Patient's question:
Divorced for two years with no children, I had a thorough medical examination at the hospital, which revealed that my sperm survival rate was low and their vitality was poor, affecting my infertility. The doctor recommended taking protein and zinc supplements. However, I want to have a child sooner, so in addition to digesting the protein and zinc, I am hoping for more supportive medications. What kind of help is needed: What medications should men take for infertility?Doctor's answer:
Sperm quality issues, in addition to internal factors, also require attention to external factors, such as:1. Occupation and job type: Exposure to toxins (lead, mercury, phosphorus), radiation, high-temperature work, duration of exposure, and whether protective measures are taken; nutritional status; presence of harmful habits (smoking, alcohol consumption), etc.
2. Medical history: Past infections such as gonorrhea, mumps, tuberculosis, epididymitis, prostatitis, pyelonephritis, cystitis, or spinal cord injury; whether there are urinary difficulties, diabetes, or hypothyroidism; treatment history and outcomes.
