Patient's question:
Hello doctor, we have been married for many years and have not had any children. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, it was found that I have male infertility. How should male infertility be treated?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 to reflect the spermatogenesis within the testes. It is suggested that normal sex hormone levels indicate a high possibility 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 present, there is no hope, and the only option would be to use sperm from a sperm bank for conception. Infertility conditions can be prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication.
