Patient's question:
A week ago, I suddenly found that there was no semen after sex, it was dry. I'm only 55 now, at what age do men stop producing sperm?Doctor's answer:
As men age, the quality of sperm may decline, but this does not lead to the disappearance of semen. As long as the testicular function is normal, semen will continue to be produced. Currently, if a man experiences the disappearance of semen, it is generally due to issues with testicular function or blockages in the vas deferens. This requires further examination to confirm the diagnosis. A scrotal ultrasound can be performed, and blood tests for the six major sex hormones can also be conducted to check for low testosterone levels. If the tests show low testosterone levels, testosterone therapy can be administered. If the tests reveal vas deferens blockages, and there are no current fertility requirements, no special treatment is necessary.
