Patient's question:
Had a testicular ultrasound and semen quality test. The results showed I have asthenozoospermia, which can lead to infertility. What are some good treatments for male infertility?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to first undergo a thorough hormonal test and a detailed ultrasound examination of the reproductive organs. If the hormonal test results are normal and the testicular volume is also normal, treatment can proceed. Alternatively, a blood test can be performed to reflect the spermatogenesis status within the testes. It is suggested that normal hormonal levels indicate a high likelihood of spermatogenesis function within the testes. Testicular biopsy can also be conducted. If spermatogenic cells are present in the testes, there is hope for treatment. However, if it is a case of Sertoli cell-only syndrome with no spermatogenic cells, there is no hope, and the only option would be to use sperm from a sperm bank for conception. Infertility conditions can be prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication intake.
