Patient's question:
He is my boyfriend. Two years ago, he underwent a thorough examination, and the results showed dead sperm, uneven testicular descent, and he is very thin. He has been taking Chinese medicine for a year without any improvement. I want to know if dead sperm can still be treated?Doctor's answer:
If diagnosed with asthenozoospermia, it refers to a condition where the vitality rate of sperm increases, with dead sperm accounting for less than 40%. This condition is one of the causes of male infertility. It refers to a situation where some semen tests show no abnormalities in sperm morphology or density, but the majority of sperm are dying. Under normal circumstances, within 1 hour of ejaculation, more than 70% of sperm should be viable. If dead sperm account for less than 40%, it can affect fertility. The causes of asthenozoospermia include:1. Inflammation of the sexual reproductive organs can cause congestion and edema in the reproductive organs, leading to blood stasis and cerebral edema and hypoxia, which can cause sperm to die prematurely.
2. In chronic prostatitis, fructose excretion increases, leading to premature sperm death.
3. In conditions such as orchitis, epididymitis, and prostatitis, especially chronic prostatitis, excretion is affected.
