Causes of infertility due to varicocele

Varicose vein infertility is a common disease among modern men. Most of them are caused by excessive masturbation, psychological and work pressure, and irregular diet and lifestyle. Varicose vein infertility is also one of the infertility symptoms. So what are the other reasons for the occurrence of this disease? Let us learn about it together.

1. Nutritional disorders: Due to venous blood stagnation, the blood circulation of the testicles and epididymis is affected, and the nutrients and oxygen they need are lacking, which will affect sperm production.

2. Increased scrotal temperature: After varicocele, the blood stagnation in the varicocele will cause the temperature in the scrotum to gradually increase, 0.6°C higher than normal on average, thus affecting sperm production.

3. Testicular endocrine dysfunction: Due to the increase in local temperature in the scrotum and insufficient blood and oxygen supply to the testicles, the endocrine function of the interstitial cells in the seminiferous tubules of the testicles will inevitably be affected.

Thereby affecting the production of sperm.

4. Destructive effects of oxygen free radicals: Studies have shown that when varicocele occurs, oxygen free radicals in testicular tissue increase, lipid peroxidation increases, and thus affects sperm

Occurrence and sperm function.

5. Congenital spermatic vein valvular insufficiency is the main cause of varicocele. It can also cause stagnation of spermatic vein blood, affecting the blood circulation of the testicles.

It causes ischemia and hypoxia of testicular tissue and obstruction of the supply of essential nutrients, thus affecting spermatogenesis.

6. Blood stasis and testicular damage: Testicular and epididymal blood flow stasis and small blood vessel embolism cause hypoxia and carbon dioxide accumulation in the tissues, damage the testicular spermatogenic epithelium, and reduce the number of sperm produced.

The quantity and quality will naturally decline.

7. Varicose vein damages the interstitial cells of the testicles, reducing testosterone secretion and peripheral blood testosterone levels, while blood follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and interstitial cell stimulating hormone (LSH) are increased.

(ICSH) increases, endocrine disorders, and even interferes with the occurrence and maturation of sperm

8. Toxin effect: Because there is a rich collateral circulation between the spermatic vein and the testicular vein, when the spermatic vein is varicositated, it causes blood to flow backwards, which can cause blood in the left adrenal gland and left renal vein.

The high concentration of toxic metabolites carried by the sperm flow into the testicles before being detoxified, causing sperm production to be disturbed, resulting in varying degrees of oligospermia, abnormal morphology, and motility.

Movement disorders, etc.

The above article describes the detailed causes of infertility caused by varicocele. After reading this, everyone must have a new understanding of this and have also mastered some knowledge about infertility. I hope this article can help more people who are troubled by the disease.
