Patient's question:
During a thorough examination in the hospital, the number of dead sperm in the semen was quite large. What are the reasons for the sperm being on the verge of death? I am very concerned about getting an answer from the experts as soon as possible. First of all, thank you very much.Doctor's answer:
Dead sperm refers to a situation where multiple semen analyses show no abnormal sperm morphology and density is within the normal range, but the majority of sperm are dead. Typically, after semen is expelled outside the body within one hour, if the percentage of normal surviving sperm is below 70%, such as in cases where dead sperm are below 40%, it can interfere with conception. The causes of dead sperm are many, including physical injuries, as well as lifestyle-related factors. It is best to promptly visit a hospital for a thorough examination and verification.
