Male infertility refers to infertility caused by male factors. Generally, if the female partner does not conceive after cohabiting for more than 2 years without taking any contraceptive measures, it is called infertility, with an incidence rate of about 10%.
How long does it take to treat male infertility?
Many male infertility patients complain that the treatment cycle is too long, the effectiveness is too slow, and even many patients cannot persist in treatment. Treating this place for one month and that place for two months results in a waste of money, time, and no good results. We say that the treatment of male infertility (especially oligozoospermia, asthenosis, azoospermia, and teratogenesis) requires at least three months per cycle, which is determined by the spermatogenesis cycle.
Does it take at least 3 months to treat male infertility?
The testis is the place where spermatozoa are produced. The spermatozoa are gradually divided, developed and matured by the spermatid, that is, spermatogonium - primary spermatocyte - secondary spermatocyte - round spermatocyte - sperm. This process requires four spermatogenic cycles (16 days for a human spermatogenic cycle), about 64 days. The spermatozoa produced by the testis only have the basic structure of the sperm, but have no ability to move and fertilize, It must be stored in the epididymis for about two weeks before it can develop into mature sperm. Therefore, the process of sperm development determines that the treatment cycle for male infertility is relatively long, which takes about 3 months.
Persistence is the key to victory
Because there are many reasons for male infertility, there is basically no standard treatment plan for reference, and doctors can only treat patients according to their specific conditions and their own clinical empiricism. Therefore, patients must be patient in treatment. For a treatment plan, they must adhere to at least one course of treatment, never return a shot to another place, and constantly change doctors. As a result, it costs money and effort, and also complicates their own condition, In that case, it's better not to cure it.
