The main reason for male infertility is abnormal semen, which is described in three points:
"Asperma or oligozoospermia. When the sperm density in the semen is less than 20 million/ml, the chances of a woman becoming pregnant are reduced. When it is less than 20 million/ml, infertility can be classified as permanent and temporary.". The former is seen in patients with congenital testicular development disorders or severe lesions of the Panwan pill or seminal tract; The latter is commonly seen in cases where excessive sexual activity leads to a one-time failure of spermatogenic function, typically due to reduced sperm count rather than total azoospermia.
Poor sperm quality: Inactive or excessive dead sperm in semen (more than 20% - 25% of people), poor sperm motility, or malformed sperm (more than 30%) can often cause infertility.
3. Abnormal physical and chemical properties of semen. After ejaculation, semen quickly coagulates into a gelatinous state, and then all liquefies within 15-30 minutes. "If semen does not coagulate after ejaculation, or if liquefaction is incomplete, it often indicates a lesion in the seminal vesicle or prostate.". Infection of the reproductive tract with bacteria and viruses can also cause changes in the composition of semen, leading to infertility. Sterility can be caused by more than 103 pathogenic bacteria/ml in semen and more than 104 non pathogenic bacteria/ml in semen.
These three abnormal semen manifestations are the causes of male infertility. After understanding this, it is warmly suggested that men who discover abnormal semen must undergo treatment to avoid causing infertility.
