Patient's question:
What are the things to pay attention to when checking sperm? I have been married to my wife for several years, but we have never used contraception together, and my wife has not become pregnant. I suspect I may have infertility. At my friend's suggestion, I was recommended to have a semen test, specifically to understand what precautions are needed for a sperm check.Doctor's answer:
Hello, moderate masturbation can help relieve stress, but frequent masturbation can easily lead to prolonged congestion of the urinary and reproductive systems, a decline in local immunity, and conditions such as prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, and epididymitis. Additionally, masturbation itself can reduce sexual sensitivity, potentially causing issues like weak erections, habitual rapid ejaculation, premature ejaculation, and impotence, which can then affect normal semen quality and often result in infertility. Since you are still young, I recommend avoiding ejaculation for 3-7 days, avoiding fatigue and staying up late, and seeking medical advice at a reputable public tertiary hospital's urology department. Under the guidance of experts, undergo relevant examinations to confirm the diagnosis and receive targeted treatment to avoid impacting your health and future fertility.
