Patient's question:
At the hospital for a check-up, the results showed that my semen was abnormal, with low motility. Could this lead to infertility? What are the causes of male infertility?Doctor's answer:
Any couple living together for more than 2 years after marriage without taking contraceptive measures and not giving birth may have infertility due to reasons related to both the female and male sides. If the cause is related to the male, common etiologies include: abnormal semen (e.g., nonliquefaction, inflammation, acidic or alkaline conditions), obstruction of the male reproductive tract, anatomical abnormalities of the reproductive organs, and systemic diseases. Additionally, beyond the shared factors affecting both partners—such as a lack of sexual knowledge, immunological factors (antibodies present in both partners), and psychological reasons (e.g., excessive stress)—only advanced modern medicine can accurately diagnose the diverse causes of infertility and provide targeted treatment for its cure.
