Patient's question:
What are the common misconceptions about the treatment of asthenozoospermia? Recently, I had a thorough examination at the hospital and was told I have asthenozoospermia. If it is not treated in a timely manner, it may interfere with fertility. It is generally believed that there are common misconceptions about the treatment of asthenozoospermia, and I am worried that I might fall into these misconceptions. Therefore, I would like to understand them better. I would like to ask the doctor what are the common misconceptions about the treatment of asthenozoospermia.Doctor's answer:
Although male infertility can bring a series of adverse effects to patients, many patients are misled, resulting in the condition not being treated in time. Below, we will explain the common misconceptions about male infertility:1. Ejaculated semen being equivalent to azoospermia: This view is incorrect; in fact, there are many reasons why a man may fail to ejaculate semen.
2. Azoospermia requires a testicular biopsy: In patients with obstructive azoospermia, a testicular biopsy can damage normal testicular function.
3. No sperm found in a semen analysis means azoospermia: A single semen analysis showing no sperm cannot immediately be diagnosed as azoospermia.
