Patient's question:
I am particularly eager to have a child, the more eager I am, the more difficult it is to conceive. Now that we have been married for a year and a half, we still have not become pregnant. Since I previously suffered from orchitis, I suspect that I may have male infertility. I would like to know what factors or causes can lead to male infertility?Doctor's answer:
Hello, male genital tract infections often cause orchitis, epididymitis, prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, urethritis, etc. The pathogens that cause genital tract infections include Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, viruses, mycoplasmas, Chlamydia trachomatis, and Trichomonas, etc.Among these, mycoplasma and chlamydia are the most common causes of genital tract infections. These factors or etiologies can all lead to infertility.
