What are the main causes of male infertility?

Patient's question:

Our first child is already several years old now, and we can have a second one. We really want to, but our bodies don't have any serious illnesses, yet we just can't get pregnant. We want to go to the hospital for a thorough check-up. My wife said, "Let's go too. We don't want it to be male infertility." What should be carefully checked in male infertility examinations? What are the main causes of male infertility?

Doctor's answer:

1, The causes of male infertility are numerous and complex. For example: abnormal semen and sperm, sexual dysfunction, ejaculation disorders, abnormal external genitalia, varicocele, testicular diseases, abnormal reproductive tract, prostatitis, etc., can all cause infertility. If a thorough examination of the sperm does not yield effective treatment, it is recommended to identify the underlying cause affecting sperm quality and seek early treatment. The seminal vesicles, epididymis, testicles, and prostate are all vital organs for sperm production. Once the urinary and reproductive system becomes inflamed, it can affect the development, motility, and transportation ability of sperm, leading to oligospermia, asthenozoospermia, necrospermia, and teratospermia, which can directly result in reduced male fertility and infertility.
2, Seek a thorough examination and treatment at a local top-tier hospital (Grade 3-A) or a higher-tier hospital. Quit smoking and alcohol, avoid unhealthy lifestyle habits, and undergo early and thorough examination and diagnosis.
