Patient's question:
Three months without contraception and not pregnant, and also tested negative for ovulation during the ovulation period with ovulation test strips. Should I go to the hospital for a check-up? Thank you for your reply!Doctor's answer:
Hello, if a couple (male and female) lives together and has normal sexual activity for more than a year without using any form of contraception and remains childless, it is referred to as infertility. The causes of infertility are complex and varied, and they can be attributed to either the female partner or the male partner.The causes of male infertility include:
1. Abnormal semen
2. Oligospermia (low sperm count), azoospermia (no sperm)
3. Asthenozoospermia (weak sperm), necrospermia (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, urological and genital ultrasound, immune factor tests, etc.
It is recommended that you choose a regular and professional infertility hospital for treatment. Before treatment, it is essential to clearly identify the cause and receive symptomatic treatment. Regular and professional infertility hospitals strictly adhere to the pricing standards set by the municipal price bureau for any fees, ensuring effective treatment.
