Male infertility has brought pain to many families and placed heavy psychological pressure on many men. Due to environmental, psychological, and social factors, the quantity and quality of male sperm have shown a significant downward trend, posing a serious threat to male reproductive health. What are the causes of male infertility?
1. 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%.
2. Gravity effect: Men can reduce testicular spermatogenesis and lead to infertility when subjected to excessive weight bearing.
3. Psychological factors: Those who are excessively nervous often experience infertility due to erectile dysfunction.
4. Testicular abnormalities: There are three types of testicular abnormalities: ① Cryptorchidism, which not only leads to infertility but also induces malignancy; ② The embryonic primordia is damaged due to unfavorable environmental factors during the fetal period; ③ Early testicular injury can be caused by injury during childbirth.
5. Chromosome abnormalities: such as hermaphroditism, abnormal reproductive organs, etc.
6. 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.
7. Psychological factors: Those who are excessively nervous often experience infertility due to erectile dysfunction.
8. Blood supply disorder: arteriosclerosis patients and diabetes patients are often accompanied by testicular arteriole disease, which makes the ability to produce sperm decline and cause infertility.
9. Environmental impact: miners and boiler workers who overheat in the tunnel; Underwear is too tight; Excessive smoking and drinking; Under hypoxic conditions, it can affect fertility.
10. Genital organ infection: Infections such as bacteria, viruses, and protozoa can directly damage the testes, seriously affecting sperm production ability and reducing sperm activity, leading to infertility. For example, 20% of cases of mumps in the early stages of puberty are accompanied by orchitis, resulting in infertility.
Here, male friends who are infertile are advised to put down their psychological burden and go to the hospital for treatment, in order to recover as soon as possible.
