Endocrine abnormality: the normal mental function of men depends on the normal function of the hypothalamic pituitary gonadal axis. Any link disorder will affect the mental function. Thyroid and adrenal diseases will also affect the function of the gonads, and the spirit will become less.
Varicocele: When varicocele occurs, the local temperature of testis is increased, the vasoactive substances are increased, and the spermatogenic function of testis is affected. However, the degree of varicocele is not proportional to the sperm quality. Varicocele is one of the common reasons for low sperm.
Urinary system infection: chronic infection of accessory gonads affects various examination indexes in semen, resulting in oligospermia.
