What are the reasons for the formation of abnormal sperm disease? Can deformed sperm cause fetal malformations?
The causes of dysspermia include varicocele, urinary and reproductive tract infections, orchitis complicated by parotitis, epididymitis tuberculosis, etc. These diseases can all affect the quality of sperm; The use of hormones or certain chemical drugs, such as anticancer drugs, reserpine, marijuana, furans, etc., can cause immature sperm development; Irradiation of gonad can cause mutation of sperm; Long term high fever in the scrotum, long-term drinking and smoking, and chromosomal abnormalities can cause spermatogenesis aberration and lead to the increase of abnormal sperm. Varicocele is the most common cause of dysspermia.
Deformed infants may be caused by internal factors (such as chromosomes, genes, etc.), or external environments (such as viruses, Toxoplasma gondii, mycoplasma, chlamydia, iodine deficiency and endemic cretinism, heavy metals such as lead, mercury, and benzene, fluorosis, radiation, radiation from household appliances, computers, and mobile phones, air pollution, food pollution, diseases, and drugs, etc.), or more likely a combination of the two.
Abnormal sperm disease does not necessarily lead to fetal malformation. The female reproductive tract has the function of survival of the fittest. During the process of sperm passing through the female reproductive tract, most of the abnormal sperm will be eliminated (approximately 1:1400000), ensuring the quality of the fertilized sperm. It can be said that every new life is one in a million. But for the sake of safety, formal treatment is still essential, and pregnancy should be resumed after semen returns to normal.
After 3 months of traditional Chinese medicine conditioning, Xiaohuang's semen returned to normal, and his wife successfully became pregnant and gave birth to a healthy and chubby child.
Expert advice:
1. Before preparing to have a child, it is necessary to go to the reproductive medicine department of a reputable public hospital for a prenatal examination, and promptly seek treatment if any problems are found.
2. For those who can conceive naturally or after treatment, assisted reproduction is never advocated to ensure the natural survival of the fittest function of human beings.
3. After pregnancy, all factors that may cause fetal malformation should be avoided, especially those who are elderly and engaged in high-risk industries.
Folic acid tablets (0.4mg/day) can be taken orally for 3 months after pregnancy to prevent neural tube malformations.
