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 and found out it's my problem. I don't even know what to do now. Please ask: What are the routine tests for male infertility?Doctor's answer:
1. Sperm Ultra-Sensitive Examination: Sperm is the fundamental condition for conception, so if a man is infertile, the primary approach should focus on seminal fluid. Through sperm ultra-sensitive examination, interpreting the chemical composition of seminal fluid is beneficial for understanding the functions of the epididymis, prostate, and seminal vesicles.2. Routine Seminal Fluid Examination: This is a fundamental and crucial clinical diagnostic method for assessing male fertility. The parameters of seminal fluid are the first information doctors need to obtain.
3. Prostatic Fluid Examination: Prostatitis can cause male infertility, and prostatic fluid examination 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 hinder sperm development, severely disrupting perinatal functions and potentially causing male infertility.
