Patient's question:
I've been married for four years, but I haven't been able to fulfill my parents' wish to have a grandchild. In the past two years, my wife has taken a lot of traditional Chinese medicine to, but it hasn't had any effect. Later, I also went to the hospital for a check-up, and unexpectedly, I was diagnosed with male infertility. How did this happen? What should I pay attention to?Doctor's answer:
The reasons affecting male infertility include oligospermia, asthenozoospermia, necrozoospermia, azoospermia, and abnormal semen liquefaction, etc.(1) Congenital testicular dysgenesis or cryptorchidism can lead to impaired spermatogenesis;
(2) Varicocele and hydrocele of the tunica vaginalis;
(3) Inflammation of the reproductive tract;
(4) Immunosuppression and endocrine disorders;
(5) Chromosomal abnormalities, etc.
Infertility can be stabilized, but the treatment cycle is generally long, and relapse is prone to occur after treatment. Therefore, medications must be used symptomatically during treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and refrain from smoking and drinking beer.
