Patient's question:
I and my wife have been struggling in a foreign place for many years. Now we have a house and have saved some money. We plan to have a little piglet this year, but since last autumn until now, my wife hasn't been pregnant. We went to the hospital for a check-up and found that it was my problem. I don't even know what to do now. Please ask: What methods are good for treating male infertility?Doctor's answer:
Male infertility is mostly caused by poor semen quality, so a semen analysis is a necessary and thorough examination for every patient. For issues found in the semen analysis, some require further investigation to determine their cause. For example, if there are no sperm in the semen, blood hormone tests or a testicular biopsy may be needed to assess the testicular sperm production function. For patients suspected of having blocked vas deferens, a vasography is required to understand whether there is a blockage, its extent, and location. For patients with sexual development abnormalities or a history of multiple miscarriages with their partner, a chromosomal test is necessary. For infertile patients, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the condition, whereas delayed treatment can affect fertility.
