Hi doc, does internal hemorrhoids affect males fertility? trying to conceive?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Only if infected: Internal hemorrhoids that get infected can inflame the area next to them which includes the prostate gland(prostatitis) which provides fluids for the ejaculate and is instrumental in erection capacity. Prostatitis can lower sperm counts dramatically.
