Patient's question:
How is male infertility treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, if the male's sperm quality is problematic, medication is generally ineffective. Sperm issues are caused by the dysfunction of sperm production itself, and currently, there is no medication that can treat it. If the decline in semen quality is caused by inflammation, such as prostatitis or urethritis, anti-inflammatory treatment can improve semen quality. If it is confirmed to be oligospermia or asthenozoospermia, artificial insemination with collected sperm can be performed. This involves collecting and processing multiple semen samples to meet normal standards before artificial insemination. Additionally, sperm exhibits the highest vitality between 32°C and 37°C. If the temperature falls below this range, the vitality will decline. Some hospitals ask patients to collect sperm in the restroom. In winter, if the semen is released into a cooler container and the microscope is not equipped with a heating stage, placing a small amount of semen on a cold microscope slide for examination may give the false impression of low motility. It is advisable to consider visiting a reputable hospital with a dedicated sperm collection room and a constant-temperature examination bench for accurate diagnosis.
