Suggest Treatment For Infertility In Men
Hello, We recently learned that my husband had zero sperm in his ejaculate during a recent sperm analysis. The doctor suggested he do blood work and see a Urologist to learn more however a few days later and a week stay in the hospital we learned my husband endured a Pulmonary Embolism. He is now taking Coumadin and working with his doctor to keep this monitored. My questions: is there any correlation between the blood clots and his lack of sperm? Also, does Coumadin have any male fertility/infertility history? Thank you in advance!

Hello, thanks for the query.
First of all there can't be any possible relationship between pulmonary embolism and lack of sperms in semen as the blood clots won't affect blood supply to the testes.
Secondly, coumadin doesn't cause male infertility . The cause of male infertility is unlikely because of the above mentioned.
