Patient's question:
We plan to get married this May Day. Although it is no longer advocated to have pre-marital health checks now, we still had one. The detailed check results showed no issues on my side, but there were problems with my husband, specifically low sperm count and weak sperm, which said it might lead to infertility. How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Treating oligo-asthenozoospermia should focus on identifying the underlying cause, and symptomatic treatment should be administered based on the identified cause. If varicocele is the cause, surgical treatment should be performed promptly. If it is due to reproductive organ inflammation, active and thorough elimination of the inflammation is necessary. If there is a deficiency of certain nutrients, timely supplementation is required. If it is caused by endocrine factors, endocrine treatment should be conducted. In summary, only by identifying the cause and providing symptomatic treatment can there be a possibility of self-recovery from oligo-asthenozoospermia.For oligo-asthenozoospermia, Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that it is primarily caused by endocrine imbalances in the kidneys, liver, and spleen. The kidneys store essence and govern prenatal development; kidney deficiency can lead to impaired sperm production, potentially resulting in conditions such as impotence, retrograde ejaculation, oligozoospermia, asthenozoospermia, and necrozoospermia. The kidneys store essence.
