Infections of the male reproductive tract can lead to inflammation and tissue damage that impair fertility. Bacterial infections affecting the epididymis, testes, or prostate may disrupt sperm production or obstruct sperm transport.
Sexually transmitted infections are a particularly important cause of reproductive tract inflammation. Untreated infections may lead to scarring or blockage within the reproductive ducts.
Symptoms may include pain, swelling, fever, and urinary discomfort. However, some infections may remain asymptomatic while still affecting fertility.
Prompt diagnosis and treatment with appropriate antimicrobial therapy are essential for preventing long-term erotic complications.
