Inablility to Ejaculate

Prostate problems can affect pregnancy in many ways. Prostate problems can strike men in their early 20s and 30s, but they are most likely to affect men over age 50. Many men with an enlarged prostate find it difficult to ejaculate. This could be very disappointing for couples wanting to start a family.

Pregnancy occurs when the sperm meets the egg, or ovum. Around ovulation, the possibility of a woman’s egg being fertilized is within a time frame of 12 to 24 hours. When the time has expired, the unfertilized ovum dissolves. If her spouse is having trouble with ejaculating, a woman’s chance of pregnancy is lost. It could take many unsuccessful attempts at intercourse to meet the time frame.

A couple must have intercourse either before or immediately after ovulation in order to make pregnancy a possibility.

Erectile Dysfunction

Many times men with prostate problems have difficulty getting erection.s No matter what stimulation techniques are applied, there is no arousal. This is a serious problem for a couples’ overall sexual performance quality as well as the woman’s hope of pregnancy.

Painful Intercouse

About 40 million men suffer from an inflamed prostate gland, called prostatitis. Men suffering from this problem will have a difficult time during intercourse. They will have a difficult time having an orgasm. Sexual performance is minimized or prevented because of the pain involved.

Infertility

If a man has to have an operation to remove an enlarged prostate, this could cause infertility. Usually it takes about six months after the operation to confirm whether a man can return to normal sexual activity. This could be a devastating dilemma for couples who want to have children.

Prostate Medications

Certain medications used for serious prostate problems can also affect a woman’s pregnancy. Medications such as Hytrin, Flomax and Prosar can cause birth defects and should not be taken around the time of sexual intercourse. Although these medications help relax and reduce prostate symptoms, it is a good idea to abstain from sexual activity until you are off of the medication.
