Patient's question:
I was diagnosed with male infertility six months ago because of the lack of success in conceiving despite long-term efforts. I am very anxious, and my wife and I underwent thorough examinations and found that we both have infertility. How can this be treated?Doctor's answer:
Male infertility can be classified into two types based on clinical manifestations: absolute infertility and relative infertility. The former refers to complete infertility, such as patients with azoospermia, who fall into this category. The latter refers to a certain level of fertility, but the fertility level exceeds the critical threshold required for conception, such as patients with oligospermia or low sperm motility. Strictly speaking, as long as ejaculation occurs, the semen containing motile sperm has the potential for conception. Infertility is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication treatment. Moreover, for male patients, it is essential to seek medical attention immediately at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on the results of thorough examinations. Additionally, proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity should be maintained. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
