Patient's question:
My husband has infertility, but due to social pressures, he is unwilling to seek treatment. I would like to consult on how to treat male infertility?Doctor's answer:
Azoospermia refers to sperm with weak or completely no motility. In reality, although sperm that are on the verge of dying are still alive, they are completely immobile and have completely lost their fertilization capability. Therefore, dead sperm are definitely immobile, but not all immobile sperm are dead sperm. In clinical diagnosis, it is often inferred whether sperm are on the verge of dying or still alive based on their motility. As a result, the azoospermia detected in tests usually actually includes a small portion of immobile sperm that have not yet reached the point of dying. Causes of azoospermia include reproductive tract infections, a lack of nutrients essential for sperm survival, and other factors that affect the function of the epididymis and testes, thereby impairing sperm vitality.
