Patient's question:
I've been married for 3 years and have never used any form of contraception, but my wife has never gotten pregnant. A few weeks ago, we went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, and it was determined to be my issue—my sperm doesn't liquefy. The doctor recommended taking traditional Chinese medicine, which will cost around 2,000 to 3,000 yuan. Is male infertility caused by non-liquefying sperm treatable?Doctor's answer:
Endocrine factors are also a cause of male infertility. Male endocrine disorders, resulting from dysfunction of the hypothalamic-pituitary-testicular axis, pituitary, thyroid, and adrenal glands, can lead to oligospermia and azoospermia, causing infertility. For infertile patients, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the condition. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should receive timely medication and pay close attention to self-care in daily life to avoid spicy foods.
