What are the common causes of dead sperm?

Patient's question:

Married to my wife for many years, without any contraceptive measures, but she has never been pregnant. After checking at the hospital, I learned about it. Why would someone suddenly get dead sperm syndrome? What are the main causes? What are the common reasons that can lead to dead sperm syndrome?

Doctor's answer:

The cause of blood loss in necrospermia is as follows:
1. Systemic factors: Long-term malnutrition, smoking, drug abuse, excessive mental stress, and frequent sexual activity.
2. Local factors: Orchitis of the second-level neuron of the parotid gland, testicular tuberculosis, and varicocele.
3. Autoimmune factors: Sperm and seminal plasma may produce antibodies that counteract their own sperm, leading to male infertility. Ejected sperm undergo self-aggregation and fail to penetrate cervical mucus.
4. Congenital developmental abnormalities, such as bilateral cryptorchidism and congenital testicular dysgenesis.
Necrospermia refers to a condition where sperm viability increases, and a detailed semen analysis reveals that dead sperm account for more than 40%. It is one of the important causes of male infertility.
