The man's ability to produce sperm should be unaffected by the removal of his prostate, since the sperm is made in the testicles. Having said this, the prostate does make some of the fluid in the ejaculate (about 25-35%). So a man who has had his prostate removed may notice a decrease in the amount he ejaculates.

Also, depending on the way the prostate is removed, the nerves that feed the penis may be damaged, and though he makes sperm, may find it difficult to have an ejaculation, or even become aroused.

The answer to your question is yes, as long as the sperm and eggs are healthy.

The prostate gland produces a fluid that mixes with semen and this fluid allows the sperm to move from the man's body into the woman's body.

If the prostate is removed, the sperm can be removed similar to the way a woman's eggs are harvested.

The sperm taken from the man's body can be inserted into the woman to achieve conception, or both an egg and sperm can be harvested and conception achieved through In Vitro Fertilization.

Please contact your doctor or a fertility specialist for further consultation.

Yes. The prostate does not contain "the works" for making sperm, the testes (ball-like shapes on either side of the scrotum) do.

Can the removal of the prostate gland cause sterility?

It is remotely possible but highly unlikely that sterility would be caused through removal of the prostate gland. Far more often, prostatectomy results in impotence (inability to achieve or maintain erection) and/or incontinence (Inability to control urination). If you are faced with the prostatectomy decision, be sure you completely understand the potential unintended consequences and how they will affect your quality of life before agreeing to the procedure. There are many options. It depends. If you have your prostate removed without having radiation or chemotherapy you can still produce healthy sperm, but without the prostate you are unable to produce the fluid that is ejaculated during sex that nourishes the sperm as it makes its journey to fertilize an egg. To get pregnant, a fertility doctor will remove sperm and either implant in the female, or via IVF, the eggs will also be removed and fertilized them implanted back in the female's uterus. If you have chemo or radiation due to prostate cancer, it is possible to rendered sterile, so have sperm removed and frozen before cancer treatment, so healthy sperm can be used to fertilize an egg.

Can you get satisfaction without having testicles?

Depending on what your version of satisfaction is. If you are talking about the pleasure of an orgasm (ejaculation Per Se) then yes you can still achieve an orgasm but it may vary depending on how much semen your prostate gland is able to create. Alot of people think that semen is created in the testicles but it is not. SPERM is created in the testicles and travels up the vas deference to mix with the semen that is created by the prostate gland. so you can still ejaculate it will just be a different consistency and color.

How might enlargement of the prostate gland interfere with urination or the reproductivity ability of the male?

As the prostate enlarges, the layer of tissue surrounding it stops it from expanding, causing the gland to press against the urethra like a clamp on a garden hose. The bladder wall becomes thicker and irritable. The bladder begins to contract even when it contains small amounts of urine, causing more frequent urination.
