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 little piglet this year, but since last autumn until now, my wife hasn't been pregnant. We went to the hospital together for a check-up and found that the problem was with me. I don't even know what to do now. Please ask: What are the routine tests for male infertility?Doctor's answer:
1. Sperm Power Examination: Sperm is the fundamental condition for conception, so if a man is infertile, the primary approach should focus on seminal fluid. Through Sperm Power Examination, interpreting the chemical composition of seminal fluid helps understand the functions of the epididymis, prostate, and seminal vesicles.2. Routine Semen Analysis: This is a fundamental and crucial clinical diagnostic method for assessing male fertility. The parameters of semen are the first information doctors need to know.
3. Prostate Fluid Examination: Prostatitis can cause male infertility, and the examination of prostate fluid can provide evidence for the diagnosis of prostatitis.
4. Genetic Examination: The normality of chromosomes and genes in men is the foundation for maintaining normal perinatal functions. Abnormalities in chromosomes and genes can lead to sexual development abnormalities and block the development of sperm, severely disrupting perinatal functions and potentially causing male infertility.
