Is it possible to conceive if a man has prostatitis?

Maria: Hello. My husband has long been prostatitis, he is not particularly concerned, therefore, no cure holds. But I heard that prostatitis can strongly affect a future pregnancy (we planned the baby). Husband does not believe, and my belief that you must first undergo examination and treatment, shrugs. Am I right or really just touching base?

The answer of the doctor-doctor: Hello. You are right. Of course, do not think that the prostatitis in any (even hidden) form, just a harmless illness that disturbs 95% of the male population of the globe. Prostatitis can affect both the female and male body, a kind of chain, which can break very hard. You should know that a chronic process of prostate spreading throughout the male body, including affects the genitals, which are responsible for the production of sperm. Long hidden a chronic process without treatment leads to sclerosis of VAS deferens, thus harmful products of the inflammatory process disrupt the structure of sperm and agility of sperm.

However, if the female body gets pathogenic microflora, there is a change in the normal microflora, increases the acidity of the secretion, which prevents the normal passage of sperm in the genital tract. Triggered the development of the inflammatory process, there is a degeneration of cells of the fallopian tubes and uterus develop adhesions that prevent the movement of the egg. All this greatly restricts the occurrence of natural pregnancy, but conception can lead to miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy.
