Patient's question:
I got married last year. At that time, I felt that I was no longer young and wanted to have a child as soon as possible. However, until now, my wife hasn't been able to get pregnant. After a thorough examination at the hospital, it was found that I have male infertility. I would like to know, what are the approximate costs for treating male infertility?Doctor's answer:
The main causes of male infertility include the following common reasons:1. Incomplete maturation or damage and thinning of the seminiferous tubule epithelium, leading to poor sperm quality and weak motility;
2. Low seminal fluid volume;
3. Variations in seminal plasma, such as when the epididymis, seminal vesicles, or prostate are inflamed, the pH, oxygen supply, nutrition, and metabolic breakdown may favor sperm movement and survival. If anti-sperm antibodies are present, they can cause sperm agglutination, thereby reducing their motility.
It is recommended that you visit a specialized hospital for a follow-up examination, undergo a comprehensive and thorough checkup, identify the underlying cause, and receive targeted treatment. Wishing you good health.
(1) Long-term cold sensation, prolonged lack of ejaculation often results in high sperm density, a high proportion of dead sperm, and poor sperm motility. This condition is considered normal, so it is advisable to refrain from ejaculation for 5–7 days before a semen analysis.
