Patient's question:
My cousin got married several years ago, but his wife has never been pregnant. The whole family is very anxious. Later, they went to the hospital for a check-up, and the result said that the obstruction of the vas deferens in my cousin caused male infertility. I want to know the factors or causes of the obstruction of the vas deferens.Doctor's answer:
Hello, if only one side of the vas deferens is blocked, it has little impact on fertility. However, if both sides are blocked and sperm cannot be expelled normally, it will lead to infertility.1) Urinary and reproductive system infections: Such as epididymitis, prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, or epididymal and vas deferens tuberculosis, which can cause vas deferens obstruction, more commonly at the connection between the epididymis and vas deferens.
2) Injuries: Such as hernia repair surgery, varicocele surgery, or testicular tumor surgery, which can damage the vas deferens; hydroceles or spermatoceles surgery can damage the epididymis; prostate surgery can cause obstruction of the ejaculatory duct; or even without direct injury but postoperative infection, adhesion, or scar formation can compress or block the vas deferens.
3) Tumors: Such as epididymal tumors, seminal vesicle tumors, or prostate tumors, all of which can cause vas deferens obstruction.
4) Congenital malformations: Such as absence of the head, body, or tail of the epididymis, partial or complete absence of the vas deferens, non-connection between the vas deferens and epididymis, or underdevelopment of the epididymis, vas deferens, or seminal vesicles.
Recommendation:
It is recommended to undergo a detailed examination at the hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Additionally, maintain local hygiene and cleanliness in daily life, get adequate rest, and strengthen exercise. It is also recommended to take Jinghuo Su to comprehensively improve sperm quality, the number of normal-shaped sperm, motility, semen volume, semen liquefaction, and other sperm indicators, thereby increasing the success rate of pregnancy. Wishing you good health!
