Patient's question:
I have been married to my wife for over two years. When preparing to have a child, I had a semen analysis done at the hospital and found that there were no sperm present. A vas deferens examination revealed that it was blocked. Could you explain why it might be blocked?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the common factors or causes of epididymal obstruction are:1. Congenital abnormalities.
2. Inflammatory stenosis.
3. Tumors.
4. Trauma or surgical damage.
Epididymal obstruction prevents fertility because sperm need to pass through the epididymis to reach the female uterus. Obstruction of the epididymis causes azoospermia (no sperm). With active cooperation in treatment, it can still be cured. Seek medical attention early and wish you good luck.
