Patient's question:
I've been married for two years, and my wife's stomach hasn't been showing any signs of movement. I didn't know whose fault it was, so we went to the hospital for a thorough check-up. It turned out to be my problem—I have male infertility. I felt very upset upon hearing this. Can male infertility really be treated and improved?Doctor's answer:
Male infertility refers to infertility caused by male factors. Generally, if a couple lives together for more than 2 years after marriage without any contraceptive measures and the woman does not become pregnant, it is referred to as infertility. The incidence rate is about 10%, with approximately 50% attributed to female factors alone, 30% to male factors alone, and about 20% to both male and female factors. In clinical diagnosis, male infertility is divided into two categories: sexual dysfunction and normal sexual function. The latter can be further classified based on semen analysis results into azoospermia, oligozoospermia, asthenozoospermia, teratozoospermia, and normozoospermic infertility.
