Patient's question:
I had a girlfriend before, but later she broke up with me and started a relationship with someone else and got pregnant immediately. I'm worried that I might have male infertility, and I feel like the sky is falling. Could you please tell me: What are the typical costs associated with male infertility?Doctor's answer:
Common causes of infertility include:1. Incomplete maturation or damage and thinning of the seminiferous epithelium in the testes, leading to poor sperm quality and weak motility;
2. Low seminal fluid volume;
3. Variations in seminal plasma, such as when the epididymis, seminal vesicles, or prostate are inflamed, the pH, oxygen supply, nutrition, and metabolic breakdown may favor sperm movement and survival. If anti-sperm antibodies are present, they can cause sperm agglutination, thereby reducing their motility. Young men should avoid frequent saunas, and the water temperature for baths should generally be around 34°C. It is recommended to consistently track the wife's ovulation period and increase the frequency of sexual intercourse slightly before and after ovulation.
