Patient's question:
I have been married to my wife for two years. During this time, we did not take any contraceptive measures, but we have not had any children. My wife went to the hospital for a check-up and also took traditional Chinese medicine, but it had no effect. I suspect the problem might be with me—am I suffering from infertility?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the factors or causes of male infertility are as follows:1. Chromosomal abnormalities. Common ones include male pseudohermaphroditism, Klinefelter syndrome, and XYY syndrome.
2. Endocrine diseases. Disorders of testicular endocrine function, pituitary disorders, and adrenal gland diseases are also important factors or causes of male infertility.
3. Reproductive tract infections are relatively common. In recent years, with the increase in the incidence of sexually transmitted diseases, the prevalence and severity of reproductive tract infections such as prostatitis, epididymitis, orchitis, and urethritis have also increased, severely affecting male fertility.
4. Obstruction of the spermatic ducts. This affects the transport of sperm.
5. Abnormal testicular spermatogenesis, common in cryptorchidism. Physical and chemical factors such as toxins, magnetic fields, high temperatures, and trauma can all cause impaired spermatogenesis in the testes.
