Patient's question:
The sperm count is almost zero. After taking medicine for two months, during the re-examination, a few sperm were found. The doctor recommended cryopreservation. Next month, the doctor said they would extract a small portion of these sperm. These sperm are for artificial insemination or IVF. My body has been thoroughly checked with no problems. Please give some advice. Besides artificial insemination, how many sperm are required?Doctor's answer:
Under normal circumstances, the success rate of natural childbirth is approximately 20%. While artificial insemination brings sperm closer to the fallopian tubes, the success rate does not significantly surpass that of natural conception with healthy sperm due to poor sperm quality. The success rate of in vitro fertilization (IVF) is higher than that of artificial insemination. Some people may prefer to undergo artificial insemination first before considering IVF if they are reluctant to proceed directly with IVF. The above suggestions are in response to the question "Sperm count is almost zero after taking medicine for two months with no improvement?" and are hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
