Can male genital malformation cause infertility? What is the harm of male genital malformation

Male infertility is caused by genital abnormalities, which can be divided into congenital and non-congenital, such as male genital abnormalities caused by trauma and surgical infection. The following are some common types of infertility caused by male genital malformations:

1. Penile malformation: mainly includes no penis, penile erectile tissue dysplasia, no glans, congenital severe bending of penis, severe phimosis or excessive prepuce leading to atrophic phimosis, and male infertility. Transposition of penis and scrotum is very rare, but partial transposition of scrotum is relatively common.

2. Urethral malformation: urethral atresia or no urethra, repeated urethra, hypospadias, etc. affect normal sexual life and fertility.

3. Testicular malformation: testicular insufficiency, segmental atresia of testis, unconnected testis, etc. About 5% of male infertility is related to testicular malformation.

4. Congenital malformation of testis: simple bilateral absence of testis is relatively rare and has no fertility. Unilateral absence of testis is more common than absence of testis. The urinary system is normal. Dysplasia of testicles and testes can lead to male infertility.

Experts noted that abnormal genitals can also affect the quality of sexual life between couples. If there is no penis, sexual intercourse is impossible, and fertility is even more impossible. Therefore, many men should pay attention to protecting their external genitals in their daily life, and strengthen their awareness and attention to andrology diseases, which will help prevent the occurrence of diseases. If you find any discomfort, you should go to a special hospital for examination and treatment immediately to avoid missing the best treatment opportunity.
