Patient's question:
Please ask the doctor, I've been married for 2 years, but I haven't had any children. When I went for a check-up, the doctor said I'm infertile. What is the reason for 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, 20% of individuals who contract mumps during the early stage of puberty may develop secondary testicular inflammation, leading to infertility.
2. Postnatal testicular damage: Procedures such as inguinal hernia repair, hydrocele surgery, and testicular fixation surgery can damage the blood vessels of the testicles, obstruct blood supply, and cause testicular atrophy.
