Patient's question:
Doctor, my colleague has been unhappy these days. I asked her what was wrong, and she said her husband has a blocked vas deferens, so they haven't had children. It's not that he doesn't want them. Could a blocked vas deferens lead to male infertility?Doctor's answer:
Epididymal obstruction refers to a blockage in the ejaculation pathway, which prevents the smooth transport of sperm, thus unable to reach the uterine cavity to fertilize the female egg. This inability to form a zygote makes pregnancy impossible, resulting in male infertility. Therefore, it can be concluded that epididymal obstruction can lead to infertility.
