Patient's question:
Recently, I just got a girlfriend, and during sexual intercourse, I found that I couldn't get an erection at all. Even when I did, it didn't last very long. Is my situation considered erectile dysfunction? Please ask: How can early dead sperm be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
When infected, most of the nutrients required for sperm production are consumed, or many trace elements like zinc are depleted. In addition, many sperm are dead because the germinal epithelium of the male testes fails to mature or is damaged, making it thin, which results in significantly poorer sperm quality and reduced motility.Furthermore, some men have abnormally low semen volume or semen with numerous abnormalities, such as inflammation in the epididymis, seminal vesicles, or prostate. Conditions like pH balance, oxygen supply, nutrition, and metabolic breakdown can all affect male sperm motility and survival. If anti-sperm antibodies are present, they can cause sperm to clump together, depriving them of mobility and ultimately leading to infertility.
