Patient's question:
I got divorced from my wife three years ago and have always wanted a child. We didn't use any contraception, but she didn't get pregnant. We had a thorough check-up and found it was my problem. I want to know what the definition of infertility is?Doctor's answer:
Mainly involves the neuroendocrine regulation of the male reproductive system, spermatogenesis in the testes, maturation of sperm in the epididymis, and the mixing of sperm with seminal fluid excreted by the seminal vesicles and prostate during ejaculation to form semen. Sperm is expelled from the male reproductive tract outside the body and enters the female reproductive tract. Sperm fertilizes the egg in the female fallopian tube. In these stages, if affected or disrupted by diseases or certain factors, infertility can occur. Therefore, male infertility is not a disease in itself, but rather a result of one or many diseases and factors.
