Many couples consider having children after career issues, but if a man suffers from infertility, it is easy to derail this plan. So what are the causes of male infertility? Below is an introduction to the common causes of male infertility for everyone to understand.
Causes of male infertility
Male dysfunction and related psychological disorders
Infertility caused by sexual issues is often overlooked by people. There are currently no exact statistics on the number of infertility caused by sexual issues, which involves various aspects such as knowledge, life, and function. Male dysfunction refers to the various manifestations of physiological abnormalities in men aged 20-50, including lack of physiological desire, low desire, and so on.
Reproductive and urinary tract infections
Infection leading to male infertility also accounts for a certain proportion of infertile patients. Male reproductive tract infections can often cause orchitis, epididymitis, prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, urethritis, etc. Pathogens causing genital tract infection include gonococcus, tubercle bacillus, virus, mycoplasma, Chlamydia trachomatis, trichomonas, among which mycoplasma and chlamydia are the most common.
Environmental factors such as haze
Haze is one of the reasons for the rapid increase in infertility in couples. "Experts analyze that on the one hand, haze contains heavy metals such as lead and manganese, which can affect the quality of male sperm; On the other hand, haze can affect a person's respiratory system, organ function, etc., which directly affects the secretion of male testosterone hormone, thereby affecting fertility.
Congenital Genital Malformation
Cryptorchidism is the most common congenital organ abnormality, which is the absence of testicles in the scrotum. It includes incomplete testicular descent, ectopic testicles, and so on. The testicles stay in the abdominal cavity and are exposed to relatively high temperatures, which hinders their growth and gradually shrinks, making them unable to produce sperm and lacking fertility. It should be noted that if the testicles stay in the abdominal cavity, the chances of developing malignant tumors will greatly increase. Therefore, cryptorchidism should be highly valued and corrected as soon as possible. Generally speaking, one should go to the hospital for surgery if they do not decline after the age of one.
Methods for preventing infertility
Premarital examination
This is the first step in ensuring fertility and eugenics. If, through examination, one or both of the male and female sex organs are found to have congenital malformations, diseases or endocrine disorders affecting fertility, tuberculosis and other systemic diseases, they should be cured before marriage to avoid infertility after marriage.
Actively preventing and treating inflammation of sexual organs
Multiple inflammations of both male and female genitalia are common causes of infertility. Whether it is daily health care, menstrual hygiene, marital intercourse, contraceptive measures, induced abortion, or gynecological examination, it is necessary to prevent sexually transmitted infections. Once a genital infection is detected, early treatment is necessary to avoid the sequelae of infertility.
Maintain a good mental state
Various negative psychological factors, such as long-term tension, depression, anxiety, boredom, and fear, can lead to sexual dysfunction in both men and women, which can easily lead to infertility. And once the negative psychological factors such as tension are relieved, there are not uncommon examples of rapid conception.
Eliminate adverse lifestyle factors
Smoking, alcohol abuse, and indiscriminate use of drugs (especially sleeping pills and estrogen and androgens) are one of the causes of infertility, fetal malformations, and natural miscarriage after marriage. Both men and women should quit smoking and drink less alcohol, and refrain from taking medication indiscriminately.
