Patient's question:
I'm not very interested in sex, and this has been going on for over a year. When we first got married, it was okay, but later on, I started to feel a bit bored. Every time we have sex, it's my wife who initiates it, and I'm just going along with it. I don't know if this is normal. I haven't had any children yet. Could improper sexual activity cause male infertility?Doctor's answer:
Improper sexual activity is also a reason for infertility, with excessive frequency of intercourse being a common one. Many infertile men have a history of excessive sexual activity, and some infertile couples even maintain this habit even when seeking medical advice, with the mindset of "sure to hit the mark." During normal male intercourse, ejaculation amounts to 1 to 6 milliliters, containing over 30 million sperm, with 70% having normal motility, but only 1% to 5% reach the uterine cavity, with only one sperm ultimately combining with an egg to achieve fertilization.
