Patient's question:
I've been divorced from my wife for two years, but I haven't been able to get pregnant. I even had surgery at the hospital, but it didn't work. My wife had a thorough check-up and said there were no abnormalities. I want to ask if it's because of my low sperm count that I can't get pregnant? How can I find out if I have a low sperm count?Doctor's answer:
Azoospermia refers to a condition where sperm density is normal but the percentage of rapidly forward-moving sperm increases, being less than 25% or the percentage of forward-moving sperm being less than 50%. It is recommended that you have a thorough examination of your semen to determine the quantity and characteristics of the sperm, as well as the liquefaction time, which can reveal whether azoospermia is present. The causes of azoospermia include iatrogenic factors, systemic diseases, drug abuse, smoking, congenital abnormalities, varicocele, and more. Specific and detailed examinations are required. Men with urological conditions can, while receiving standard medical treatment, also incorporate dietary therapy as a complementary treatment in their daily lives. Proper dietary habits should be maintained, avoiding stimulating foods.
