Patient's question:
If the rate of abnormal sperm is high, is it necessary to have blood tests to check the male's chromosomes?If there are chromosomal abnormalities, what impact will it have? Will it lead to the birth of a deformed child?
Doctor's answer:
The causes of teratozoospermia include urinary and genital tract infections, orchitis complicated by mumps, epididymal tuberculosis, varicocele, and others. These can all lead to an increase in abnormal sperm, with typical examples being bifid sperm, which affects sperm quality. The use of hormones or certain chemical drugs, such as anticancer drugs, reserpine, busulfan, and furan derivatives, can cause sperm to develop immaturely. Radiation exposure to the reproductive organs can induce mutations in sperm. Chronic high fever in the scrotum or long-term excessive alcohol consumption (especially high-proof spirits) can also cause sperm to become deformed. It is recommended that you undergo further examination to identify the underlying cause and receive targeted treatment to improve sperm quality. Wishing you good health!
