Patient's question:
Married for over a year without children, my wife went to the hospital for a thorough examination and said there were no problems. Now my test results have not come out yet, and I am really very anxious. What are the causes of male infertility?Doctor's answer:
Infertility refers to couples living together without using contraception for more than two years without conception. The female undergoes a thorough examination and is found to be normal, while the male's examination reveals abnormalities. Common causes of the male's condition include congenital deficiency, insufficient kidney essence; insufficient kidney qi, loose seminal passage, or depleted kidney essence leading to uncontrolled leakage, or excessive sexual activity causing the kidneys to fail to store essence, or emotional stress causing endocrine imbalance of qi and essence, etc. In summary, the causes of this condition are not separated from the kidneys, kidney essence, qi deficiency, leading to kidney yang deficiency, kidney yin deficiency, or both kidney yin and yang deficiency. Infertility is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication treatment.
