Severe urethritis may lead to male infertility

There are many clinical symptoms of male urethritis, mainly frequent urination, urgent urination, burning pain when urinating, etc., which have a great impact on the patient's life and work. But did you know that urethritis can actually lead to infertility? It's so scary! !

The reasons why urethritis affects male fertility include:

1. Urethritis causes urethral stenosis and ejaculation dysfunction. Male urethral infection can directly affect the epithelium of the urethra, forming scars at the infected site. In severe cases, this can cause urethral stenosis, resulting in difficulty in urination, and can also cause ejaculation dysfunction.

2. Urethritis has a direct effect on sperm. Mycoplasma is a very tiny organism that can adsorb on the middle part of sperm and affect the vitality of sperm.

3. Induce the production of anti-sperm antibodies. Chlamydia and mycoplasma induce the human body to produce antibodies, and these antibodies may induce the human body to produce anti-sperm antibodies, thus causing infertility.

4. Urethritis causes infection of organs adjacent to the urethra. If it causes epididymitis, it can cause obstruction, making it impossible for sperm to be transported out of the testicles. If it causes prostatitis, there may be a large number of white blood cells in the semen, which will lead to infertility.
