What are the causes and symptoms of male infertility? I believe that male patients are eager to understand the issue of male infertility. When men experience infertility, they do not exhibit any symptoms during sexual activity. Most men find infertility due to years of sexual activity without contraception after marriage, but their wives are not pregnant, which means the symptoms are not obvious.
Reasons for male infertility:
The reasons for male infertility are not singular, such as congenital testicular development or genetic factors, while acquired infertility is caused by factors such as certain diseases. Therefore, it is necessary to go to the hospital for further examination. At that time, it should be emphasized that there are many reasons for male infertility, and it is not only men with sexual dysfunction who experience infertility. Some men have no symptoms, and some even have common problems such as lack of beard, pubic hair, or urgency to urinate. Therefore, once men discover similar symptoms, it is best to be vigilant if they occur for a long time.
The symptoms of male infertility are divided into two categories
1、 Symptoms not apparent:
1. When male infertility occurs, there will be abnormal semen: abnormal semen mainly includes the presence or absence of sperm, oligospermia and asthenospermia, hemospermia, sperm malformation and dead sperm, among which, oligospermia and asthenospermia, azoospermia, dead sperm and hemospermia are the main causes.
2. When men become infertile, it may also be due to the obstruction of semen transfusion: for example, the diseases of epididymis, vas deferens, ejaculatory duct and urethra can cause the obstruction of semen delivery, which is usually manifested as obstructive azoospermia clinically, directly affecting male fertility.
2、 Obstacle issues:
1. When men experience infertility, it is often accompanied by obstacles in their spermatogenesis, such as varicocele, congenital testicular dysplasia, cryptorchidism, orchitis or testicular atrophy, endocrine diseases, and other factors, which can cause a decrease in sperm count, decreased motility, or sperm abnormalities, leading to infertility.
2. When a man is infertile, or there are obstacles in the process of ejaculation, such as impotence, external genital malformation, trauma, which makes sexual life impossible, or premature ejaculation, retrograde ejaculation, semen cannot enter the female reproductive tract, nor can it be pregnant. In addition to the above main factors, there are also immune factors and disease factors that lead to male infertility, such as too strong sperm Antigenicity, seminal vesiculitis, prostatitis, prostaglandin abnormalities, long-term smoking, alcoholism, etc., which can lead to male infertility.
In short, there are many reasons why men experience infertility, and some symptoms are obvious while others are not. For the treatment of male infertility, relevant experts suggest that men first identify the cause of infertility and then receive targeted treatment, which can have a faster effect. However, for those caused by congenital genetic factors, there is little hope for treatment, and IVF can be used to fulfill their desire to become fathers.
