Patient's question:
I have been married for two years, but my wife and I still do not have any children. We don't want to delay any longer, so we went to the hospital for check-ups in August this year. The results showed that my wife is normal, but I am not. The doctor said my test results indicated a Y chromosome microdeletion, which is why my wife is infertile.Doctor's answer:
Hello, severe oligospermia caused by Y chromosome microdeletion: Male offspring of Y chromosome microdeletion patients may also have Y chromosome microdeletions and may face fertility issues. Currently, there is no effective method, but you can choose IVF-3 (third-generation in vitro fertilization) to select female offspring, but the cost is about 50,000 yuan, with a success rate of about 5%. Alternatively, you can choose not to select the gender of offspring, but there is a risk of male offspring infertility. Specific decisions should be discussed with your attending physician.
