Patient's question:
A 32-year-old male with severe oligozoospermia and asthenozoospermia. A thorough examination did not reveal varicocele. Blood tests showed estradiol at 6, and sperm motility was estimated to be 27%. How should severe oligozoospermia and asthenozoospermia be managed?Doctor's answer:
Azoospermia is a manifestation of impaired spermatogenesis in the testes, often associated with endocrine dysfunction, cryptorchidism, varicocele, local chronic high temperatures, and the use of certain drugs that interfere with spermatogenesis. Generally, when such symptoms appear, timely treatment is necessary. The condition of low semen volume is relatively easy to treat in clinical diagnosis. For patients with azoospermia and asthenozoospermia, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If left untreated, it can affect overall health.
