Patient's question:
Married for several years, but we have never had children. We have tried many fertility treatments, but none have shown any effect. Moreover, every time we are together, there is very little sperm released. Is it male infertility? What exactly is male infertility?Doctor's answer:
After marriage, if a couple lives together for more than two years without taking any contraceptive measures and the woman remains barren, it is called infertility. According to reports, about 10% to 15% of unmarried couples may experience infertility again. If infertility is caused by male factors, it is referred to as male infertility. The physiological processes of male reproduction primarily include sperm production, maturation, semen formation, ejaculation, and the fusion of sperm and egg to form a zygote. Any factor that affects any stage of these processes can impair fertility and lead to male infertility.
