Description of Symptoms and Questions: Doctor, hello. I have been married for 8 years. In the second year, I had a child, but after a miscarriage, I haven't had any children for the next 5 years.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the main factors or causes of male infertility include a low sperm count, high abnormal sperm rate, poor sperm motility, as well as ejaculation dysfunction or obstruction of the seminal fluid output pathway. Many congenital diseases and acquired conditions, such as chronic health issues, unhealthy lifestyles, and other multiple factors including living environment, diet, medication, and daily habits, are all significant factors or causes of male infertility. Through the treatment of male patients, their spouses, or both simultaneously, a considerable portion of male infertility can be treated.
Medical Advice: It is recommended that patients visit a regular hospital for a comprehensive examination to identify the underlying cause and receive targeted treatment. While undergoing treatment, it is advised to take Jinghuosu to comprehensively improve sperm quality, the number of normal-shaped sperm, motility, semen volume, semen liquefaction, and other sperm indicators, thereby increasing the success rate of pregnancy. Additionally, it is recommended to quit smoking and drinking alcohol, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and maintain a balanced diet.
