Patient's question:
Please ask the doctor, I have been married for 2 years, but I have never had children. I went for a check-up, and the doctor said I am infertile. What is the cause of male infertility?Doctor's answer:
The causes of male infertility include:1. Reproductive organ infections: Bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and other infections can directly harm the testicles, leading to testicular atrophy, testicular tuberculosis, destruction of testicular function, severely impairing sperm production and reducing sperm activity, resulting in infertility. For example, if mumps occurs during the early stage of puberty, it can cause 20% of cases to develop orchitis, leading to infertility.
2. Postnatal testicular damage: Procedures such as hernia repair surgery, hydrocele surgery, and testicular fixation surgery can damage the blood vessels of the testicles, obstruct blood supply, and cause testicular atrophy.
