Male infertility is a common concern in many families, as having a healthy baby is not only the wish of each family, but also the wish of a man. There are many reasons for infertility, and these factors directly affect male infertility. So what are the reasons for infertility? Today's male infertility knowledge editor will tell you all.
1. Abnormal semen: If there is no sperm or the number of sperm is too low, the activity is weakened, and the morphology is abnormal.
2. Testicular abnormalities: There are three types of testicular abnormalities: 1) cryptorchidism, with infertility caused by unilateral cryptorchidism accounting for about 30% to 60%, and bilateral infertility accounting for 50% to 100%. Not only can it lead to infertility, but it can also induce malignant transformation; 2) Fetal damage to embryonic primordia due to adverse environmental factors; 3) Early testicular injury can be caused by injury during childbirth.
3. Acquired testicular injury: such as hernia repair surgery, hydrocele surgery, testicular fixation surgery, etc., damage testicular blood vessels, hinder blood supply, and cause testicular atrophy.
4. Obstruction of sperm transport: Tuberculosis of the epididymis and vas deferens can cause obstruction of the vas deferens, hindering sperm passage. Sexual dysfunction such as erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation cannot allow sperm to enter the female vagina.
5. Hydrocele of the tunica vaginalis: Hydrocele of the tunica vaginalis compresses the blood circulation of the testes, which can lead to testicular infection or atrophy. The incidence rate of the disease after puberty is 16% - 19%.
6. Endocrine factors: Oligospermia and azoospermia caused by pituitary, thyroid, and adrenaline dysfunction mediated by the hypothalamic pituitary testicular axis in males can cause infertility.
