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 for a check-up and found that the problem is with me. I don't even know what to do now. Please ask: What methods are good for treating male infertility?Doctor's answer:
Male infertility is mostly caused by poor semen quality, so a semen analysis is a necessary and thorough examination for every patient. For issues found in the semen analysis, some require further investigation to determine their cause. For example, if there are no sperm in the semen, blood hormone tests or a testicular biopsy may be needed to assess the testicular sperm production function. For patients suspected of having blocked vas deferens, a vasography is required to understand whether there is a blockage, the extent of the blockage, and its location. For patients with abnormal sexual development or a history of multiple miscarriages, a chromosomal test may be necessary. For infertile patients, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the condition, while delayed treatment can affect fertility.
