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 and found out it's my problem. I don't even know what to do now. Please ask: How is dead sperm confirmed? What tests are needed?Doctor's answer:
The detailed tests required for male infertility due to dead sperm include:1. Ultrasound examination: Can be used to confirm whether varicocele is present.
2. Immunological tests: Detect sperm agglutination antibodies or agglutinin antibodies in serum or seminal plasma through sperm agglutination tests or agglutinin tests. Although there are various detection methods, the appropriate one should be chosen based on local conditions.
3. Routine semen analysis: Helps assess male fertility and is a mandatory test for infertility. The examination includes aspects such as color, volume, liquefaction time, pH level, sperm count, motility, survival rate, and morphology.
