Patient's question:
What is the reason for dead sperm, and why does this happen? We have been married for two years, and my wife has been struggling to get pregnant. Originally, we thought we should wait a bit longer, but the family has been constantly urging us. Every time I come back, they say, so we had a thorough examination. The examination results revealed that I have dead sperm, which may affect pregnancy. Now, what should we do? Can it be treated? How did it come about?Doctor's answer:
Asthenozoospermia refers to a condition where the vitality of sperm increases, with dead sperm accounting for more than 40%, or even most of the sperm in the semen being dead, resulting in a sperm vitality rate of 0. The causes of asthenozoospermia include:1. Inflammation of the sexual reproductive organs can cause congestion and edema in the reproductive organs, blood stasis, and cerebral edema, leading to sperm nearing death.
2. In chronic seminal colliculus inflammation, fructose excretion increases, causing sperm to near death.
3. In cases of orchitis, epididymitis, or prostatitis, especially chronic prostatitis, excretion is disrupted, and trace element zinc levels rise, interfering with sperm decomposition metabolism and causing sperm to near death.
