Patient's question:
The couple next door has been married for a long time, and they've never had children. It's said that the man might be infertile, but it's unclear how he got it. What are the causes of male infertility?Doctor's answer:
Common causes of male infertility include: congenital deficiency, insufficient kidney essence; insufficient kidney qi, loose seminal passage, or depleted kidney essence leading to uncontrolled leakage, or excessive sexual activity causing the kidneys to fail to store essence, or emotional tension causing endocrine imbalance of qi and essence. For infertile patients, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the condition, whereas delayed treatment may affect their physical condition. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and pay attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
