Patient's question:
I and my wife have been working hard in a foreign place for many years. Now we have a house and have saved some money. We plan to have a baby this year, but since last autumn until now, my wife hasn't been pregnant. We went to the hospital together for check-ups and found that the problem was with me. I don't even know what to do now. Please ask: What specific harms does dead sperm have?Doctor's answer:
Among the causes of male infertility, asthenozoospermia is a very common one. The harm of this disease is significant, and early treatment is necessary. Currently, people's awareness of health is not yet high, and many men are unaware of what asthenozoospermia is. Its manifestations include: 1. The symptoms of asthenozoospermia are quite inconsistent. Some patients show no clinical diagnostic symptoms; some may have a history of chronic prostatitis, orchitis, or epididymitis; others may experience premature ejaculation, low libido, or nocturnal emissions. 2. The diagnosis of asthenozoospermia is primarily based on semen analysis. Generally, if the number of non-viable sperm in the semen analysis exceeds 40%, it is referred to as hyperasthenozoospermia. If the percentage of abnormal sperm is more than 20%, it is called severe teratozoospermia. In routine semen or prostatic fluid tests, neutrophils are often repeatedly detected.
