Male infertility is generally treated as a disease in medicine. In fact, recent medical research has shown that instead of saying that this is a common disease in men’s medicine, it is better to take it as a sign of some kind of disease. Because from the clinical point of view, for most infertile men, as long as the underlying disease is cured, infertility this sign is also gone. So what diseases can be detected from this sign of male infertility? Cryptorchidism The medical term for any testicle that is abnormally positioned or has not descended to the scrotum is cryptorchidism. According to statistics, about 10% of newborns and 2% of young children will find abnormal testicular position. Previously, it was thought that only bilateral cryptorchidism would affect fertility, but in recent years it has been found that unilateral cryptorchidism is associated with an infertility rate of about 67% or more. Although it is logical that a unilateral testis can fully compensate for the role of two testes, in fact, unilateral cryptorchid testis, due to the adverse effects of temperature, accordingly produces some kind of anti-sperm antibodies, thus depriving the normal testis of the role of sperm production. This is called “blood testis disorder” infertility, the chance of testicular tumors than normal men, and, due to traditional concepts of misconceptions, has not yet attracted the attention of the people, are generally found after marriage, infertility, when the effect of treatment is often not as good as in childhood. Chlamydia trachomatis infection Perhaps the conclusion of the study that trachoma causes male infertility will surprise you. In fact, due to Chlamydia trachomatis infection, it can cause urethritis, vasculitis and epididymitis as well as sexual dysfunction in men. What’s more, due to inflammation of the vas deferens, sperm motility is reduced, which in turn causes infertility. Mycoplasma infections According to research, a significant number of male infertility is related to various viral and bacterial infections. For example, mumps virus, gonococcus, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus albicans infections and mycoplasma infections between viruses and germs. Among them, foreign scholars in the examination of 2500 infertile couples, found that mycoplasma infection even accounted for 29.1%. Mycoplasma is a microorganism that often resides in all parts of the human body, most of which reside in the female vagina and cervix, and then transferred to the male urinary and reproductive system after sexual contact. In general, men with mycoplasma do not cause disease, but may experience acute symptoms such as frequent urination, urinary urgency and purulent discharge. This condition is a chronic infection with no specific symptoms, but it can lead to infertility. Mumps sequelae A survey found that many men are infertile, often dating back to a history of mumps in childhood. Mumps virus, in addition to the parotid gland “for mischief”, but also in the human body’s reproductive organs, nervous tissue and pancreas and other tissues and organs “trouble”. When it attacks the testicles, it can cause inflammation of the testicles, which is characterized by swelling and pain in the testicles, accompanied by fever, chills, nausea, vomiting and other systemic symptoms. These symptoms are not a big problem if they are only present, but the mumps virus can cause the testicular tissue to atrophy, especially the destruction of the seminiferous tubules, which are the “factories” that produce sperm. If both testicles are destroyed by the virus, lifelong infertility can occur and is difficult to cure. According to statistics, infertility in men due to testicular failure accounts for about 14% of cases, most of which are due to inflammation of the testicles caused by mumps. Varicose veins The occurrence of varicose veins (referred to as spermatic varicose veins) is due to the existence of congenital valvular insufficiency or dysfunction in the vein itself, coupled with certain adverse factors (such as excessive exertion), resulting in increased pressure in the veins of the spermatic cord, the formation of discoidal dilatation, so that the venous blood reflux is impeded, resulting in insufficient nutrition and oxygen supply to the testes, endocrine dysfunction, testosterone levels drop, thus inhibiting the production of spermatozoa. In addition, scrotum inflammation, chronic prostatitis, various types of sperm dysgenesis, etc. can trigger male infertility. Warm tips: men suffering from these diseases, not only triggered by infertility, if left alone, more importantly, will damage the health, resulting in lifelong pain. Therefore, male infertility must be treated early.
