Patient's question:
I have been married to my wife for two years and we have never used any contraception methods, but we have never been able to get her pregnant. Later, we had a thorough check-up, and the doctor said I might be suffering from male infertility. I am quite worried and would like to ask the doctor, what are the best treatments for male infertility?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to first undergo a thorough test of sex hormones and a detailed ultrasound examination of the reproductive organs. If the sex hormone results are normal and the testicular volume is also normal, treatment can proceed. Alternatively, a blood test can be performed to reflect the spermatogenesis status within the testes.Recommendation: Normal sex hormone levels suggest a high likelihood of spermatogenesis function within the testes. Testicular biopsy can also be conducted. If spermatogenic cells are present in the testes, there is hope for treatment. However, if it is a case of Sertoli cell-only syndrome with no spermatogenic cells, there is no expectation, and in such cases, sperm from a sperm bank would be required for conception.
For infertility patients, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. Delaying treatment may negatively impact overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely and appropriate treatment, avoid overexertion in daily life, and pay attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
