Patient's question:
I and my wife have been trying for 2 years without having a child. We underwent thorough examinations at a local hospital and found that it was due to my low sperm count. I chose to seek treatment, but I don't know which hospital is the best. I searched for information online, but it was all theoretical knowledge—I need practical proof. Which hospital is better to go to for the treatment of male infertility?Doctor's answer:
Azoospermia can interfere with pregnancy, as the sperm lack the ability to move forward and struggle to penetrate the cervical canal, uterine cavity, and reach the fallopian tube to fertilize the egg. Common causes of azoospermia include:1. Incomplete maturation or damage to the spermatogenic epithelium in the testes, leading to poor sperm quality and weak motility;
2. Low seminal fluid volume;
3. Variations in seminal plasma, such as when the epididymis, seminal vesicles, or prostate are inflamed, altering the pH, oxygen supply, nutrients, and metabolic processes, which can either favor or hinder sperm movement and survival. If anti-sperm antibodies are present, they can cause sperm agglutination, thereby impairing their motility.
