Patient's question:
What are the causes of dead sperm? My sister and brother-in-law were high school classmates and had always had a very good relationship. However, after getting married for several years, they couldn't have children. Later, they were diagnosed with dead sperm syndrome. After learning about it, my brother-in-law felt he was burdening my sister and considered divorcing her many times, but my sister refused. What are the causes of dead sperm? How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Necrospermia refers to a decrease in sperm viability, with dead sperm accounting for more than 40%. The causes include: 1. Inflammation of the sexual reproductive organs can cause congestion, edema, blood stasis, ischemia, and hypoxia in the reproductive organs, leading to sperm death. 2. In chronic seminal colliculus inflammation, fructose secretion decreases, resulting in sperm death. 3. In testicular inflammation, epididymitis, and prostatitis, especially chronic prostatitis, secretion is affected, and trace element zinc levels decline, which then impacts sperm metabolism and leads to death. It is recommended to visit a formal specialized hospital for infertility and sterility for comprehensive examinations to identify the root cause, so that targeted treatment can be administered. Do not delay the condition, as it may affect fertility and the optimal treatment time.
