Patient's question:
Got married for several years, but never had children. Went to the hospital for a check-up and found it was male infertility. What causes male infertility?Doctor's answer:
The causes of oligospermia are numerous, such as cryptorchidism, varicocele, endocrine disorders, deficiencies in vitamins and trace elements, infections by pathogenic microorganisms, and drug interference, among various factors. In most cases of oligospermia, the cause can be identified through careful medical history inquiries, detailed physical examinations, and the collaboration of laboratory tests. Once the cause is determined, symptomatic treatment can be administered. Oligospermia is a relatively common form of male infertility. Its causes are complex. Some cases are due to endocrine factors, which often lead to impaired spermatogenesis in the testes, resulting in oligospermia or even azoospermia. Other causes include infections, varicocele, hereditary factors, autoimmune conditions, and environmental factors. It is recommended to undergo a thorough examination and seek early treatment.
