Testicular atrophy refers to one of the symptoms of male testicular atrophy and flaccidity, also known as "testicular atrophy". It is characterized by one or both testicular atrophy, which is both small and soft. Most of them can cause infertility, mostly secondary to mumps or trauma, and also congenital. It is mostly caused by deficiency of kidney-qi or damage of pathogenic factors. In medicine, testicular atrophy refers to the gradual atrophy and reduction of testicles after they were normal for some reason. The reasons are as follows:
Virus infection is the most common cause of testicular atrophy in children and adolescents, especially mumps virus, commonly known as "mumps" disease. When the testis is attacked by this virus, the spermatogenic tissue in the testis will be damaged, the testis will shrink in size and become soft in texture.
The scrotum or testis has been damaged by impact, resulting in scrotal hematoma or testicular laceration. Even if the wound is healed, the testis will be in a state of insufficient blood supply and atrophy for a long time.
Inflammation severe orchitis, testicular swelling and pain can last for many days. Due to bacterial invasion, testicular tissue is damaged, resulting in testicular tissue atrophy.
The influence of radioactive substances on those who have been exposed to radioactive substances for a long time, such as those who have been engaged in X-ray, isotope and other professions for a long time, will cause testicular atrophy if they are not well protected.
Endocrine disease Testis is an endocrine organ, which mainly produces androgens. Many endocrine organs in the body, such as pituitary, adrenal gland, hypothalamus and other diseases, will interfere with the function of the testis and cause testicular atrophy.
Drugs affect long-term use of some toxic drugs, such as arsenic, or repeated use of estrogen drugs that fight androgens, which will cause testicular atrophy.
How should testis atrophy?
First of all, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital for testicular ultramicroscopic examination. The principle of this examination method is to use a clinical therapy with dual functions of diagnosis and treatment. It is to use the needle tube and needle for puncture under the digital microscope instrument, after the skin is routinely disinfected and anesthetized, puncture the needle through the scrotal skin into the testicle, extract the needle core, extract the needle tube to obtain a little testicular tissue, and then extract the puncture needle, If too little tissue is extracted at one time, it can be extracted from different parts for many times, and then the puncture site will be bandaged and the testicular tissue will be sent for examination.
After the cause of testicular atrophy is confirmed, the targeted treatment of activating testicular spermatogenesis can be used, which integrates the meridian theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the theory of yin and yang, and the endocrine theory of western medicine. According to the principle of dialectical treatment, the combination of traditional Chinese medicine, western medicine, acupuncture and moxibustion treatment, acupoint injection, and physical therapy has a good effect on oligospermia and asthenospermia. The sperm quality can be improved after more than three months.
