Patient's question:
I've been married for several years, but so far, we haven't had any children. I'm very anxious about it and don't know if it's my problem. I've asked my husband to get checked, but he refuses. I'm afraid my condition will worsen. Could you please explain why I have blocked sperm ducts and what causes it?Doctor's answer:
Epididymal obstruction is a common cause of male infertility, accounting for 5%-15% of male infertility cases. The causes of epididymal obstruction may be related to factors such as hereditary transmission across generations, radiation industrial pollution, chemical industrial pollution, hormonal influences, viral infections, and environmental pollution.Why epididymal obstruction occurs varies depending on individual conditions, and treatment methods differ accordingly. If you have epididymal obstruction, it is important to seek treatment at a formal infertility hospital for symptomatic treatment. The primary approach should involve a targeted and thorough examination based on your specific situation, followed by treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
