Patient's question:
Three months without contraception and not pregnant, using ovulation test strips during ovulation period but still unable to detect ovulation. Should I go to the hospital for a check-up? Thank you for your reply!Doctor's answer:
Hello, infertility refers to a condition where a couple (male and female) living together and having normal sexual intercourse for more than one year without using any contraception remains childless.

1. Abnormal semen
2. Oligozoospermia (low sperm count), azoospermia (no sperm)
3. Asthenozoospermia (weak sperm), necrozoospermia (dead sperm)
4. Undeveloped testicles, epididymitis
5. Varicocele
6. Other factors: prostate diseases, sexual dysfunction (erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation), etc.
The main examination items for male infertility include: semen analysis, prostate fluid examination, urogenital ultrasound, immune factor tests, etc.
