Prostatitis and male infertility: evidence and links

Richard A Schoor. Curr Urol Rep. 2002 Aug.

Abstract

Prostatitis and infertility are common disorders in men and many researchers have investigated a possible link between the two disorders. After almost 3 decades of research the answer to this question remains unknown, although ample evidence exists to support a relationship between male infertility and prostatitis. This paper discusses this evidence and then derives a rational treatment approach to the man with infertility and prostatitis.
