What causes male infertility?

Patient's question:

I only knew that infertility and female factors are closely related, but I didn't know that men also have so many infertility issues! The reason is that I had a thorough check-up at the hospital because we've been married for a year without having children. However, the doctor said that both my wife and I are normal, but seeing so many infertile men, what could be the cause?

Doctor's answer:

Generally speaking, nocturnal emission does not cause the above problems, and therefore it will never lead to male infertility. There is evidence that for patients with premature ejaculation, collecting the semen from nocturnal emission using a clean plastic bag and performing artificial insemination can help the woman become pregnant. However, excessive nocturnal emission can also cause the semen to become abnormal again, reducing the density of sperm in the semen, which can also affect normal conception. Infertility can be alleviated, but the treatment period is usually long, and there is a high risk of recurrence after treatment. Therefore, medication should be used according to the specific symptoms during treatment. Additionally, it is recommended to maintain a healthy lifestyle and diet during the treatment period. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible!
