Can testicular abnormalities lead to infertility? Expert introduction: The testicle is the most important organ in men, and new life also comes from it. Its main task is to produce sperm. So can testicular abnormalities lead to infertility? Abnormal testis will bring a lot of concerns to men, because once abnormal testis will lead to spermatogenesis, followed by infertility. Next, experts will provide you with a detailed introduction.
We all know that another important function of the testicles is the secretion of male hormones. The development of male accessory organs and sexual characteristics relies on male hormones to stimulate sperm production. The following aspects all include abnormal testicular infertility:
1. Cryptorchidism with abnormal testicular infertility: This refers to the failure of the testicles to descend to the scrotum according to normal development. Normal testicles descend from the retroperitoneum to the scrotum in the fetal period, but if they stay in any part of the waist, abdomen, inguinal canal inner ring, inguinal canal or outer ring during the descent process, it is called cryptorchidism.
2. Testicular torsion with abnormal testicular infertility: This condition usually occurs simultaneously with torsion of the spermatic cord. When the spermatic cord twists, the blood vessels inside the spermatic cord also twist, causing disorders in testicular blood circulation and causing testicular ischemia or necrosis.
3. Anorchidism due to abnormal testicular infertility: This case is extremely rare and the cause has not yet been identified. Patients without testicles have male external reproductive organs and male appearance, but they have developmental disorders of male secondary sexual characteristics.
4. Monorchism due to abnormal sterility of testis: Monorchism refers to that male has only one testicle. Usually, the development of the penis and secondary sexual characteristics is normal.
5. Abnormal testicular infertility: Polydidymosis refers to a male having multiple testicles, with one testicle present in addition to two normal testicles.
