Under normal circumstances, microcystis refers to an adult male with a testicular volume that is too small, around 1 milliliter. Is one of the main contributors to male infertility.
There are two conditions that can occur in patients with cryptorchidism:
1. Testicles produce sperm dysfunction. Sperm examination shows that the sperm count is less than 10000 per milliliter, indicating oligozoospermia, or that there is no sperm present in the semen, indicating azoospermia. The patient has extremely low fertility or no fertility.
2. Testicular endocrine dysfunction. "The level of male hormones produced is very low, resulting in stunted development of male secondary sexual characteristics, such as thin beard, axillary hair, pubic hair, no laryngeal nodules, and a childlike voice. In severe cases, feminization can occur, such as breast development, delicate skin, and increased subcutaneous fat.". "This type of patient often suffers from decreased libido and low sexual function after marriage, resulting in microcystis. One is congenital testicular dysplasia, also known as Klinefelter's syndrome. The incidence is about one in four male infants, mainly due to chromosomal abnormalities.".
"Due to the fact that a certain amount of male hormones can still be secreted inside the testicles, they still have sexual desire and function, and can also have normal ejaculation. However, the testicles produce sperm dysfunction, with no or few sperm in the semen, and thus lose their fertility.". The main treatment for this condition is to supplement the male hormone testosterone in order to restore the patient's male posture and maintain sexual ability. There is currently no good way to restore fertility.
The other is congenital adrenal hyperplasia. It is an endocrine disorder caused by a congenital deficiency of 21-hydroxylase in the body. The patient presents with pubertal precocity, with the development of male secondary sexual characteristics before the age of 1 year, but the testicles are very small, presenting with a phenomenon of pseudoprecocious puberty. Some people treat this disease with cortisone, which can promote testicular development.
