Patient's question:
I went to get a check-up a few weeks ago because I've been married for over a year and still haven't been able to get pregnant. The result showed that I have blocked vas deferens. I don't know if this is the factor or cause leading to infertility, so I'd like to come here to learn more specifics about it.Doctor's answer:
Hello, if only one vas deferens is blocked, it has little impact on fertility. However, if both sides are blocked, the inability to normally expel sperm will lead to infertility. The main factors or causes include:1) Urinary and reproductive system infections, such as epididymitis, prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, or epididymal and vas deferens tuberculosis, which can cause obstruction of the reproductive tract, more commonly at the junction of the epididymis and vas deferens.
2) Injuries, such as hernia repair surgery, varicocele surgery, or spermatic cord tumor surgery, which can damage the vas deferens; surgical treatment of epididymal spermatocele, testicular hydrocele, or hydrocele of the tunica vaginalis can damage the epididymis; prostate surgery can lead to obstruction of the ejaculatory duct; or even without direct injury, postoperative infection, adhesion, and scar formation can compress or block the reproductive tract.
3) Tumors, such as epididymal tumors, seminal vesicle tumors, or prostate tumors, which can all cause obstruction of the reproductive tract.
4) Congenital malformations, such as the absence of the head, body, or tail of the epididymis, a 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 vesicle.
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 physical exercise. It is also recommended to take Jinghuosu 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!
