Prostatitis causing infertility?

Can you please tell me what are signs of prostatitis and does it cause infertility? I suspect that my husband has it. He is 36 years old and we don't have kids yet, but I was hoping maybe this year. He has some symptoms but he refuses to see a doctor about it.

Prostatitis is one of potential cause of male infertility. It is an infection in the prostate gland and its symptoms range from none to urgency, painful urination, and pain during or after ejaculation, with or without pain in the prostate. It can usually be diagnosed though a physical examination and lab tests, and may be require treatment with antibiotics. Please warn him about this if you plan kids.
