Patient's question:
I have been married to my wife for a year, and we have always wanted a child but never used any contraception. However, we haven't been able to conceive. Our family is very concerned about my wife, and she has gone to the hospital for a thorough examination. Now, I am under a lot of pressure and would like the doctor to explain it in detail. What are the tests for male infertility?Doctor's answer:
Tests for Male Infertility1. Microbiological Examination
Infections of the male urinary and reproductive systems often lead to male infertility. The pathogens associated with these infections include bacteria, viruses, spirochetes, mycoplasmas, and chlamydiae. Common examples are Neisseria gonorrhoeae, human papillomavirus (HPV), ureaplasma, and Chlamydia trachomatis.
2. Genetic Testing
Chromosome and gene analysis is of great significance for individuals with existing sex chromosome abnormalities or other hereditary genetic defects, azoospermia and severe oligozoospermia, a family history of genetic diseases, and couples with recurrent miscarriages.
