Patient's question:
Preparing for a child, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination of sperm quality. The doctor recommended taking Centrum, but after drawing a blood sample for trace element tests, it was found that there was no deficiency. Is it possible that the lack of trace elements in sperm is not the cause of low sperm motility, and that other factors are responsible? The sperm PR (A) is missing—is this considered poor sperm quality? Does this indicate severe asthenozoospermia? If I don't take medication and rely solely on regular exercise, eating more fruits and vegetables, and avoiding overtime, can it be completely cured? I hope you can help me explain the meaning of this report in detail. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, considering your physical condition, high or low environmental temperature of sperm, varicocele, reproductive tract inflammation, immune suppression, endocrine disorders, and factors such as drugs, radiation, and smoking history that affect sperm development are all related. Relying solely on dietary adjustments will never solve the problem. It is necessary to follow the guidance of a doctor, combine dietary adjustments with medication, and implement comprehensive treatment.
