Patient's question:
What are the symptoms of treating infertility and subfertility? How great is the chance of being cured?Doctor's answer:
Male infertility refers to a condition where a couple has been living together for more than one year after marriage without using any contraceptive measures, and the wife is unable to conceive, with the cause or etiology occurring in the husband. In detail, it was once classified as either male infertility or male impotence. Male infertility meant that the husband could impregnate the wife, but the fetus could not survive, while male impotence meant that the husband could not impregnate the wife. The factors or etiologies leading to male infertility. Relative infertility and absolute infertility are general classification methods for male infertility patients, and this classification method is of great significance for judging the therapeutic effect and prognosis of male infertility patients. Absolute infertility refers to a patient whose fertility has been completely lost and is difficult to be cured through current treatments. For such patients, it is necessary to do psychological work, explain clearly, and advise them to adopt or use donated sperm for artificial insemination to impregnate the wife, so as to fulfill their desire to raise children. There are various different classification methods for male infertility. Some people classify male infertility based on semen test results into oligospermia, asthenozoospermia, teratozoospermia, azoospermia, etc.; others classify it as sexual dysfunction infertility, seminal abnormal infertility, azoospermia, etc. The above classification methods are either superficial or vague. Therefore, WHO has proposed a classification method based on etiological diagnosis, which is currently the most authoritative diagnostic classification method for male infertility in the world. It divides male infertility into 16 categories: (1) sexual intercourse and/or ejaculation dysfunction; (2) immunological etiology; (3) unknown etiology; (4) simple seminal abnormality; (5) iatrogenic etiology; (6) systemic etiology; (7) congenital abnormalities; (8) acquired testicular damage; (9) varicocele; (10) male accessory gland infection; (11) endocrine etiology; (12) idiopathic oligospermia; (13) idiopathic asthenozoospermia; (14) idiopathic teratozoospermia; (15) obstructive azoospermia; (16) idiopathic azoospermia. In the past, people often blamed women for infertility and did not recognize the importance of male reproduction. Expectant fathers have misconceptions about pre-pregnancy examinations. Fertility is a matter for both men and women, even if expectant mothers bear more responsibility for fertility, but it is more necessary for expectant fathers and mothers to undergo a comprehensive examination together to have a healthy baby. Through pre-pregnancy examinations, many men can quickly change bad lifestyle habits. It is reported that male semen tests can predict whether the semen is active or whether it has low sperm count and poor motility. If the sperm motility is insufficient, it is necessary to supplement nutrition; if oligospermia occurs, men should avoid bad hygiene habits, such as not smoking, excessive drinking, and not wearing tight underwear; if azoospermia occurs, the factors or etiologies should be analyzed to determine whether assisted reproductive technology should be used. It is recommended that you go to a regular hospital in your area for a check-up and timely treatment. We wish you a speedy recovery.
