Patient's question:
Relatives didn't realize that male relatives could be infertile. They didn't ask because the wife kept saying she couldn't get pregnant. They went to a nearby hospital for a check-up. It wasn't a direct fallopian tube blockage, but it wasn't completely blocked either. The issue was with sperm production, which was caused by varicocele. What interference does varicocele have on male infertility?Doctor's answer:
Due to the lower local temperature in the scrotum, the blood supply and oxygen supply to the testes are insufficient, which affects the endocrine function of the interstitial cells in the seminiferous tubules of the testes, leading to abnormal sperm production and causing infertility. Due to the congestion of venous blood flow, the blood circulation of the testes is impaired, and the supply of nutrients and oxygen needed is insufficient, affecting the abnormal production of sperm. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
