Patient's question:
We plan to get married this May 1st. Although it is no longer recommended to have pre-marital health checks now, we still had one. The detailed check results showed no issues on my side, but there were problems with my husband, specifically low sperm count and weak sperm, which could potentially lead to infertility. How should this be treated?Doctor's answer:
Key focus should be on identifying the cause, and on the basis of identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment should be administered. If it is caused by varicocele, timely surgical treatment should be performed. If it is caused by genital inflammation, active and thorough elimination of inflammation should be carried out. If it is due to a lack of certain nutrients, timely digestion should be promoted. If it is caused by endocrine factors, endocrine treatment should be conducted. For oligoasthenozoospermia, traditional Chinese medicine believes that it is mainly caused by endocrine dysfunction of the kidneys, liver, and spleen. The kidneys store essence and govern reproduction; kidney deficiency can lead to impaired sperm production, which may result in conditions such as impotence, failure to emit semen, oligozoospermia, asthenozoospermia, and necrozoospermia.
