Patient's question:
I have been married to my wife for three years, and so far, we don't have any children. We are very anxious about this. Recently, when we had a thorough check-up at the hospital, it turned out that there were no problems with her, but it was male infertility. What exactly does a thorough check-up involve?Doctor's answer:
General condition should be noted for any special body shape or systemic diseases. External genital examination should focus on the degree of penile development, meatus urethrae, testicular size, relationship between epididymis and testis, and whether there is inflammation of the spermatic cord (such as varicocele, inflammation of the vas deferens, etc.). Digital rectal examination should pay attention to the prostate and seminal vesicles, perform prostate massage, and take smears for careful examination. Infertility can be stable, but the treatment cycle is generally long, and it is prone to relapse after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's treatment, appropriate medication, and the development of good lifestyle habits during treatment are recommended. Proper diet should be maintained, and it is hoped that male patients can recover as soon as possible!
