Patient's question:
I have been married for over a year now, but my wife is still not pregnant. She has also gone to the hospital for thorough examinations, and they said everything is normal. I don't know how the examinations are conducted, and I also lack the courage. What are the common causes of male infertility?Doctor's answer:
In general, the causes of male infertility are often due to the inability to produce sperm, scrotal edema, varicocele, premature ejaculation, impotence, kidney deficiency, etc. On the other hand, male infertility can also be caused by factors that lead to low sperm motility, such as inflammation, positive anti-sperm antibodies, narrowed or blocked vas deferens, undescended testicles, excessive exposure to radioactive substances, and excessive alcohol consumption. Infertility conditions tend to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is essential to seek immediate medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital for diagnosis. Treatment should be considered based on the results of thorough examinations. Additionally, proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity should be maintained. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
