Dear Expert,
Is testicular dysgenesis hereditary?
Can it be treated and recovered later?
Thank you for your patient response!
Doctor's answer:
Hello! The main causes of incomplete testicular development are as follows:First, endocrine abnormalities. If the endocrine system is abnormal, such as hypogonadotropic hypogonadism or pituitary microadenomas, it can affect testicular development, leading to incomplete testicular development.
Second, genetic factors, specifically chromosomal abnormalities. For example, Klinefelter syndrome, which is primary microorchidism or Sertoli cell-only syndrome.
Third, anatomical factors. In some cases, incomplete testicular development is caused by impaired blood supply during embryonic development or torsion of the spermatic cord during testicular descent. This is due to anatomical factors.
Fourth, infectious factors. The most severe case is mumps during childhood, which can cause viral orchitis and lead to testicular developmental disorders.
Focusing on male health must start from a young age to prevent the development of serious conditions, as some issues may be irreversible.
Fifth, trauma or surgical trauma. Some individuals may suffer testicular damage due to injuries in the testicular area during childhood, adolescence, or adulthood, or as a result of certain surgeries. This can also lead to testicular underdevelopment or atrophy.
The above five aspects are the main causes of incomplete testicular development.
