If the disease is not treated in time, it will affect fertility.

Male medicine experts analyzed that after suffering from prostatitis, the prostatic fluid will generally be affected, the white blood cells will increase, and the increased prostatic fluid constitutes a part of the semen. Therefore, the increase in inflammatory cells in the prostatic fluid may affect sperm function and activity, and affect fertility. Specifically, there are the following points:

1) Affects sperm motility. When prostatitis occurs, the secretion of prostatic fluid decreases, the amount of semen also decreases, and the coagulation factor increases, which is not conducive to the survival and activity of sperm. In some infertility cases, chronic prostatitis is a very important cause.

2) Reduce sperm quality. When suffering from prostatitis, the pH value of semen often decreases. When the pH value of semen drops to 6-6.5, the minimum requirement for sperm, sperm will die, which is not conducive to the normal progress of the reproductive process, thus affecting fertility.

3) Kill and 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 nutrients and oxygen in semen, thereby affecting the survival rate of sperm.
