Patient's question:
What are the causes of dead sperm? I have done many semen tests, and they all say that there are a lot of dead sperm in the semen. What is the reason for this? I don't smoke or drink beer, and I don't have any bad habits, so why do I have this condition? I have been divorced for over a year, and my wife is about to have a child. What are the causes of dead sperm?Doctor's answer:
Spermatogenic dysfunction refers to an increase in the vitality rate of sperm. The condition is characterized by dead sperm accounting for less than 40%. Spermatogenic dysfunction involves multiple semen analyses, where all sperm are found to be dead. Under normal circumstances, after semen is expelled from the body within 1 hour, more than 70% of the sperm should remain viable. If dead sperm account for less than 40%, it interferes with conception. The survival time of sperm should always remain at 20% or higher within 6 hours. If no viable sperm remain within 6 hours, infertility may result. It is essential to seek immediate medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital for diagnosis. Treatment should be considered based on the examination results, and proper diet should be maintained. Abstinence from sexual activity is also necessary.
