Male reproductive tract infections often cause orchitis, epididymitis, prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, urethritis, etc. The pathogens causing genital tract infection include gonococcus, tubercle bacillus, virus, mycoplasma, Chlamydia trachomatis, trichomonas and other non-specific pathogens, of which mycoplasma and chlamydia are the most common. Genital tract infection can affect sperm production, sperm motility and sperm transport, resulting in oligozoospermia and reduced male fertility. Tuberculosis of the reproductive system can inhibit spermatogenesis and transport, and even cause testicular atrophy due to orchitis. Genital tract infections can also cause azoospermia due to obstruction of the vas deferens.
Genital tract infections can also cause changes in the liquefaction time of semen. Any dysfunction of prostate secretion caused by any reason can lead to a lack of semen liquefaction factors in semen, leading to semen non liquefaction syndrome. Non liquefaction of semen can prevent sperm from swimming freely in viscous fluids, often a direct cause of infertility.
In recent years, the incidence rate of sexually transmitted diseases has increased year by year, which not only makes the high-risk population of male reproductive tract infection expand rapidly, but also causes great harm to women's health.
The prevention and treatment of reproductive tract infection is an important countermeasure to reduce the incidence rate of male infertility: attention should be paid to the prevention of cross infection within the family, as well as to reduce or even eliminate the chance of infection in public places. Early diagnosis, treatment, and systematic and standardized treatment are advocated during treatment.
