Causes of low testicular function

Low testicular function in men may lead to male infertility and should be taken seriously. Low testicular function can seriously affect sperm quality, lead to sperm deformity, reduce sperm count, and may indirectly lead to ejaculation dysfunction. Low testicular function can be caused by congenital diseases or acquired diseases. For example, heredity, diet, living environment, drug stimulation and living habits are all causes of low testicular function.

The specific causes of testicular dysfunction are as follows: Varicose vein

Infection, sperm antibodies, tumors, cryptic testes, endocrine disorders, chromosomal abnormalities, abdominal or pelvic diseases, certain medications, pesticides, exposure to heavy metals, X-rays or radiation, high testicular temperature, prolonged cycling, drug abuse, alcoholism
