What are the factors or causes that lead to vas deferens blockage?

Patient's question:

Now my husband has been diagnosed with a condition called blocked vas deferens, so I have not been pregnant until now. He is currently undergoing treatment, but I don't know what factors or causes may have led to this condition. I wanted to come here to consult a doctor.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if only one vas deferens is blocked, it has little impact on fertility. However, if both sides are blocked and sperm cannot be expelled normally, it will lead to infertility.
1) Urinary and reproductive system infections: Such as epididymitis, prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, or epididymal and vas deferens tuberculosis, which can cause obstruction of the vas deferens, more commonly occurring at the junction of the epididymis and vas deferens.
2) Injuries: Such as inguinal hernia repair, varicocele surgery, or spermatic cord tumor surgery, which can damage the vas deferens; hydroceles or spermatoceles surgery can damage the epididymis; prostate surgery can cause obstruction of the ejaculatory duct; or even without direct injury, postoperative infections, adhesions, or scar formation can compress or obstruct the vas deferens.
3) Tumors: Such as epididymal tumors, seminal vesicle tumors, or prostate tumors, all of which can cause obstruction of the vas deferens.
4) Congenital malformations: Such as the absence of the head, body, or tail of the epididymis, partial or complete absence of the vas deferens, non-connection between the vas deferens and epididymis, or underdevelopment of the epididymis, vas deferens, or seminal vesicles.
Recommendations:
It is recommended to undergo a detailed examination at the hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Additionally, in daily life, it is important to maintain local hygiene and cleanliness, get adequate rest, and strengthen exercise. It is also recommended to take Jinghuo Su to comprehensively improve sperm quality, the number of normal-shaped sperm, motility, semen volume, semen liquefaction, and other sperm indicators, thereby increasing the success rate of pregnancy.
Wishing you good health!
