Introduction: The testicle is the main male sexual organ, whose function is to produce sperm, which combines with eggs to form new individuals, thereby ensuring the continuation of the human race. In addition, it also secretes male hormones, which can stimulate spermatogenesis and the development of male accessory organs and parasexual characteristics. Therefore, whether congenital developmental disorders or acquired testicular lesions caused by many factors can lead to infertility.
What are the causes of male infertility?
1. Testicular abnormalities:
① Cryptorchidism not only causes infertility, but also induces malignant transformation
② The embryo primordium is damaged due to adverse environmental factors during the fetal period
③ Early testicular injury, which can be caused by injury during childbirth
2. Chromosome abnormalities: such as hermaphroditism, reproductive organ development abnormalities, etc.
3. Acquired testicular injury: such as hernia repair, hydrocele surgery, and testicular fixation surgery, which damage the testicular blood vessels, hinder blood supply, and cause testicular atrophy.
4. Hydrocele of the tunica vaginalis: Hydrocele of the tunica vaginalis compresses the blood circulation of the testis, which can lead to infection or atrophy of the testis. The incidence rate of the disease after puberty is 16% - 19%.
5. Impact of gravity: When men are overweight, they can reduce testicular spermatogenesis and lead to infertility.
6. Mental factors: Those who are excessively nervous may suffer from infertility due to poor erectile function.
7. 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.
8. Drugs and Drug Effects: Excessive amounts of nicotine, alcohol, and opium can affect sperm production. Anti epileptic drugs have a direct impact on spermatogenesis.
9. Environmental impact: miners and boiler workers who overheat in tunnels, those who often take saunas, full-time drivers, etc; Underwear is too tight; Excessive smoking and drinking; Hypoxia can affect fertility.
10. Genital organ infection: Infections such as bacteria, viruses, and pathogenic insects can directly damage the testis, seriously affecting sperm production ability, and reducing sperm activity, leading to infertility. For example, 20% of mumps in pre puberty are associated with orchitis, resulting in infertility.
So how to prevent male infertility?
1. Vaccination should be carried out on time and good personal hygiene habits should be maintained to prevent various infectious diseases that harm male fertility, such as mumps and sexually transmitted diseases.
2. It is necessary to master certain sexual knowledge, understand the physiological characteristics and health knowledge of men, and promptly diagnose and treat testicular changes that are different from normal, such as swelling, hardening, unevenness, and pain.
3. If you frequently come into contact with radioactive substances, high temperatures, and poisons, you must strictly follow the operating regulations and protective regulations, and do not be negligent. If you want to have children recently, it is best to be able to leave such work for six months before giving birth.
4. The testicle is a very delicate organ, and its optimal working temperature should be about 1 degree lower than the human body temperature. If the temperature is high, it will affect the production of sperm. Therefore, any factors that can increase the temperature of the testicle should be avoided, such as long-term cycling, bathing in hot water, and wearing jeans.
5. Change bad habits, quit smoking and alcohol, and stop staying up late; Don't eat anything too greasy, otherwise it will affect your libido; In addition, it is also important to avoid contact with toxic substances in life. For example, clothes taken from dry cleaners should be stored for a few days before wearing, as dry cleaners can affect male sexual function.
6. Attention should be paid to pre marital physical examination, and early detection of abnormalities can avoid the pain after marriage. After marriage, you should often communicate with your wife about the problems encountered in sexual life, cooperate with each other, and understand each other. This way, many mental impotence or premature diarrhea can be avoided.
