Patient's question:
I've been married for 3 years, but we haven't had any children yet. Recently, my wife and I went for a check-up, and she showed no signs of infertility. Now I'm starting to wonder if I might have infertility issues. I've been thinking about getting checked in a few weeks to find out.Doctor's answer:
Hello: If male infertility is caused by abnormal sperm, a routine semen analysis should be performed first. There are multiple factors that can affect sperm, including:1. Urinary and reproductive system infections such as prostatitis.
2. Varicocele.
3. Endocrine disorders.
4. Antisperm antibodies.
5. Deficiency of trace elements.
6. Testicular disorders: abnormal testicles, testicular injury, orchitis, epididymitis, impaired spermatogenesis, and environmental factors.
