Patient's question:
Hello, I've been married for several years and haven't been able to get pregnant. I went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with abnormal sperm. What are the reasons for having abnormal sperm?Doctor's answer:
The causes of abnormal spermia include urinary and genital tract infections, orchitis caused by the second-order neurons of mumps, epididymal tuberculosis, varicocele, and others. These can all lead to an increase in abnormal sperm, typically including double-headed sperm, which interferes with sperm quality. The use of hormones or certain chemical drugs, such as anticancer drugs, reserpine, busulfan, and furans, can cause sperm to develop immaturely. Radiation exposure to the gonads can lead to drastic changes in sperm. Long-term high fever in the scrotum and chronic alcoholism (especially high-concentration spirits) can both cause sperm to become deformed.
