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 nothing worked. Now my wife is forcing me to go to the hospital for a check-up. I'm really struggling. Could you please ask: What are the approximate costs of treating male infertility?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to first undergo a thorough test of sex hormones and a detailed ultrasound examination of the reproductive organs. If the sex hormone results are normal and the testicular volume is also normal, treatment can proceed. Alternatively, a blood test can be performed to reflect the spermatogenesis within the testes. Normal sex hormone levels suggest a high possibility of spermatogenesis function within the testes. Testicular biopsy can also be conducted. If spermatogenic cells are present in the testes, there is hope for treatment. However, if it is a case of Sertoli cell-only syndrome with no spermatogenic cells, there is no hope, and only sperm bank sperm can be used for conception. For infertile patients, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If treatment is delayed, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should receive timely medication and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
