Patient's question:
I have been married for five years. Due to work reasons, I had not had children before. In the past year, I tried to have a child but kept failing. Under various pressures, my wife and I went to the hospital for check-ups. Everything was normal with my wife, but my semen analysis revealed no sperm. The doctor then asked me to come back in a week for another test, which also showed no sperm. After about three semen analyses, the doctor confirmed that I have azoospermia. What are the treatment methods for azoospermia?Doctor's answer:
Azoospermia is generally classified into two types: one is testicular dysfunction itself, known as primary azoospermia or non-obstructive azoospermia. The other is normal testicular sperm production function, but due to obstructed spermatic ducts, sperm cannot be expelled from the body, known as obstructive azoospermia. If it is the first case, then reproductive ability is not present. If it is the second case, testicular puncture can be performed to extract sperm for artificial insemination. After suffering from asthenozoospermia or necrozoospermia, it is important to take medication actively while paying attention to daily life details. Avoid alcohol and smoking, staying up late, wearing tight elastic underwear, and taking hot baths. It is recommended to eat more lamb, chives, walnuts, mulberries, etc. You can also take zinc sulfate syrup, tamoxifen tablets, and the Chinese herbal medicine Wuzi Yanzong Wan, which is also helpful.
