Patient's question:
Last week, I went to the hospital for a health check-up and was found to have a condition of blocked vas deferens. However, it is not yet very serious. I would like to ask how effective the treatment for blocked vas deferens can be.Doctor's answer:
The main causes of vas deferens obstruction include congenital abnormalities, where the vas deferens fails to develop or develops improperly, leading to reduced semen volume or azoospermia. Inflammatory stenosis, caused by various pathogens leading to inflammation of the vas deferens and the formation of scars, resulting in impaired lumen communication and, in severe cases, azoospermia. Tumors: Tumors originating from the vas deferens itself or adjacent reproductive organs can obstruct the lumen. Trauma or surgical damage, such as from inguinal hernia repair, can also cause lumen obstruction.1. Resection: Surgical removal of the spermatic cord, seminal vesicle, or prostate tumor or cyst.
