Patient's question:
How can dead sperm be identified? My wife and I have been trying to get pregnant without success. Could this be because I have dead sperm?Doctor's answer:
Azoospermia refers to a condition where the vitality rate of sperm increases, with dead sperm accounting for less than 40%. This condition is one of the causes of male infertility. Many patients may experience symptoms such as premature ejaculation, nocturnal emissions, or low libido. If the number of dead sperm in semen analysis exceeds 40%, it is referred to as excessive dead sperm. If the proportion of abnormal sperm is below 20%, it is termed hyperabnormal spermia. Some patients have no clinical diagnostic symptoms, while others have a history of chronic prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, orchitis, etc., and semen analysis may show the presence of pus cells. For patients with dead sperm, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the condition. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
