Patient's question:
Married for many years, I have never been able to conceive a child. The hospital examination said I suffer from male infertility. Can male infertility be cured?Doctor's answer:
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 into their cause. For example, if there are no sperm in the semen, blood hormone tests or testicular biopsy may be needed to assess the testicular spermatogenesis function. For patients suspected of having vas deferens obstruction, a vasography is required to understand whether there is an obstruction, its extent, and location. For patients with sexual development abnormalities or a history of multiple miscarriages, a chromosomal test may be necessary.
