Patient's question:
I got married to my wife, and we've never had children. Last month, under my mother-in-law's urging, I went to the hospital for a check-up. The results showed that it was my problem—I have male infertility. I feel really frustrated and also very self-conscious. Could you please tell me what tests are involved in diagnosing male infertility?Doctor's answer:
If a man has infertility, he should undergo a thorough examination: routine semen analysis, seminal plasma super-, male-related endocrine examination, pathogenic microorganism examination related to male perinatal urinary system infection, and so on. After the disease appears, it is important to treat it promptly, understand the cause specifically based on individual constitution and the severity of the condition, and determine the treatment method accordingly. It is absolutely not advisable to use medication blindly or independently, as this may lead to drug resistance and hinder the complete recovery of the disease. In daily life, it is also necessary to avoid unsafe sexual practices and reduce the intake of spicy and irritating foods. Under the guidance of a doctor, additional examinations should be conducted to identify the cause and implement targeted treatment, avoiding missed opportunities for the disease to recover completely.
