Patient's question:
Brother and sister-in-law have been divorced for three years now, but they still haven't had any children. This has made everyone very worried, especially my parents, who have been constantly urging me. The pressure they put on me is quite heavy, and they even asked me to talk to sister-in-law. When I did, sister-in-law said that brother has low sperm count. What kind of help is needed: How should male infertility with low sperm count be treated?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, the main causes of oligozoospermia and asthenozoospermia include: inflammation of organs such as the epididymis, seminal vesicles, and prostate leading to seminal plasma abnormalities, which affect sperm motility and survival. Varicocele, where local testicular hypoxia occurs due to venous blood reflux obstruction, resulting in reduced sperm motility. Deficiency of trace elements affects sperm motility. Insufficient semen volume affects sperm movement. The production of antisperm antibodies in the body causes sperm agglutination or immobilization. It is recommended to consult an endocrinology specialist. Diagnosis of the cause and targeted treatment can resolve the issue.
