Patient's question:
I have been married for five years. Due to work reasons, I had not had children before, and in the past year, I tried to have a child but kept failing. Under various pressures, both my wife and I went to the hospital for check-ups. My wife's results were normal, but my semen analysis showed 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 options for azoospermia?Doctor's answer:
Azoospermia is generally classified into two types: one is a functional disorder of the testes itself, known as primary azoospermia or non-obstructive azoospermia. The other is normal testicular sperm production function, but due to blocked spermatic ducts, sperm cannot be expelled from the body, which is called obstructive azoospermia. If it is the first case, then it lacks reproductive ability. If it is the second case, testicular aspiration 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, or 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 can also be helpful.
