What are the causes of male infertility?

With the increasing pressure of life and work, many people have developed many bad habits, such as staying up late, living irregularly, overeating, eating some stimulating food, drinking and smoking, etc. Under such circumstances, it has brought certain threats to the health of many people, causing many people to suffer from some diseases without knowing it. Nowadays, the phenomenon of male infertility is becoming more and more common, which has brought certain impacts to many families, and has also caused great psychological pressure on men, and even made men feel very inferior. Now let's talk about the causes of male infertility?

1. Abnormal semen in men

Semen abnormality is a very important cause of male infertility, mainly including azoospermia, oligospermia, asthenospermia, hematospermia, sperm abnormality and dead sperm, especially oligospermia, azoospermia, dead sperm and hematospermia are the main causes. Infertility caused by this reason is difficult to treat.

2. Male spermatogenesis disorder

Factors such as varicocele, congenital testicular dysplasia, cryptorchidism, orchitis or testicular atrophy, and endocrine diseases can all cause a decrease in sperm count, reduced motility, or sperm deformity, leading to infertility. Infertility caused by this reason is also difficult to treat.

3. Male sperm obstruction

Male sperm obstruction can also lead to infertility. For example, lesions in the epididymis, vas deferens, ejaculatory ducts and urethra can cause obstruction of semen transport, which is generally manifested as obstructive azoospermia in clinical practice, directly affecting male fertility. The treatment of infertility caused by this situation is mainly to restore the ability of the vas deferens to transport semen. Compared with the previous two causes of infertility, this treatment has greater hope.

4. Male ejaculation disorder

For example, impotence, genital malformation, trauma, which results in inability to have sex, or premature ejaculation, retrograde ejaculation, etc., means that semen cannot enter the female reproductive tract and cannot be conceived. Infertility caused by this reason can be improved with active treatment.

5. Other factors

In addition to the above main factors, male infertility is also caused by immune factors, disease factors, etc., such as excessive sperm antigenicity, seminal vesiculitis, prostatitis, abnormal prostaglandins, long-term heavy smoking, alcoholism, etc., which can all cause male infertility. Infertility caused by this reason can often be improved as long as the cause is removed.
