What are the reasons for sperm malformation?

Patient's question:

Semen appears jelly-like. For a while, my wife has not been pregnant despite trying to conceive. When we went to the hospital for a check-up, they said the sperm were abnormal. What could be the reason for the abnormal sperm?

Doctor's answer:

The causes of abnormal sperm are several, and the two most important factors are the environment and hereditary transmission. Additionally, factors such as infection, high temperature, and varicocele also contribute. The reasons for abnormal sperm:
1. Exposure to radiation can damage the reproductive organs, leading to abnormal sperm.
2. Urinary and reproductive tract infections, orchitis caused by mumps (second-order neurons), epididymal tuberculosis, and varicocele can all affect sperm quality.
3. The use of hormones or certain chemical drugs, such as anticancer drugs and furans, can cause sperm to develop immaturely.
Everyone's situation is different, so only a professional and thorough examination can determine the specific treatment. Therefore, patients should seek medical attention promptly to avoid procrastination, as delays may make the condition more complex and difficult to treat.
