Patient's question:
I feel some pain in the testicular area during sexual activity, and it has become more severe these past few times. The hospital examination said it was due to blocked vas deferens. However, when I touch it, I can't feel anything. How can the blockage of the vas deferens be confirmed?Doctor's answer:
The main causes of vas deferens obstruction are 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, results in impaired lumen patency, and in severe cases, azoospermia. Patients with vas deferens obstruction must seek timely medical attention at specialized hospitals for thorough examination and treatment to comprehensively improve sperm quality, the number of normally shaped sperm, motility, semen volume, semen liquefaction, and other sperm parameters, thereby increasing the success rate of pregnancy. In addition to quitting smoking and alcohol, avoiding spicy and irritating foods, and maintaining a balanced diet are also essential. For gynecological patients, in addition to timely treatment, it is necessary to pay attention to maintaining proper dietary habits in daily life to digest nutrients. I hope the above information is helpful to you. Thank you!
