Will long-term kidney deficiency in men lead to infertility?

The kidney is a key part of the body, but it is also the most vulnerable part of the body. If you do not strengthen the protection of the kidney, you will inevitably bring yourself some irresistible troubles and damage. Although infertility is not a rare thing in today's society, it is not good to say it out loud, and it is also very bad for the body. So, will a man's kidney deficiency lead to infertility? Next, let the editor answer it for us.

Male infertility refers to a disease in which a couple of childbearing age who have been married and cohabiting for more than two years (without contraception) have reproductive dysfunction, resulting in infertility in the woman. Women of childbearing age who have not conceived after two years of cohabitation (without contraception) are called primary infertility; if they have not conceived again for more than two years after pregnancy or miscarriage, it is called secondary infertility or infertility.

The World Health Organization predicts that in the 21st century, infertility will become the third largest disease after cancer and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Currently, infertility accounts for 10% of couples of childbearing age in China, and there has been a gradual increase in recent years. In clinical practice, infertile couples are eager to have children and will try everything. In fact, there are many causes of infertility, and treatment must be based on the cause to achieve results.

Male infertility includes low sperm count, azoospermia, and dead sperm. Sperm does not liquefy, has low motility, and is of poor quality. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the kidneys store sperm and are responsible for reproduction. Kidney deficiency leads to spermatogenesis dysfunction, which may cause impotence, anejaculation, low sperm count, weak sperm count, and dead sperm, thus leading to infertility.

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, male infertility is not entirely caused by kidney deficiency. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the cause is mainly related to the dysfunction of the kidney, spleen, and liver: if the kidney qi is insufficient and the yin essence cannot be transformed, then the essence is insufficient and the blood is insufficient, and infertility occurs; if the spleen is deficient and the transportation and transformation are not functioning properly, then the essence is insufficient and infertility occurs; if the liver qi is stagnant and the function of dispersing and discharging is not right, then the qi and blood are unbalanced and infertility occurs. Therefore, the diagnosis of male infertility in traditional Chinese medicine is mainly divided into six types: kidney deficiency, spleen deficiency, liver depression, blood stasis, damp heat in the sperm chamber, and internal disturbance of deficiency heat.
