Patient's question:
Hello, my wife and I have been married for 3 years. Up to now, we haven't had any children. A while ago, I had a semen analysis done at the hospital. The test report showed that the number of live sperm in my semen was zero. Later, I had it checked again twice, and the results were the same. In the end, it was diagnosed as asthenozoospermia. I want to ask, what causes asthenozoospermia? How should it be treated? What causes the occurrence of asthenozoospermia?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the main cause of male oligospermia is primarily caused by infections in the male reproductive and urinary system. After sperm are produced in the seminiferous tubules of the testes, they first enter the epididymis, and then travel through the vas deferens to the seminal vesicles. The seminal vesicles secrete seminal fluid, which contains nutrients essential for the survival of sperm. Bacteria in the urethra often infiltrate the prostate, seminal vesicles, vas deferens, epididymis, and testes through the ejaculatory duct, causing inflammatory lesions and leading to conditions such as prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, vas deferens inflammation, and epididymitis. When bacteria multiply in the reproductive tract, they secrete harmful substances that damage sperm. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
