Patient's question:
I've been married for several years, and my wife has never been pregnant. I always thought she might have inflammation or other gynecological diseases. Recently, after thorough examination with my wife, we found out that I have severe oligospermia. What exactly are the causes of severe oligospermia?Doctor's answer:
Azoospermia refers to a condition where some semen tests show no abnormal sperm morphology and density is within the normal range, but the vast majority of sperm are dying. The causes of azoospermia include: inflammation of the sexual reproductive organs, which can cause congestion and edema in the reproductive organs, blood stasis, and brain edema, leading to the death of sperm. In chronic prostatitis, fructose excretion increases, causing sperm to die. Testicular and epididymitis, especially chronic prostatitis, can disrupt excretion and, when trace element zinc levels rise, sperm metabolism is disrupted, leading to sperm death. Treatment should be symptomatic.
