Patient's question:
How much does the cost of treating male infertility? What are the reasons causing it? This condition has not improved so far, and I am quite worried about the situation. My family is also very concerned.Doctor's answer:
There are several reasons that can lead to azoospermia, which can be categorized into the following types:1. Absence of sperm-producing cells. In many azoospermic men, their vas deferens only contains Sertoli cells. The causes include exposure to cytotoxic drugs, reflexes, or some factors during fetal development.
2. Primary testicular dysfunction. This may be due to genetic defects across generations, undescended testicles, physical injury to the testicles, or testicular dysfunction caused by mumps during puberty, all of which can affect fertility.
3. Endocrine disorders. Common examples include: pituitary functional hypofunction or hyperfunction, pituitary tumors, adrenal functional hypofunction or hyperfunction, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, etc. These conditions can all impair sperm production and lead to azoospermia.
