Patient's question:
What are the causes of asthenozoospermia, and how did I get this condition? I have the habits of smoking and drinking beer, but I'm not heavily addicted. I don't exercise much and pay attention to hygiene, but my wife hasn't been able to get pregnant since we got married. A few days ago, I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up and was told that I had asthenozoospermia, and that I needed to be treated, otherwise it would interfere with pregnancy. What should I do now? Can it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Epididymitis, prostatitis, especially chronic prostatitis, can interfere with excretion and cause an increase in trace element zinc, all of which can lead to asthenozoospermia. You need to undergo professional and thorough examinations to confirm the cause and then receive targeted treatment. For patients with asthenozoospermia, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the condition. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take timely and appropriate medication and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
