Questions
Are there chromosome abnormalities in male sperm? My wife and I have been married for three years without any pregnancy. Although my sperm appears normal, my wife has already undergone a checkup. In my situation, do I also need to check for chromosomes? How can we get pregnant?
Answers
The viability of grade 1 and 2 sperm in male semen needs to be above 50% to achieve normal conception. If the viability is below this standard, infertility may occur. There are many reasons for low sperm viability, such as inflammation of the male reproductive organs. The key to treatment is to determine the cause and then carry out targeted treatment. It is recommended to go to the hospital for color Doppler ultrasound and checks of male secretions and prostatic fluid. Further tests may be necessary to determine the cause and treat accordingly.
