Yes, removing the prostate gland, often through a procedure called a prostatectomy, can significantly affect reproduction. The prostate produces a portion of the seminal fluid, which is essential for sperm transport. Consequently, men who undergo this surgery may experience infertility since they may no longer produce semen, although sperm can sometimes be retrieved directly from the testicles for assisted reproductive techniques. Additionally, the surgery can impact erectile function, further complicating reproduction.
