What are the causes of dead sperm?

Patient's question:

Got pregnant for a year without success, consulted a doctor, and the doctor recommended a detailed semen quality check, as the semen might be dead sperm. What's going on?

Doctor's answer:

If you doubt the dead sperm, there are generally two reasons. One is that there is a problem with your own hereditary issue, meaning the sperm lack vitality from the moment of production. The other is that you have severe prostatitis, which can also cause the sperm to be dead. It is recommended that you have a thorough examination of your prostatic fluid. If there are no major issues, then you may need to undergo a testicular biopsy. There is nothing else to worry about. Dead sperm problems are generally treatable.
