Patient's question:
Previously, my wife had blocked fallopian tubes, so we couldn't have children. Now, more than half a year after the surgery, there's still no sign of pregnancy. A few days ago, I went for a check-up, and the doctor told me it was my problem—I have male infertility. I feel very desperate now. Could you please tell me: What are the characteristics of male infertility?Doctor's answer:
Medical history, history of injuries and surgeries, sexual history, contraception history, pregnancy history, and marital history, as well as exposure to drugs and physical-chemical factors, urinary symptoms, and gynecological examination findings in women. Disorders of spermatogenesis, such as testicular diseases like testicular tumors, testicular tuberculosis, mumps orchitis, nonspecific orchitis, testicular atrophy after varicocele reversal, or absence of testicles, can all lead to impaired spermatogenesis and result in infertility. Infertility conditions tend to be recurrent, requiring long-term medication. Moreover, for male patients, it is essential to seek medical treatment at professional and reputable hospitals promptly, and treatment should be considered based on thorough examination results. Additionally, proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity should be maintained. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
