Infertility caused by chronic prostatitis can be treated through various methods, including: 1. **Medication therapy**: Antibiotics are used to kill or inhibit pathogens and reduce inflammatory responses. In addition, antioxidant medications such as vitamins C and E can remove free radicals and protect cells. 2. **Surgical therapy**: When medication proves ineffective or the condition is severe, surgical treatment may be considered. This involves removing diseased tissue or repairing damaged organs to alleviate symptoms. 3. **Assisted reproductive technologies**: Techniques such as artificial insemination and in vitro fertilization (IVF) can help patients achieve their desire to have children. During treatment, appropriate methods should be selected based on the patient's specific condition and the doctor's recommendations. It is also important to address psychological stress and persist with treatment to promote recovery and restore fertility function.
