Patient's question:
My distant cousin, after getting married, has never had children. The family says it's because he doesn't have sperm. I want to know what's going on with this. I want to ask what happens when a man doesn't have sperm?Doctor's answer:
Sperm is unique to males and is produced by the testicles. If a patient lacks sperm, it indicates that their testicles are not functioning, leading to infertility. However, there are many possible causes for this. It is recommended that the patient undergo further tests to identify the specific cause. If varicocele is detected, surgical treatment may be necessary. On the other hand, if the issue is due to organic damage to the testicles, it cannot be cured. Further examinations should consider whether there are problems with the prostate or the vas deferens.
