Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I have been married for many years and have never had children. I went to the hospital for a check-up and was told that I have male infertility. What causes male infertility?Doctor's answer:
The causes of male infertility are due to genetic defects, and the gene responsible for this defect is called POLG. This gene plays a decisive role in the reproduction and inheritance of DNA in mitochondria. Sperm from men with a mutated POLG gene have weak motility and are defective and deformed, leading to infertility in direct descendants. For your health, if you suffer from this condition, please seek timely treatment at a formal and professional high-tech hospital for infertility. It is primarily important to conduct targeted examinations based on individual circumstances and receive symptomatic treatment under the guidance of a doctor. Wishing you good health.
