Patient's question:
I have been married to my wife for 3 years, and we haven't had any children yet. Last month, under my mother-in-law's urging, I went to the hospital for a check-up. The results showed that it was my problem—I have male infertility due to dead sperm. I feel really frustrated and also very self-conscious. Could you please tell me: How can male dead sperm be treated more effectively?Doctor's answer:
Hello: In asthenozoospermia, sperm lack the strength to move forward, making it difficult for them to penetrate the cervical canal and uterine cavity to reach the fallopian tubes and fertilize the egg, thus leading to impaired fertility. Common causes of asthenozoospermia include: 1. Incomplete maturation or damage to the spermatogenic epithelium in the testes, resulting in poor sperm quality and weak motility; 2. Low seminal fluid volume; 3. Variations in seminal plasma, such as when inflammation occurs in the epididymis, seminal vesicles, or prostate, altering the pH, oxygen supply, nutrition, and metabolic processes, which can either favor or hinder 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 thorough examination to identify the underlying cause and receive targeted treatment, so as not to miss the optimal window for treatment.
