Patient's question:
When I was young, I had surgery for a hernia. Now that I'm married and planning to have children, I didn't expect that six months later, I would discover infertility. My wife couldn't get pregnant, so I went for a checkup and found that I had blocked vas deferens.Doctor's answer:
Injury can cause damage to the vas deferens, such as during inguinal hernia repair surgery, varicocele surgery, or spermatic cord tumor surgery. Epididymitis and seminal vesicle abscess can affect the epididymis. Prostate surgery can lead to obstruction of the ejaculatory duct or, indirectly, cause pressure or blockage of the male reproductive tract.
