Patient's question:
I have been married to my wife for 5 years, and my parents have always been urging us to have a child. However, my wife's stomach has never shown any reaction. After some tests, it was found that there was no problem with her, so it must be me. If this is the case, what are the chances of curing male infertility?Doctor's answer:
The main cause of male infertility is abnormal semen, and other contributing factors mainly include:1. Antisperm immune response generated by the male himself and antisperm homologous immune response generated by the female, which can lead to immunological infertility.
2. Obstruction of the male reproductive tract, abnormal sperm structure, and abnormal seminal fluid, all of which affect the normal combination of sperm and eggs, hindering the growth and development of the fertilized egg.
3. Physiological and chemical factors such as cryptorchidism, varicocele, magnetic fields, high heat, and trauma can cause abnormal sperm production in the male testes, also leading to male infertility.
4. Endocrine disorders can also cause male infertility. Endocrine disorders may trigger endocrine diseases, such as hyperprolactinemia, which can lead to male infertility due to a lack of gonadotropins.
5. High incidences of prostatitis, epididymitis, orchitis, and urethritis are common, and these are reproductive tract infections that may cause male infertility, severely affecting male fertility.
6. Male sexual dysfunction can also lead to male infertility, such as emotional tension during sexual activity. Side effects of certain medications or other factors may cause conditions like erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, anejaculation, or retrograde ejaculation, preventing sperm from entering the female reproductive tract normally, hindering the combination of sperm and eggs, and ultimately causing male infertility.
Based on your condition, it is recommended that you visit a reputable and large hospital for examination to confirm the diagnosis and receive appropriate treatment. Wishing you good health.
