Patient's question:
Actually, I knew I was infertile last year, but I never dared to tell my wife, afraid she would divorce me. I secretly took many medications and visited many doctors, but it didn't help. Now my wife is forcing me to go to the hospital for a check-up. I'm really troubled. Please ask: What tests are needed for male infertility?Doctor's answer:
Male infertility primarily involves a thorough examination of semen, which requires a three-day abstinence period before visiting the urology department of a hospital for self-ejaculation to collect semen for retesting. Results are typically available the same day. The main factors contributing to male infertility include sperm quality, sperm viability, and motility, as well as issues like impaired sperm delivery, dead sperm, or azoospermia. Infertility can be stabilized, but treatment cycles are generally long, and relapse is common after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor, appropriate medication, and a light diet are essential. Patients should avoid foods, smoking, and drinking beer. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
