Patient's question:
Actually, I knew I was infertile last year, but I never dared to tell my wife, afraid she would divorce me. I secretly took many medications and visited many doctors, but it didn't help. Now my wife is forcing me to go to the hospital for a check-up. I'm really in a dilemma. Please ask: What are the causes of male infertility?Doctor's answer:
Hospitals treating male infertility will collect a detailed and comprehensive medical history, which is an important basis for confirming the diagnosis. Generally, the inquiry should cover aspects such as marital fertility history, sexual history, past medical history, and family medical history. A thorough examination includes height, weight, body shape, degree of obesity, and male infertility screening for congenital testicular abnormalities, injuries, and developmental disorders. Additionally, a digital rectal exam can be performed to collect prostatic fluid for laboratory testing. For infertility patients, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the condition. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely and appropriate treatment, maintain regular sexual activity in daily life, and avoid prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
