Patient's question:
I have been married to my wife for 8 years, and we have never had children. Last month, under the urging of my mother-in-law, I went to the hospital for a check-up. The results showed that the problem was with me—I have male infertility. I feel really frustrated and also feel very inferior. Please ask: How can male infertility be treated?Doctor's answer:
1. Abnormal or damaged testicles: Undescended testicles can lead to infertility, and testicular injuries during childbirth or postnatally can also cause male infertility.2. Sexual dysfunction: Premature ejaculation, retrograde ejaculation, and anejaculation can all result in male infertility.
3. Abnormalities in semen itself, such as oligospermia and azoospermia caused by thyroid and adrenal gland dysfunction, can lead to infertility. Weak sperm motility and abnormal morphology are also contributing factors.
4. Obstruction of the vas deferens: Diseases such as tuberculosis can cause blockages in the vas deferens, obstructing sperm passage.
5. Immunological male infertility: When sperm is exposed to the immune system, antisperm antibodies are produced in the body, leading to self-agglutination of sperm and preventing fertilization.
