Patient's question:
We plan to get married this May Day. Although it is no longer recommended to have pre-marital health checks now, we still had one. The detailed check results showed that I had no issues, but my husband had problems, specifically low sperm count and weak sperm, which could lead to infertility. How should this be treated?Doctor's answer:
Key focus should be on identifying the cause, and on the basis of identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment should be administered. If it is caused by varicocele, timely surgical treatment should be performed. If it is caused by reproductive organ inflammation, active and thorough elimination of inflammation should be carried out. If it is due to a lack of certain nutrients, timely digestion should be promoted. If it is caused by endocrine factors, endocrine treatment should be conducted. For oligospermia and asthenozoospermia, traditional Chinese medicine believes that it is mainly caused by endocrine disorders of kidney, liver, and spleen function. The kidney stores essence and governs reproduction; kidney deficiency may lead to impaired sperm production, which may result in conditions such as impotence, failure to emit sperm, oligospermia, asthenozoospermia, and necrospermia.
