Introduction: Many men in life are troubled by infertility, so what are the reasons that lead to the occurrence of this disease? Below is an introduction to the possible causes of male infertility for everyone to understand.
What are the possible causes of male infertility
Hormonal abnormalities
Hormone abnormalities can cause male infertility. High prolactin, follicle estrogen or luteinizing hormone can cause testicular dysplasia, affect sperm activity and cause impotence. In addition, some patients may develop pituitary tumors, which can also lead to male infertility.
Abnormal structure of spermatic cord blood vessels
Abnormal vascular structure of the spermatic cord is one of the factors causing male infertility. The spermatic cord is usually located in the scrotum and the venous plexus in the groin of men, and it is usually connected with the large blood vessels in the epigastrium, which will cause the blood supply to the testes to return to the spermatic cord. When varicocele occurs, the blood flow velocity in the spermatic veins slows down, as congestion of the venous plexus can easily cause a local temperature increase in the testicles, which can easily hinder sperm production.
Congenital organ abnormalities
Congenital malformations of the sexual organs are not easy to correct in some patients, but if detected in a timely manner, surgery can generally be performed in childhood or earlier. However, often due to a lack of knowledge in this area or the embarrassment of going to the hospital for examination, patients miss the optimal treatment time, resulting in decreased fertility and even infertility.
Immunological infertility
If inflammation occurs in the male reproductive tract, such as prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, or viral infection of the vas deferens, testicles, etc., which can lead to inflammation, the human body is prone to immune dysfunction and the production of anti sperm antibodies. At this time, the blood testicular barrier will be damaged. During the examination, it is generally found that the titer of sperm with antibodies is very high. In fact, there may already be anti sperm antibodies on the surface of the sperm. These can prevent sperm from combining with eggs, ultimately leading to infertility.
