Patient's question:
My colleague is suffering from infertility and receiving treatment at the hospital. What are the general things to pay attention to when treating male infertility?Doctor's answer:
1. Changes in dietary habits. Both picky eating or vegetarianism may affect the production and combination of sperm and eggs. Therefore, in terms of staple and supplementary foods, it is advisable to adjust them as much as possible to make them more diverse.2. Abstinence from alcohol and smoking. Excessive drinking and smoking in men can impair testicular function, affecting sperm development; in women, alcohol and smoking can disrupt endocrine function, leading to irregular menstruation, amenorrhea, and infertility. Infertility can be alleviated, but the treatment period is generally long, and relapse is common after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medications should be used according to symptoms. Additionally, it is recommended to adopt healthy lifestyle habits and maintain a balanced diet during the treatment period.
