Patient's question:
I have been married to my wife for 8 years, and we have never had children. Last month, under the urging of my mother-in-law, I went to the hospital for a check-up. The results showed that it was my problem—I have male infertility. I am really frustrated and also feel very self-conscious. Could you please tell me: How can male infertility be treated?Doctor's answer:
1. Abnormal or damaged testicles: Undescended testicles can lead to infertility, and injuries to the testicles during childbirth or postnatally can also cause male infertility.2. Sexual dysfunction: Premature ejaculation, retrograde ejaculation, and anejaculation can all lead to male infertility.
3. Abnormalities in semen itself, such as oligospermia and azoospermia caused by thyroid and adrenal gland dysfunction, can result in infertility. Weak sperm motility and abnormal sperm morphology are also factors.
4. Obstruction of the vas deferens: Conditions such as tuberculosis of the vas deferens can cause blockages, obstructing sperm passage.
5. Immunological male infertility: When sperm are exposed to the immune system, antisperm antibodies are produced in the body, leading to self-agglutination of sperm and preventing fertilization.
