Patient's question:
I have been married to my wife for 9 years, and we have never had children. Last month, under the urging of my mother-in-law, I went to the hospital for a check-up. The results showed that the problem was with me—I have male infertility. I feel really frustrated and also feel very inferior. Please ask: How is male infertility best treated?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to first undergo a thorough check 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. Blood tests can also be performed to reflect the spermatogenesis status within the testicles.Recommendation: Normal sex hormone levels suggest a high likelihood of spermatogenesis function within the testicles. Testicular biopsy can also be conducted. If spermatogenic cells are present in the testicles, 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 the only option would be to use sperm from a sperm bank for conception.
For infertile patients, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If treatment is delayed, it may affect the ability to conceive.
