Male infertility is a common male disease. In life, there are many newly married families, and due to their own reasons, the woman cannot conceive. Patients with male infertility should receive timely treatment in order to have healthy and intelligent babies, because infertility is not difficult to treat. So, what are the causes of male infertility?
The cause of male infertility is also a problem that requires male friends to understand and pay attention to. Although people with infertility can recover their health through treatment, they are also reluctant to go to hospitals.
1、 Disordered and unclean sexual life
Disordered and unclean sexual life can easily cause male reproductive tract infections. Pathogens that cause genital tract infections include gonococci, tuberculosis bacilli, viruses, mycoplasma, chlamydia, and trichomonas, among which mycoplasma and chlamydia infections are the most common. Genital tract infections first affect sperm production and transportation, leading to oligospermia and a decline in reproductive capacity. Genital tract infection can also cause changes in sperm motility. Genital tract infection can inhibit the secretion of accessory gonads, resulting in insufficient secretion of semen, nutrient deficiency of semen, changes in pH, and changes in semen composition, which can affect the growth environment of sperm, causing a serious decline in sperm motility and quantity, leading to infertility.
2、 Smoking and drinking
Men are quite sensitive to toxins in tobacco and alcohol, especially reproductive cells. According to research, nicotine in tobacco leaves has the effect of reducing sexual hormone secretion and killing sperm. "For those who smoke 30 cigarettes a day, the sperm survival rate is only 49%, and the secretion of male hormones in smokers is 16% to 47% lower than that in non smokers, resulting in a corresponding reduction in the ability to produce sperm.". Prolonged alcohol abuse can damage spermatogenic cells in the testis and affect sperm production.
3、 Damage to testicles in a warm environment
For example, long-term high-temperature work, hot water bathing, and long-term wearing of tight pants can cause obstacles to the function of the scrotum to regulate temperature. Many men wear tight pants for a long time in order to show a strong and beautiful figure. However, tight pants can firmly attach the scrotum and testicles, preventing the heat dissipation function of the scrotal skin from being fully exerted, thereby increasing the local temperature of the testicles and hindering sperm production.
In addition, wearing tight pants can also limit and hinder blood circulation in the scrotum, forming testicular congestion, leading to infertility. The testicle is an organ that produces sperm. During spermatogenesis, the temperature of the testicle must be between 35.5 ℃ and 36.5 ℃, which is 1 to 1.5 ℃ lower than the normal temperature. Frequent bathing with very hot water, especially in a tub or sauna, can affect the spermatogenic function of the testicles by keeping the scrotum in a high temperature state.
The above points are all causes of male infertility. In ancient China, pregnancy seemed to have nothing to do with men. With the progress of science and social development, everyone has gained more understanding of male infertility. For men with infertility, it is important to face up to their own diseases, let alone avoid medical treatment, in order to recover as soon as possible.
