Patient's question:
I and my wife have been working hard in a foreign place for many years. Now we have a house and have saved some money. We plan to have a little piglet this year, but since last autumn until now, my wife hasn't been pregnant. We went to the hospital together and found out that it's my problem. I don't even know what to do now. Please ask: How can male infertility be treated?Doctor's answer:
The causes of male infertility are diverse, including sexual dysfunction: such as premature ejaculation, retrograde ejaculation, nocturnal emission, and anejaculation, with anejaculation accounting for 35% of male infertility cases. Testicular diseases: such as orchitis, epididymitis, and testicular atrophy, can lead to male infertility. Immunological factors: refer to the presence of antisperm antibodies in male serum or seminal plasma, which triggers an autoimmune response against sperm, resulting in immunological infertility. Additionally, varicocele accounts for 12% of male infertility cases. Abnormal semen quality: including oligospermia, asthenozoospermia, azoospermia, teratozoospermia, polyzoospermia, hyposemenorrhea, and semen liquefaction disorders.
