Patient's question:
What are the reasons for male infertility?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Male infertility can be related to the following factors:1. A history of prostatitis, hepatitis, or other diseases.
2. Conduct a routine semen analysis; if prostatitis symptoms are present, additional tests for prostatic fluid should be performed.
3. Test for antisperm antibodies.
4. If there is a history of habitual abortion or developmental abnormalities, karyotyping, ABO, and Rh blood type testing may be conducted.
5. For endocrine issues, various sex hormones can be measured first; if symptoms of diabetes or thyroid disease are present, corresponding tests should be performed.
6. If azoospermia is present, testicular biopsy and seminal tract imaging are required.
7. Recent studies have found that approximately 30% of infertile patients are infected with Ureaplasma urealyticum, so semen culture for this pathogen should be conducted.
