Patient's question:
I got married about a year ago. Because both my wife and I are the only children in our families, the elders urged us to have a child first. We've been trying for almost a year now, but my wife hasn't gotten pregnant. After a thorough examination at the hospital, the doctor said I have male infertility, and the specific cause needs further examination. What should I pay attention to?Doctor's answer:
A thorough examination of prostatic fluid. Prostatic fluid is an important component of semen and can also affect sperm quality. Male infertility can be inferred based on the quantity, quality, pH level, and liquefaction factor of prostatic fluid. Three to seven days before the test, sexual activity must be strictly prohibited. Infertility can be alleviated, but the treatment period is generally long, and relapse is prone to occur after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's treatment plan is essential during the treatment, and appropriate medication should be taken. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene.
