What are the causes of male infertility?

Patient's question:

I heard from a colleague that he developed infertility due to mental and environmental factors and is now undergoing treatment, but it's very troublesome. After hearing this, I felt very sad. I'm also curious about what kind of assistance one would need if they were to suffer from infertility.
Hello, what are the causes of male infertility?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the causes of male infertility are relatively complex. The main reasons are described as follows:
1. Abnormal semen
2. Spermatogenesis disorders
- Diseases of the testes, such as testicular tumors, tuberculosis of the testes, mumps orchitis, nonspecific testicular inflammation, trauma, or testicular atrophy after spermatic cord inversion, or absence of the testes, can all lead to spermatogenesis dysfunction and result in infertility.
3. Obstruction in sperm and egg fusion
4. Systemic factors and environmental factors
Sudden changes in living conditions may cause long-term mental stress; working in high-altitude, high-temperature, or ultra-high-intensity environments, or handling radioactive materials can also lead to infertility.
Infertility can be cured, but the treatment period is generally long, and relapse is common after treatment. Therefore, medication must be used according to symptoms during the treatment.
