Male infertility is a matter of great concern to us, because children are the happy bond of our family. Many men look healthy on the outside, but infertility makes them very painful, not just physical pain but psychological suffering. Psychological torture is a very painful thing for men. But some people say infertility can be inherited?
Some people have always suspected this issue, saying that infertility can be inherited, so how can infertility be inherited? From a genetic perspective, fathers are able to pass on their infertility to their sons. Da VIDPage of the Whitehead Institute of Biomedical Research suggests that some men with infertility problems can obtain a son through assisted reproductive technology, but these men may pass on infertility to their son.
We know that today's science is very developed, and even if a man has infertility, it is possible to use technology to make his wife pregnant. Scientists have known that a defect in a Y chromosome region (known as AZFC) is associated with infertility in 10% of cases. Previously, doctors did not know whether infertile male patients would pass on this defect to their next generation when they used technical means to overcome infertility. ICSI is the most commonly used technique for infertile men. This technology allows doctors to use very small amounts of sperm to impregnate a woman.
Will the child obtained through technology inherit infertility from men? Doctors believe there may be a possibility of genetic adoption, but now they know it's true. Dr. Page and his colleagues conducted a physical examination of the sons of three men who had AZFC defects. They found that all three sons had the same defects.
So we know that infertility can be inherited, so can we avoid it? This knowledge currently poses ethical issues for both doctors and parents. Can they eliminate male embryos before implantation in a woman's womb to avoid this predisposing disease? If they are willing to implant male embryos, at what age should they tell their offspring about infertility? Dr. Page said the key to the problem is that the strong demand for genetic advice is an important part of assisted reproduction.
Science tells us that infertility in men can be inherited, so we need to avoid the bad habits that cause us to become infertile. Some men are infertile due to the impact of work. In fact, long-term driving can lead to male infertility. Because long-term driving recycles exhaust pollution, we know that exhaust gas has a great destructive effect on human health.
