Patient's question:
My friend went to the hospital for a check-up a few days ago. The doctor said he had deformed sperm and explained that this condition was caused by poor lifestyle habits, radiation from mobile phones and computers, and long hours of overtime under immense stress. I've never heard of this before and always felt it wasn't an easily treatable disease.Doctor's answer:
The causes of teratozoospermia include urinary and genital tract infections, orchitis complicated by mumps, epididymal tuberculosis, varicocele, and others. These conditions can all lead to an increase in abnormal sperm, with typical examples being bifid sperm, which affects sperm quality. The use of hormones or certain chemical drugs, such as anticancer drugs, reserpine, busulfan, and furan derivatives, can cause immature sperm development. Radiation exposure to the gonads can induce mutations in sperm. Long-term high fever in the scrotum or chronic excessive alcohol consumption (especially high-proof spirits) can also cause sperm deformities. It is recommended that you visit a hospital for a thorough examination to identify the specific cause and receive targeted treatment.
