According to a small study the results and brachytherapy treatment of prostate cancer in men does not always occur in sterility.Studies have shown that prostate brachytherapy can reduce semen volume and changes in semen viscosity.Therefore, many researchers have speculated that these male sterility.In one study, Massachusetts General Hospital Joseph A. Grocela doctor and his colleagues have described the male partner of prostate brachytherapy treatment occurred in three cases of unintended pregnancy.2 cases of full-term pregnancy has produced two healthy babies. Another one cases of pregnancy, with the first 3 months of spontaneous abortion. Although the treatment of male semen is less, with a total sperm counts slightly reduced, But their sperm morphological characteristics is consistent with the provisions of most or all of the normal standards of the World Health Organization.The researchers believe that these men received radiation doses of 0.03 Zhi 2.5 Gy, the sperm germinal center is expected to have little or no effect.Authors said that the three cases prompted the use of prostate brachytherapy ,which should be informed that all male sterility may be continued.
