Patient's question:
What is the meaning of oligospermia and asthenozoospermia? Why does this condition occur? My cousin has been married for a long time but hasn't had any children yet. Those who married later than him have already become pregnant, but they still don't have children, so the family is quite anxious. It is said that my cousin underwent a thorough examination and was diagnosed with oligospermia and asthenozoospermia. What should be done? Can it be treated? Can they still get pregnant?Doctor's answer:
Some causes of oligospermia and asthenozoospermia, how to cure them, are related to specific causes. Oligospermia and asthenozoospermia can be seen in testicular and epididymal inflammation, or they may be related to endocrine system inflammation, such as an increase in hypothalamic gonadotropin-releasing hormone leading to a decrease in gonadotropin secretion. Other factors, such as drug interference, radiation exposure, and illness, also have a direct relationship. If it is related to testicular inflammation, the treatment effect may not be good. If oligospermia or asthenozoospermia is caused by other factors, it can gradually improve with treatment. Detailed and thorough examinations are also needed to confirm the cause.
