What diseases can cause male infertility?

Statistics show that the total incidence of infertile couples has increased significantly, accounting for about 10-15% of couples of childbearing age. Among them, male and female causes each account for 40%, and both causes account for about 20%. The proportion of infertility caused by male factors is increasing significantly. This trend is closely related to the increase in the incidence of male infections.

The tissues and organs in the male reproductive system are closely connected and their anatomical positions are very close. Often, one infection affects the entire body. Often, inflammation in one organ will quickly spread through the vas deferens and ejaculatory ducts. For example, the urethra is easily infected by external pathogens because it is connected to the outside world. In turn, it will spread upward to the prostate and other organs. Inflammations occur one after another, and the prostate is particularly vulnerable.

If the inflammation in the reproductive system can be treated in time, it can avoid the spread of this disease and provide a stable physiological environment for the production and maturation of sperm. If it is not cured for a long time, it will inevitably affect the testicles, vas deferens, epididymis and other parts, causing damage to the internal environment. Experts point out that if the reproductive system is often in an inflammatory state, it can affect the production, vitality and transportation of sperm, seriously affect the survival rate of sperm, and cause oligospermia, azoospermia and semen liquefaction syndrome. At the same time, prostatitis can also cause diseases such as male sexual dysfunction.

People who sit for long periods of time and have many social activities should be careful

Doctors remind men who need to sit for long periods of time due to work needs and men who often go out for social events to pay special attention, because this group of people is the high-risk group for male infections.

Doctors tell us that office workers who often stay up late to work overtime or sit for several hours without getting up are very likely to develop prostatitis, because when people are in a sitting position, the prostate is squeezed for a long time, becomes overly congested and swollen, and the resistance to pathogens is reduced, thus causing infection. Similarly, drivers should also be careful. Some drivers have the habit of holding urine, which is even worse and can easily cause chronic prostatitis, orchitis, urethritis and other urinary and reproductive infections, resulting in infertility.

Experts especially remind: Men who often have social events, such as public relations, sales personnel, etc. In order to achieve better work performance, they often put their health behind their minds, often smoke a lot, and accompany customers to drink, etc. It should be noted that tobacco and alcohol can not only directly reduce the survival rate of sperm, but also stimulate organs such as the prostate, which in turn causes reproductive infections and affects male fertility.
