What is male infertility
If a married couple cohabits for more than two years without taking any contraceptive measures, and the woman never becomes pregnant, it is called infertility. According to relevant literature reports, 10% to 15% of married couples experience infertility. Infertility is caused by the male partner, which is called male infertility. The physiological activities of male reproduction mainly include a series of processes such as spermatogenesis, maturation, semen formation, ejaculation and sperm egg fertilization. Different factors that interfere with any of the above processes can affect fertility and cause male infertility.
Scientific judgment of male infertility
The general procedure for diagnosing male infertility: Firstly, it should be clear whether it is male infertility or female infertility, or whether both parties have infertility diseases; If it is male infertility, it should be clarified whether male absolute infertility or relative infertility is primary or secondary infertility; Finally, the cause of male infertility should be identified.
The examination and diagnosis methods of male infertility generally include detailed medical history, physical examination, laboratory examination, imaging examination and other examinations.
Firstly, doctors will collect detailed and complete medical history, which is an important basis for determining the diagnostic approach. Generally, inquiries should be made from aspects such as marriage and childbirth history, sexual life history, past medical history, and family member medical history.
Secondly, the examination includes the differential diagnosis of male infertility such as height, weight, posture, appearance and obesity, including congenital testicular malformation, injury and dysplasia. At the same time, prostate massage can be done to take prostatic fluid and send it to the laboratory for examination.
Next is the laboratory examination to rule out factors such as epididymitis, seminal vesiculitis, urogenital inflammation, prostatitis, and other bacterial infections. In addition, semen examination is an important diagnostic item for male infertility, which can reflect the quality of sperm produced by the testes, the smoothness of the seminal tract, and the secretion function of the epididymal glands.
