Patient's question:
How do radiotherapy and chemotherapy affect male fertility? Medical history and treatment outcomes: Semen analysis results showed 0% sperm motility, 0% sperm viability, and a sperm density of 0 tens of thousands. Desired assistance: 5 years ago, I had a tumor on the inner side of my right leg and underwent surgery, followed by radiotherapy and chemotherapy. I am now married, but why do I have no sperm?Doctor's answer:
Sperm is produced by the testes and stored in the epididymis. During sexual climax, it is released into a woman's vagina through the vas deferens. Due to the close proximity of the male reproductive organs to the tumor on the inner side of the right leg, it is possible that the testicular function may be damaged during radiotherapy and chemotherapy, leading to the loss of sperm production ability. This is also possible. Male diseases are difficult to relieve. Friends suffering from this condition should always maintain a positive attitude and face it with an active mindset. Only in this way can they enhance their confidence in combating male diseases and believe that recovery is certain.
