Sperm is a symbol of male fertility, and without it, how can humans reproduce. Therefore, attention must be paid to male azoospermia and active treatment should be taken. So, what are the causes of male azoospermia?
Why do men get azoospermia
1. Testicular lesions: testicular trauma, inflammation, torsion, and testicular vascular lesions.
2. Harmful substances: Factors such as radiation damage and drugs, especially cytotoxic drugs, can cause damage to testicular spermatogenic cells, and can cause azoospermia in severe cases.
3. Hereditary disease: An autosomal or sexual chromosomal abnormality that affects testicular sperm production.
4. Diseases: Endocrine diseases, pituitary hyperfunction or hypofunction, pituitary tumors, adrenal hyperfunction or hypofunction, hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism can affect sperm production and cause azoospermia. Severe systemic diseases and malnutrition can also lead to azoospermia.
5. Congenital testicular abnormality: Abnormal testicular development or abnormal testicular position can cause sperm production disorders.
Prevention of azoospermia and daily health care
1、 Quit smoking: Men who smoke more than one pack a day have weaker sperm motility than non smokers. However, after quitting smoking, special attention should be paid not to be anxious, as it can cause a decrease in testosterone, which can lead to decreased sperm count.
2、 Take Medicine with Caution: Drugs for treating depression, malaria, and certain blisters can affect sperm production. Therefore, when it is necessary to use those drugs, a doctor's advice should be sought in advance.
3、 Avoid intense running: Intensive running can reduce sperm motility, so running in moderation should not be too intense, and the likelihood of azoospermia will also be reduced.
4、 Don't take long breaks: Find something light or heavy to do. Don't be lazy, but don't do too much physical work. Rest and physical labor should be moderate.
5、 Not long-term abstinence: If the genitals are often congested, the temperature of the scrotum will increase, resulting in decreased sperm vitality. Therefore, long-term abstinence should not be tolerated.
6、 Wake up at night to urinate: It is a good habit to urinate at night, which will be beneficial to the production of sperm and reduce the possibility of azoospermia.
