Patient's question:
I've been married for 4 years and haven't had any children yet. We haven't tried to get pregnant, thinking it's best to let nature take its course—when it happens, it happens. My wife says it's my fault. She says she had a thorough check-up at the hospital and the doctor said she was fine. What are the main causes of male infertility?Doctor's answer:
A normal person's ejaculation is 3-5 milliliters, which takes about 30 minutes to liquefy after being expelled from the body. Each milliliter contains more than 60 million sperm, with over 60% of them being motile sperm. Conditions such as hematospermia (blood in semen), dead sperm, or failure to liquefy are considered abnormal and can lead to infertility. Infertility is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term oral medication. For male patients, it is essential to seek treatment at a professional and reputable hospital immediately. Treatment should be considered based on thorough examination results. Additionally, it is important to quit smoking and drinking and maintain good personal hygiene.
