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 in a dilemma. Can male infertility still be somewhat alleviated?Doctor's answer:
The majority of male infertility is caused by abnormal semen and sperm. Azoospermia (no sperm) or oligozoospermia (low sperm count) can lead to increased chances of childbirth if the sperm density in the semen is higher than 200 million/ml. However, if the sperm density is above 20 million/ml, it can result in infertility. This type of infertility can be classified as permanent or temporary. Conditions such as oligospermia, asthenozoospermia, and azoospermia are very common and should be detected and treated early. Male patients should actively engage in physical exercise, maintain daily routine activities, develop a variety of hobbies, achieve a balance between work and rest, and appropriately alleviate stress. This can gradually improve sperm quality.
