Patient's question:
What are the reasons for dead sperm? My sister and brother-in-law were high school classmates and had always had a very good relationship. However, they had been married for several years without having children. Later, they were diagnosed with dead sperm syndrome. After learning about it, my brother-in-law felt he was dragging down my sister and considered divorcing her many times, but my sister refused. What are the reasons for dead sperm? How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Azoospermia refers to a decrease in sperm viability, with dead sperm accounting for more than 40%, or even most of the sperm in the semen being dead, resulting in a sperm survival rate of 0. The causes of azoospermia include:1. Inflammation of the sexual reproductive organs can cause congestion and edema in the reproductive organs, leading to blood stasis and ischemia-hypoxia, which results in sperm death.
2. In chronic seminal vesiculitis, fructose secretion decreases, leading to sperm death.
3. In testitis, epididymitis, or prostatitis, especially chronic prostatitis, the secretion is affected, and at the same time, the trace element zinc decreases, which impacts sperm metabolism and causes death.
It is recommended that you get tested promptly to confirm the condition and receive targeted, effective treatment in a timely manner. Wishing you good health!
