A major factor causing male infertility is azoospermia, which can be caused by many factors, such as high temperature and radiation. Therefore, if men want to stay away from infertility, they must pay attention to these causes and take measures. Next, let's take a look at the causes of azoospermia.
There are also many reasons for male azoospermia, which refers to the low survival rate of men's sperm, with a large proportion of azoospermia. To understand the origin of azoospermia, let's continue to look at the six major causes of azoospermia.
Six major causes of azoospermia
1. Lack of certain nutrients necessary for sperm survival in semen
Fructose is an extremely important substance that ensures the survival and activity of sperm. For example, when there is inflammation in the vas deferens, the fructose content in normal seminal vesicle fluid will decrease, affecting the survival of certain sperm.
2. Changes in semen acidity and alkalinity
The normal semen pH is between 7.2 and 8.9, which is slightly alkaline. The pH value of semen in azoospermia is lower than 7.2, and the acidity of semen is relatively high, which may be a factor causing sperm death. The decrease in semen pH value is related to inflammatory lesions of the reproductive organs, as bacterial metabolites can cause a decrease in semen pH value.
3. Insufficient oxygen supply
When there is inflammation in the reproductive organs, congestion, edema, blood stasis, and slow blood circulation can occur, resulting in a decrease in the oxygen provided by the blood, and sperm can die due to hypoxia.
4. Reduced zinc content
The normal content of zinc in semen should be 80-25? G/mL, and when prostatitis occurs, it can reduce the zinc content in semen to 50? Below g/mL, sperm are prone to death.
5. High temperature
Physical factors such as radiation can reduce the survival rate of sperm and lead to sperm death due to high local temperature, exposure to high-dose radiation, or long-term exposure to radiation.
6. Drug factors
Taking drugs that can damage sperm, such as Tripterygium wilfordii and cyclophosphamide, can cause azoospermia.
The causes of azoospermia are not limited to the six major factors mentioned above. Many of the causes are not yet clear, so we will not introduce them to men here. The six most common causes of male azoospermia are the above. Therefore, men must stay away from the above factors that cause male infertility and reduce their chances of infertility, which is the best method.
