How to prevent male infertility? What are the causes?

Patient's question:

Got married for two or three years without taking any contraceptive measures, but still haven't been able to get pregnant. How can male infertility be prevented? What are the reasons?

Doctor's answer:

The causes of male infertility include:
① Chromosomal abnormalities
② Endocrine disorders
③ Genital tract infections. (In recent years, with the increasing incidence of sexually transmitted diseases, the rates and severity of genital tract infections such as ⑴ prostatitis, ⑵ epididymitis, ⑶ orchitis, and ⑷ urethritis have risen, increasingly affecting male fertility)
④ Obstruction of the male reproductive tract affecting sperm injection.
⑤ Abnormalities in testicular spermatogenesis.
⑥ Abnormalities in sperm structure and seminal fluid. These affect sperm motility, capacitation, and acrosome reaction.
⑦ Immunological infertility.
⑧ Male sexual dysfunction, such as ⑴ erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation, ⑵ anejaculation, and ⑶ retrograde ejaculation, can all lead to male infertility.
Preventive measures:
Adopt healthier habits, avoid smoking and drinking; do not consume excessively greasy foods, as they can affect male libido.
