Patient's question:
I already have a daughter who is over four years old. Now, I want to have another child, but after trying to conceive for over a year, there's still no news. I'm not sure where the problem lies. Later, both of us went to the hospital for check-ups, and the results showed that my husband's sperm quality is not good. Besides causing infertility, does this condition pose any other health risks?Doctor's answer:
In clinical practice, when patients suffer from necrospermia, bacteria in the urethra often enter the prostate, seminal vesicles, vas deferens, epididymis, and testes through the ejaculatory duct, thereby causing inflammatory lesions and leading to conditions such as prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, or vas deferensitis, epididymitis, etc. Moreover, when bacteria begin to multiply in the reproductive tract, they often secrete harmful substances to damage sperm and disrupt the environment in which sperm survive, causing sperm death. It can even lead to blockage of the vas deferens, obstruction or absence of the epididymal duct, vas deferens, or ejaculatory duct.
