Where does the sperm go if the vas deferens is blocked?

There are many reasons why a couple cannot have children. It may be that the wife has a problem, or the husband cannot get pregnant. Many men also suffer from infertility. There are many reasons for male infertility, among which vas deferens blockage is the most common one. This causes the male sperm to be unable to enter the female body, and pregnancy is impossible. So, where do the male sperm that is blocked in the body come from? Let's learn some basic knowledge about these aspects.

1. Where does the sperm go when the vas deferens is blocked?

Although the ejaculatory duct is blocked, the testicles will produce sperm every day. If it cannot be discharged, the sperm will be retained in the testicles and epididymal cysts, and then die and be absorbed by the body. In fact, men with normal ejaculatory ducts will also die if the sperm is not discharged in time, so don't worry, it will not affect your health, but it will affect pregnancy. If it is not treated in time, the symptoms will be more serious and surgery will be required, which is more troublesome.

2. Why can men still ejaculate even though their penis is blocked?

Don't think that you can't ejaculate after the ejaculatory duct is blocked. In fact, the fluid discharged is not semen, but at most seminal plasma, including semen and seminal vesicle fluid, without sperm. Semen and seminal vesicle fluid can be discharged without passing through the ejaculatory duct, so when a man has sex, he can ejaculate, but without sperm, just like after a man has had a vasectomy, which does not affect his ejaculation, but only without sperm.

The harm of vas deferens obstruction is very serious and must be treated immediately. For men without children, the harm is extremely great. It will cause infertility, because the male sperm cannot pass through the female vagina, and of course, pregnancy is impossible. Surgery is necessary. Patients who cannot conceive may develop a mentality of insecurity and depression after a long period of childlessness. This mentality accumulates in the heart for a long time and is easy to affect the patient's mental health.

When the vas deferens is blocked, sperm cannot be successfully discharged from the scrotum, or there are too few sperm to cause pregnancy. If only one side is blocked, very little sperm will be discharged, and the chance of pregnancy is still low. If both sides are blocked, there will be no sperm in the semen, and it is difficult to get pregnant. Therefore, it must be treated in time.
