What symptoms can occur with vas deferens blockage?

Patient's question:

Hello doctor, I would like to ask what symptoms can occur with vas deferens blockage? I have been married to my husband for over a year, and I am not young anymore. I want to have children as soon as possible, but I have not been able to get pregnant. My husband and I are both very anxious. Later, it was said that my husband has a blocked vas deferens. I would like to know what symptoms can occur with a blocked vas deferens.

Doctor's answer:

1. When a man's vas deferens is blocked, it can cause the testicles to be normal in shape or slightly shrunken, but their texture is generally normal.
2. The most direct impact is that there are no sperm or a significant reduction in the number of sperm in the semen. In severe cases, it can even lead to male infertility.
3. The level of blood FSH in men is usually normal or may slightly increase. This is typically the most common symptom of blocked vas deferens in men.
4. Palpation of the epididymis or vas deferens is often abnormal. This is one of the most typical symptoms the patient currently has and is also a topic of concern for men. Men should pay sufficient attention to this phenomenon.
