Patient's question:
How quickly can the treatment for male infertility be effective? I've been feeling extremely frustrated lately. My wife and I have been married for almost two years, but she hasn't been pregnant yet. Now I really want to have a child. Later, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and found that I have male infertility. How quickly can the treatment for male infertility be effective?Doctor's answer:
The majority of male infertility is caused by abnormal semen and sperm, leading to conditions such as azoospermia (no sperm) or oligospermia (low sperm count). When the sperm density in semen exceeds 200 million/mL, the chances of the female giving birth decrease, and when it exceeds 2 billion/mL, infertility is triggered. This type of infertility can be categorized as permanent or temporary. Conditions such as oligospermia, asthenozoospermia (weak sperm), and azoospermia are quite common and should be diagnosed and treated early upon detection. Male patients need to implement self-psychological adjustments, promptly relax their mindset to alleviate and eliminate anxious emotions. Engaging in activities that allow self-expression, such as reading disliked books or participating in group sports, can be helpful.
