Patient's question:
I have been cohabiting with my husband for three years, but we have never been able to get pregnant. We have never used any form of contraception, yet we still haven't conceived. Now we are both very worried. Later, we went to the hospital for check-ups, and the results showed that the problem was with my husband—he has male infertility. It's very painful, and I'm now feeling very distressed.Doctor's answer:
Hello, the diagnosis and treatment of male infertility in traditional Chinese medicine have a long history, and many ancient physicians have made insightful observations. Ancient physicians placed great emphasis on internal factors in the onset and treatment of male infertility. In identifying the root causes, they primarily explored changes within the body's internal organs and systems. When investigating the pathogenesis, they advocated that deficiency should be considered the primary factor, with excess as the secondary. Among cases of infertility, a significant proportion is attributed to deficiencies and impairments. For infertile patients seeking traditional Chinese medicine treatment, visiting a specialized hospital is recommended. Based on the specific condition, a syndrome differentiation and treatment approach is adopted, which often yields effective results.
