Does male infertility require surgery?

Patient's question:

I have been married to my wife for 3 years, and we have never had children. Last month, under the urging of my mother-in-law, I went to the hospital for a check-up. The results showed that it was my problem—I have male infertility. I am really frustrated and also feel very self-conscious. Is surgery required for male infertility?

Doctor's answer:

Common male infertility conditions that require surgical treatment include. Genital malformations or abnormal development of the vas deferens, such as common conditions like cryptorchidism, urethral stricture, and pediatric hypospadias. Varicocele has a high incidence rate in male infertility and requires surgical treatment such as high ligation of the internal spermatic vein. Additionally, obstructive azoospermia, including conditions like segmental absence of the vas deferens or congenital absence of the seminal vesicles, also requires surgical intervention to restore the patient's fertility. Infertility conditions are prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is essential to seek professional and reputable medical treatment immediately, and treatment should be considered based on test results. Additionally, it is important to maintain abstinence from sexual activity and keep a positive mood. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
