Patient's question:
My husband and I have been married for two years and have always wanted a child. However, there have been no signs of pregnancy. Yesterday, my husband and I went for a thorough check-up, and the results showed that my husband has severe dead sperm. What should we do?Doctor's answer:
Perinatal infections can lead to male infertility, and there are some cases where infections cause necrospermia, which in turn results in male infertility. A significant small portion of these cases is based on infections leading to necrospermia and subsequently causing male infertility. Due to perinatal infections, changes in seminal fluid composition—such as increased zinc, magnesium, citrate, and fructose, as well as a decrease in pH—can directly affect sperm vitality. Conditions like prostatitis, epididymitis, orchitis, and vasitis are examples of such issues. Necrospermia can be cured, but the treatment period is usually long, and relapse is common after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medications must be used symptomatically, and it is important to avoid prolonged sitting or riding and to pay close attention to personal hygiene.
