Patient's question:
I really like children. Last week, I had an argument with my wife about this issue. We've been married for 5 years. Due to work reasons, I didn't want children, but now that things are stable, I want to have them. However, I realize that something might be wrong with me, and I don't know what to do. Can male infertility be cured?Doctor's answer:
Can male infertility be cured? To cure male infertility, the following principles should be followed:(1) Break bad habits and improve physical fitness. Patients should quit smoking, drinking, and avoid spicy foods. Establish a healthy routine in daily life, enhance nutrition, consume more zinc and selenium-rich foods (zinc and selenium tablets), and engage in moderate physical exercise.
(2) Couples should cooperate. Maintain a moderate, effective, and harmonious sex life. Avoid impatience when treating infertility. Both partners should work closely together, monitor the wife's ovulation period, and increase sexual intercourse appropriately before and after ovulation to improve the chances of conception.
(3) Follow a doctor's reasonable treatment. Infertility is a difficult-to-treat condition, so avoid relying on hearsay or taking unproven supplements. Treatment should be carried out under the guidance of a specialist. Surgical treatment should be performed for suitable patients, and medication should be taken persistently for those who benefit from it. Advanced methods such as artificial insemination may be necessary when needed. If treatment is truly hopeless, adoption procedures can be handled according to legal procedures.
