Patient's question:
I and my wife have been working hard in a foreign place for many years. Now we have a house and have saved some money. We plan to have a piglet this year, but since last autumn until now, my wife hasn't been pregnant. We went to the hospital together for a check-up and found that it was my problem. I don't even know what to do now. Please ask: How can I confirm if it is dead sperm?Doctor's answer:
Detailed semen analysis reveals that if dead sperm constitutes more than 40%, it can be diagnosed as asthenozoospermia. If the increase in dead sperm is due to improper examination methods or failure to follow standard procedures, or if the sperm has extremely low motility or is non-motile but not truly dead, it does not constitute asthenozoospermia. Prolonged cold sensation leads to an increase in the number of dead sperm, while the sperm vitality rate rises. Dead sperm can be stabilized, but the treatment process is generally slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, medication must be used according to the specific symptoms during treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and refrain from smoking and drinking beer. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible!
