Patient's question:
I got married to my wife, but we've never had children. Last month, under my mother-in-law's urging, I went to the hospital for a check-up. The result showed that it was my problem—I have male infertility. I'm really frustrated and also feel very. Could you please tell me: What are the clinical symptoms of dead sperm?Doctor's answer:
Azoospermia refers to a condition where multiple semen analyses show no abnormal sperm morphology, and the sperm density is within the normal range, but the majority of sperm are dying. Under normal circumstances, within 1 hour of ejaculation, more than 70% of sperm should be viable. If the percentage of dead sperm is below 40%, it can interfere with conception. The causes of azoospermia include: inflammation of the sexual reproductive organs can cause congestion and edema in the reproductive organs, blood stasis, and brain edema, leading to dying sperm. In chronic prostatitis, increased fructose excretion can cause dying sperm. In cases of orchitis, epididymitis, and prostatitis, especially chronic prostatitis, excretion is disrupted, and the level of trace element zinc rises, which interferes with the decomposition metabolism of sperm, causing them to die.
