Patient's question:
A 34-year-old man, married for eight years, has never had children. Now that he is getting older, he really wants a child. The couple went to the hospital for a comprehensive and thorough examination and found that he has azoospermia. They are unaware of what to do?Doctor's answer:
Azoospermia refers to a condition where some semen tests show no abnormalities in sperm morphology, and the density is also within the normal range, but the majority of sperm are dying. Under normal circumstances, within 1 hour of ejaculation, more than 70% of sperm should be able to live normally. If the percentage of dead sperm is below 40%, it can interfere with childbirth. The survival time of sperm should always maintain a viability rate of over 20% within 6 hours. If there are no living sperm within 6 hours, it can lead to infertility. The treatment of azoospermia, identifying the underlying cause is key.
