Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I would like to ask about the precautions for a sperm check. I have been married to my wife for 3 years and we haven't had any children yet. My wife has been checked and there are no issues, so I plan to go to the hospital for a check-up soon. Could you please tell me what preparations are needed for a man's sperm check? Are there any precautions to take when getting a sperm check at the hospital?Doctor's answer:
Sperm density below 20 million/mL is considered oligospermia. The treatment of oligospermia should first identify the underlying cause and then proceed with targeted therapy. Elevated scrotal temperature, nutritional imbalances, damage from smoking and alcohol, drug-induced damage, diseases, and testicular injury are all potential causes of oligospermia and should be avoided. Individuals with endocrine disorders can increase sperm production by regulating their endocrine system. Under the guidance of a doctor, treatments such as intramuscular injections of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), human chorionic gonadotropin (HMG), and testosterone enanthate may be used. Deficiencies in trace elements like zinc and vitamin E are also important causes of oligospermia and can be appropriately supplemented.
