chlamydial
prostatitis is the main cause of infertility and sexual dysfunction in men.
1. The symptoms of chlamydial prostatitis
Chlamydial prostatitiswhich is induced by chronic Chlamydia infection is a worldwide stubborn disease. The patients with the illness have a rather miserable life.
The urinary tractwill be firstly infected by chlamydia. Men with urinary infection would have the symptoms of chlamydial urethritis, such as frequent urination, urgent urination, burning micturition, or dysuria. If chlamydial urethritis is not cured timely, that's to say, chlamydia doesn't turn negative, the prostate will be infected. Chlamydia stimulates the prostate gland, which will lead to edema and hypertrophy in the prostate and decrease in lecithin, and the patients will have the symptoms from both of urethritis and prostatitis. The main clinical manifestations of chlamydial prostatitis include testicular pain, perineum bulge, lower abdominal distension, ejaculation pain, dripping white, blood sperm, low survival rate of sperm, nonliquefaction of semen, etc.
2.Complications of chlamydial prostatitis
Since male urethra, the prostate gland, seminal vesicle, and epididymal interlinked, men with chlamydial prostatitis often have chlamydial urethritis, chlamydial
epididymitis or chlamydial
seminal vesiculitis.
The infection of seminal vesicles and testes by chlamydia will affect the quality of the sperms and semen, leading to decline in vitality of the sperms, dead sperms, oligospermia and azoospermia. And the rate of the deformity of the sperms will be increased.
Since the prostate gland is very close to seminal duct and seminal vesicle, and the ejaculatory ducts enter the prostate gland from the upper part of the gland, and ending in the gland, the infection of the proatate gland by chlamydia will affect sexual function. And it can also lead to azoospermia due to obstruction in seminal duct.
Male chlamydial prostatitis could be complicated by epididymitis,
orchitis, male infertility. Therefore, chlamydial prostatitis is the main cause of infertility and sexual dysfunction in men.
