Patient's question:
I have been married to my wife for a year. We have never used any contraception, but every time we have sex, I don't reach orgasm—this is true, and I don't understand why. I thought it was because my wife has a weak constitution, so I went to an old Chinese medicine doctor for some tonics to improve her health. But we still haven’t conceived. We had a thorough check-up at the hospital and found that I have dead sperm. Is there a way to correct this?Doctor's answer:
Under normal circumstances, within 1 hour of semen being expelled outside the body, the percentage of viable sperm in normal living conditions should be 70% or higher. If the percentage of dead sperm is below 40%, it may interfere with childbirth. The survival time of sperm should always maintain a viability rate of over 20% within 6 hours. If no viable sperm remains within 6 hours, infertility may result.If a man suffers from dead sperm syndrome, he should promptly seek medical diagnosis and treatment. Based on the specific cause, symptomatic treatment can be provided, which may restore normal sperm function. The condition of dead sperm is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term oral medication.
