What are the symptoms of male infertility?

In fact, in my life, it is not only women who suffer from infertility, but also men.

Symptoms of male infertility:

1. Increased and decreased semen volume

Generally speaking, the normal amount of semen discharged at one time is 2 to 6 ml. Less than 1.5 ml is considered as hyposeminosis, and more than 6 ml is considered as polyseminosis. Increased semen does not mean increased sperm count.

2. Hematospermia

There is blood mixed in the semen. In severe cases, the blood can be seen with the naked eye, which is called "gross blood-spermia"; in mild cases, the blood cannot be seen with the naked eye, but red blood cells can be seen under a microscope, which is called "submicroscopic hematospermia".

3. Semen does not liquefy

Symptoms of male infertility are that normal semen is a uniformly flowing liquid. If in vitro semen does not liquefy or still contains liquefied agglomerates after 60 minutes at room temperature (22-25 degrees Celsius), it is called "semen liquefaction syndrome", which affects the aggregation or movement of sperm, slowing down or inhibiting the normal movement of sperm.

4. White turbidity

It refers to the presence of semen mixed in a man's urine, or semen-like substance after urination.

5. Varicose vein

Varicose veins, a symptom of male infertility, refers to the dilation of the spermatic veins of the spermatic cord, which can obstruct blood return to the testicles, increase temperature, and disrupt metabolism. In addition, harmful substances cannot be excreted in time, which can cause testicular spermatogenesis disorders, resulting in oligospermia, sperm deformity, and decreased sperm motility, leading to infertility.

6. Sexual dysfunction

Symptoms of male infertility include erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, loss of libido and ejaculation disorders, which are important causes of infertility. Asexuality or retrograde ejaculation means that even if the couple has sex, not enough semen enters the vagina, and the sperm and egg cannot meet and combine.

7. Genital deformity or abnormal development

The more common manifestations of this symptom are genital malformations or abnormal development, including urethral stenosis, urethral fistula, cryptorchidism, hypospadias, epispadias and severe penile induration.

8. Genital itching, pain and other discomfort

Genital itching, pain and other discomfort symptoms are mostly caused by genital infection and chronic infection of the accessory gonads, which can affect various test indicators in semen and cause infertility.

9. Hidden testicles

Cryptorchidism is one of the important factors affecting semen quality. About 60% of patients with unilateral cryptorchidism are infertile. Therefore, if the sperm density is low and there is cryptorchidism, it must be treated as soon as possible.

10. Azoospermia

Symptoms of this type of male infertility include obstructive azoospermia and non-obstructive azoospermia. Obstructive azoospermia can be caused by infection or congenital spermatic cord defects. Non-obstructive azoospermia can be caused by congenital chromosomal abnormalities, cryptorchidism, and mumps in adolescence.
