Patient's question:
The manifestations of male infertility—how can one say that a man will never get pregnant, what are the symptoms? I feel it's my own reason that I will never get pregnant because I used to live with my ex-girlfriend when we were together, but she never got pregnant. Now my wife has been married for over a year and still won't get pregnant, so I'm worried it's my fault. I haven't had a thorough check-up yet. I want to ask what are the symptoms of male infertility and what detailed tests need to be done?Doctor's answer:
Male infertility is mainly caused by poor sperm quality and function. Some of it may not have obvious symptoms, while some diseases that lead to poor sperm quality will have symptoms. For example, if you have prostatitis, you may experience obvious symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, or incomplete urination. If varicocele leads to poor sperm motility, this can cause a feeling of fullness or discomfort in the lower abdomen. It is necessary to first undergo a thorough examination of the semen routine to determine whether it is your problem. For infertile patients, timely treatment can reduce the incidence, while delayed treatment can affect your physical condition.
