What factors are the main causes of male infertility? The infertility doctor at Shenzhen Kunlun Urology Hospital stated that there are many reasons for male infertility, and only by going to the hospital for an examination can the cause of infertility be known. In symptomatic treatment, it can generally be cured, but the treatment must be timely and the condition must not be delayed.
Main causes of male infertility:
1. Mental factors: Those who are excessively nervous are often infertile due to erectile decline.
2. Blood supply disorder: arteriosclerosis patients and diabetes patients are often accompanied by testicular arteriole disease, which makes the ability to produce sperm decline and cause infertility.
3. Drugs and Drug Effects: Excessive amounts of nicotine, alcohol, and opium can affect sperm production. Anti epileptic drugs have a direct impact on spermatogenesis.
4. Environmental impact: overheated miners and boiler workers in the tunnel; Underwear is too tight; Excessive smoking and drinking; Hypoxia can affect fertility.
5. Genital organ infection: Infections such as bacteria, viruses, and protozoa can directly damage the testis, seriously affecting spermatogenic ability, and reducing sperm activity, leading to infertility. For example, 20% of mumps in pre puberty are associated with orchitis, resulting in infertility.
6. Testicular abnormalities: There are three types of testicular abnormalities: ① Cryptorchidism, which not only leads to infertility, but also induces malignant transformation; ② The embryo primordium is damaged due to adverse environmental factors during the fetal period; ③ Early testicular injury can be caused by injury during childbirth.
7. Chromosome abnormalities: such as hermaphroditism, abnormal reproductive organs, etc.
8. Acquired testicular injury: such as hernia repair, hydrocele surgery, and testicular fixation surgery, which damage the testicular blood vessels, hinder blood supply, and cause testicular atrophy.
9. Hydrocele of the tunica vaginalis: Hydrocele of the tunica vaginalis compresses the blood circulation of the testis, which can lead to infection or atrophy of the testis. The incidence rate of the disease after puberty is 16% - 19%.
10. Impact of gravity: In andrology, excessive weight bearing can reduce testicular spermatogenesis and lead to infertility.
