Patient's question:
Can dead sperm be treated? I want to ask what causes dead sperm, why is this happening? We want to get pregnant, but we haven't been using contraception, yet we will never get pregnant. Then we had a thorough examination and it was said that the sperm are dead. But what is the reason for this? What should we do? Can it be treated? Can we still get pregnant?Doctor's answer:
Azoospermia refers to an increase in non-viable sperm, where dead sperm account for more than 40%, or even most of the sperm in the semen are dead, with a sperm viability rate of 0%. Common causes of azoospermia include: male reproductive tract inflammation, varicocele, endocrine disorders, male reproductive system tumors, and so on. It is recommended to conduct a thorough examination and treat accordingly, which can restore normalcy. Azoospermia can be stabilized, but the treatment process is generally slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor and appropriate medication during treatment is essential.
