Patient's question:
Since getting married over two years ago, my wife has not been able to conceive. Recently, we went to the hospital for infertility testing. After my semen analysis, it was found that the mortality rate of sperm was extremely high, with dead sperm accounting for over 90%. The doctor diagnosed me with severe asthenozoospermia and recommended that I seek treatment at a major hospital. I am worried that this condition may not be treatable. Could you please tell me what tests are available for male infertility caused by dead sperm?Doctor's answer:
The detailed examination items for dead sperm include the following:1. Ultrasound examination
2. Immunological examination
3. Routine semen analysis
4. Testicular biopsy
5. X-ray examination
6. Endocrine examination
Inflammation of the reproductive organs can cause congestion, edema, blood stasis, and brain edema, leading to the death of sperm. In chronic seminal colliculus inflammation, fructose excretion decreases, resulting in the death of sperm. In cases of orchitis, epididymitis, and prostatitis, especially chronic prostatitis, excretion is affected, and the increase in trace element zinc disrupts the metabolic breakdown of sperm, causing their death.
It is recommended that you revisit the hospital for a follow-up examination to identify the underlying cause, so that targeted treatment can be administered. The condition of dead sperm tends to recur, requiring long-term medication.
