Patient's question:
Can dead sperm be treated? I want to ask what causes dead sperm and why it happens like this. We want to get pregnant, but we haven't been using contraception and yet we never get pregnant. Then we had a thorough examination and it was said that we have dead sperm. 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 the number of dead sperm, with dead sperm accounting for more than 40%, or even most of the sperm in the semen being dead, with a sperm survival rate of 0. Common causes of azoospermia include: male genital inflammation, varicocele, endocrine disorders, male reproductive system tumors, and so on. It is recommended to conduct a detailed examination and treat accordingly, which can restore normalcy. The condition of azoospermia tends to recur frequently, requiring long-term oral medication. Moreover, for male patients, it is necessary to seek medical attention immediately at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on the results of a thorough examination.
