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 practitioner 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 seminal fluid being expelled outside the body, more than 70% of healthy sperm should be able to live a normal life. If the percentage of dead sperm is below 40%, it can interfere with childbirth. The survival time of sperm should always maintain a viability rate of over 20% within 6 hours. If there are no living sperm within 6 hours, infertility may result.If a man suffers from dead sperm syndrome, he should promptly seek medical attention for diagnosis and treatment. Based on the specific cause, targeted treatment can help restore normal sperm function. The condition of dead sperm is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term oral medication.
