Patient's question:
I and my wife have been struggling outside for many years. Now we have a house and have saved some money. We plan to have a little piglet this year, but since last half of the year, my wife hasn't been pregnant. We went to the hospital for a check-up and found that it was my problem. Now I don't even know what to do. Please ask: How can male infertility usually be improved?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to first undergo a thorough test 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. Alternatively, a blood test can be performed, which can reflect the spermatogenesis within the testes. Normal sex hormone levels suggest a high likelihood of spermatogenesis function within the testes. Testicular biopsy can also be conducted. If spermatogenic cells are present in the testes, 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. Avoid smoking and drinking beer, and we hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible!
