What are the general causes of dead sperm?

Patient's question:

What are the reasons for dead sperm, why is this happening, the semen test says the sperm are dead, this will affect pregnancy, and I need to be treated as soon as possible. I don't know what to do, I want to ask what the reasons are, is there a way to treat it, I haven't been married for long, and I don't have any children, what should I do?

Doctor's answer:

Azoospermia refers to a condition where, in some semen analysis tests, all sperm are found to be dead. Under normal circumstances, more than 70% of sperm should be able to live normally within 1 hour after ejaculation outside the body. If the dead sperm rate is below 40%, it can interfere with conception. The lifespan of sperm should always maintain a survival rate of over 20% within 6 hours. If no living sperm remain within 6 hours, infertility may result. Azoospermia can be alleviated, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment and use medications appropriately during the course of treatment.
