Yes, male urogenital infection such as prostatitis can affect the erectile function. It seems that you have been evaluated so please continue to follow with your doctor for a definite plan. Good luck.

Bacteria in the ejaculate is a rarity and possibly a contamination from the outer urinary tube or acquired during collection. Bacteria in sperm does not cause ED as erection mechanism is not related to sperms - which come out at the climax of ejaculation. So no connection. Good idea to get another sample with precaution to avoid contamination. For RD pl see a Urologist. Good luck
