Abstract: Objectives:To investigate the prevalence of chronic prostatitis (CP)in male infertility patients and its relationship with male infertility.Methods:384 patients with male infertility were selected in our hospital and all patients underwent routine semen,prostate liquid conventional detection and bacterial culture.According to detection results,patients were divided into two groups,non -CP group of 212 cases and CP group of 172 cases. The correlation between male infertility and chronic prostatitis were analyzed.Results:172 out of the 384 patients with male infertility were diagnosed as chronic prostatitis with a prevalence rate of 44.8%;The semen liquefaction time,sperm malformation rate in the CP group were significantly higher than those in the non -CP group,while the sperm a +b activity,sperm density,sperm motility in the CP group were significantly lower than those in the non -CP group,with statistically significant difference (P <0.05).Conclusions:Chronic prostatitis,an induced factor for male infertility,can affect the semen liquefaction time,sperm density and sperm motility and etc.
