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, and I am really troubled. Please ask: What are the appropriate treatments for men who suffer from infertility?Doctor's answer:
Male infertility refers to infertility caused by male factors. It is generally referred to as infertility when a couple lives together for more than 2 years without any form of contraception and the woman does not become pregnant. The incidence rate is around 10%. Among these cases, approximately 50% are attributed solely to female factors, about 30% to male factors alone, and around 20% to both male and female factors combined. In clinical diagnosis, male infertility is categorized into two types: sexual dysfunction and normal sexual function. The latter can be further divided based on semen analysis results into azoospermia, oligozoospermia, asthenozoospermia, teratozoospermia, and normozoospermic infertility. Men should avoid unhealthy lifestyle habits and adopt a healthy and reasonable diet, consuming plenty of nutritious foods.
