What causes male infertility

Patient's question:

Hello expert, my sperm mortality rate is high, I urgently want a child of my own, what should I do? How is male infertility caused?

Doctor's answer:

1. Reproductive organ infection: Infections caused by bacteria, viruses, protozoa, etc., can directly harm the testes, leading to testicular atrophy, testicular tuberculosis, destruction of testicular tissue, severely affecting sperm production ability and reducing sperm activity, resulting in infertility. For example, 20% of individuals who contract mumps before the early stage of puberty develop secondary testicular inflammation, leading to infertility.
2. Postnatal testicular injury: Procedures such as hernia repair surgery, hydrocele surgery, and testicular fixation surgery can damage testicular blood vessels, obstruct blood supply, and cause testicular atrophy.
3. Obstruction of sperm transport: Tuberculosis of the epididymis and vas deferens can block the vas deferens, hindering sperm passage. Sexual dysfunctions such as impotence and premature ejaculation prevent sperm from entering the female vagina.
