Patient's question:
Uncle and Aunt have been married for over ten years, but they haven't had any children. I heard Aunt tell Mom that they both went to the hospital for thorough examinations. Aunt is physically fine, but Uncle suffers from male infertility. They have always wanted a child and are now troubled by this issue. What are the main causes of male infertility?Doctor's answer:
The main causes of male infertility include low sperm count, high abnormal sperm rate, poor sperm motility, as well as ejaculation dysfunction or blockage of the remote attack duct of semen. Some congenital diseases and acquired conditions, such as chronic health problems, unhealthy lifestyles, and various other factors including living environment, food, drugs, and daily habits, are all important reasons leading to male infertility. Infertility conditions tend to recur, requiring long-term oral medication. Moreover, for male patients, it is crucial to actively seek diagnosis and treatment at professional and reputable hospitals.
