Is testicular biopsy harmful?

The testicle is the most important reproductive organ in the male body. Once a certain disease occurs in the testicle, it will cause great harm to the health of male friends. Infertility is a common one. Therefore, in the clinical treatment of male infertility, the commonly used method is testicular puncture biopsy. So, is there any harm in testicular puncture biopsy?

Everyone knows that the testicles are a very important reproductive part of men, and the popular "egg pain" on the Internet also means testicular pain. If there is an abnormality in the testicles, it will affect male fertility. In medicine, there is a term called "testicular puncture", which is a means of checking male infertility and plays an important role in semen and testicular diseases.

Testicular puncture is to puncture the testicles with a medical puncture syringe and needle in a sterile environment, extract a small amount of testicular tissue, and then examine and culture this testicular tissue.

1. Normally, there are about 300 to 1,000 convoluted seminiferous tubules in a man's testicles, and these convoluted seminiferous tubules are mainly connected to the testicular efferent ductules by dozens of small ducts. If only a small amount of testicular tissue is extracted, it will not have any effect on the structure and efferent ducts of the testicular convoluted seminiferous tubules.

2. However, patients should remember that if the testicular puncture operation is performed improperly or recklessly, it is easy for the testicular tissue to be damaged and even lead to postoperative infection, which may cause an immune response. However, patients can rest assured that testicular puncture will not cause any harm or side effects to fertility, nor will it have much impact on their own health. Patients can rest assured to check, so that the cause can be identified as soon as possible and targeted treatment can be given.

3. Of course, if the examination finds that the testicles have the function of producing sperm, but the vas deferens is blocked, surgery is needed to clear the vas deferens. If there is genital tract inflammation before testicular puncture, you can take diuretic and anti-inflammatory pills for treatment; it can treat genital tract inflammations such as chronic prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, orchitis and epididymitis.

From the above, we can see that when people use testicular puncture biopsy to treat male infertility, the possible hazards are postoperative infection or vas deferens blockage and various reproductive tract inflammations. Therefore, before and after the testicular puncture biopsy operation, the patient needs to pay attention to the surgical care in advance.
