Patient's question:
What are the reasons for dead sperm? I want to know what causes dead sperm, what should I do, can it be treated? We want to get pregnant, but we don't feel uncomfortable, we have never been pregnant before. A few days ago, my husband and I took a detailed examination, and it was said that there are many dead sperm in my husband's semen. Will this affect pregnancy? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis refers to an increase in the number of dead sperm, with dead sperm accounting for more than 40%, or even most of the sperm in the seminal fluid being dead, resulting in a sperm survival rate of 0. The causes of epididymitis include:1. Inflammation of the sexual reproductive organs can cause congestion and edema in the reproductive organs, leading to blood stasis and cerebral edema, which can cause sperm to be on the verge of death.
2. In chronic seminal vesiculitis, increased fructose excretion can cause sperm to be on the verge of death.
3. In testitis, epididymitis, or prostatitis, especially chronic prostatitis, excretion is disrupted, and trace element zinc levels rise, which can interfere with sperm decomposition metabolism and cause sperm to be on the verge of death.
