After more than 1,000 days of waiting, Mr. T. (35 years old, living in Dong Nai) and his wife received great news, the wife became pregnant naturally. This is the result of a persistent treatment journey.
Before that, Mr. T. and his wife had been married for 3 years but had no children. Many hopes and disappointments caused both of them to fall into heavy psychological pressure. Every time he saw his wife sad, Mr. T. became more determined, afraid that the dream of a complete family would be far away. When he arrived at the hospital, he brought his only concern to find a way to have children's laughter in the small house.
Through in-depth examination and testing, doctors discovered that prolactin levels in his blood were abnormally high, along with MRI images showing a small seilar tumor. Diagnosis of infertility due to a yeotechnic tumor increases prolactin secretion, a rare cause but can be effectively treated if detected early.
Instead of surgery, doctors choose to treat internal medicine with prolactin inhibitors, combined with close monitoring. After only two months, Mr. T.'s prolactin levels returned to normal, physiological function improved significantly and sperm quality recovered.
As a result, the couple recently received good news of a natural pregnancy. Sometimes we thought we would never have children. Now, the miracle has come. We are grateful to the doctors at Gia Dinh People's Hospital," Mr. T. said emotionally.
MSc. Dr. Nguyen Huynh Dang Khoa - Gia Dinh People's Hospital, said that the cause of female infertility is something that is rarely thought of in male infertility. With a methodical diagnosis process and personalized diagram, the doctors helped the patient avoid unnecessary surgery and restore reproductive function in a short time.
Dr. Nguyen Xuan Toan - Head of the Department of Nephrology - Urology, Gia Dinh People's Hospital, said infertility is a condition in which a couple cannot conceive after a year of regular relationship without using birth control. This problem affects about 15% of couples worldwide, of which men account for 50% of the cause. Factors that cause male infertility can come from sperm, sperm obstruction or hormonal disorders.
He recommends that men should have regular general health check-ups and reproductive health check-ups, maintain a scientific lifestyle, eat a nutritious diet, exercise regularly, avoid smoking and alcohol excessively. Men should also not arbitrarily use drugs or functional foods to increase vitality without a doctor's prescription and need to see an early doctor when there are unusual signs such as reduced desire, erectile dysfunction, and small testicles.
He emphasized that many infertile cases can be successfully treated with drugs only if detected early, so priority should be given to trying to conceive naturally before applying assisted reproductive methods.
