Patient's question:
What are the causes of dead sperm? I have already had a child, so now I can have a second child. We are thinking about trying to get pregnant again, but it has been more than a year, and we still cannot get pregnant. We are worried, so we went to the hospital for a thorough check-up. The doctor said that there are many dead sperm in my semen test, which may affect pregnancy. But why is that? Can it be treated now?Doctor's answer:
The survival rate of sperm should always remain above 20% within 6 hours. If there are no viable sperm within 6 hours, infertility may result. Dead sperm conditions are prone to recurring, requiring long-term medication for maintenance. For male patients, it is important to seek treatment at professional and reputable hospitals promptly, and treatment should be considered based on thorough examination results. Additionally, sexual activity should be restricted, and a positive mood should be maintained. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
