Patient's question:
Got married for 4 years and started preparing for pregnancy after the wedding. We've never had a child, and we've started suspecting it might be our fault. I've undergone a lot of careful examinations and have been drinking traditional Chinese medicine for over a year. The doctor said there's nothing seriously wrong with me. Now I'm questioning whether it might be my husband's issue. What are the causes of male infertility?Doctor's answer:
Without contraception, if a couple has sexual activity and does not conceive within less than a year, it is referred to as infertility. There are multiple causes of male infertility, such as congenital factors like chromosomal disorders, endocrine factors, prostatitis, mumps, smoking, exposure to chemical substances and radiation, etc. It is recommended that the male undergo preliminary semen routine tests and male hormone tests at a regular third-class hospital level-A.
