Patient's question:
Previously, my wife had blocked fallopian tubes, so we couldn't have children. Now, more than six months after her surgery, there's still no sign of pregnancy. A few days ago, I went for a check-up, and the doctor told me it was my problem—I have male infertility. I'm feeling very desperate. Could you please tell me how long it takes to treat male infertility?Doctor's answer:
Hello, male infertility is mostly caused by poor semen quality, so a semen analysis is a necessary examination for every patient. For issues found in the semen analysis, some require further investigation of their cause. For example, if there are no sperm in the semen, blood hormone tests or a testicular biopsy may be needed to understand the condition of testicular sperm production. For those suspected of having blocked vas deferens, a vasography is required to determine if there is a blockage, the extent of the blockage, and its location. For patients with sexual development abnormalities or a history of multiple miscarriages with their wives, a chromosome test is necessary. Infertility conditions can be recurrent, requiring long-term medication. Moreover, for male patients, it is essential to seek medical treatment immediately at a professional and reputable hospital.
