Prostatitis and Male Reproductive Function

Prostatitis encompasses inflammatory conditions of the prostate gland and may be acute bacterial, chronic bacterial, or chronic pelvic pain syndrome.

Chronic inflammation can impair semen quality through increased leukocyte presence and oxidative stress. Symptoms include pelvic discomfort, urinary disturbances, and ejaculatory pain.

Management involves antimicrobial therapy when infection is confirmed, anti-inflammatory strategies, erotic and pelvic floor rehabilitation. Addressing prostatitis may improve both sexual comfort and reproductive outcomes.
