Can prostatitis reduce sperm count?

Studies have found that the prostate's prostatic fluid is one of the essential hormones for sperm activity. The inflammation in the prostate will affect the secretion of prostatic fluid and then affect sperm motility, leading to male infertility.

Besides, prostatitis will lead to bacteria in prostatic fluid. Bacteria will kill sperm in the semen, and sperm in the semen will lose vitality. Therefore, chronic bacterial prostatitis can lead to reduced semen count and low sperm motility, which means that chronic prostatitis is one of the male infertility causes.
