Everyone knows that the vas deferens is a conduit for transporting sperm. If the vas deferens is blocked, sperm will not be able to be expelled from the body and women will not be able to conceive. Having a child can only be a luxury.
What factors can cause blockage of the vas deferens?
1. Congenital anomaly
Congenital abnormality of vas deferens is the main factor leading to male vas deferens blockage, such as dysplasia of epididymis, underdeveloped seminal vesicle, underdeveloped prostate, ejaculatory duct, etc., which makes the vas deferens and epididymis unable to connect normally.
2. Surgery caused
Surgery can also cause blockage of the vas deferens, such as prostate surgery, hernia repair, varicocele surgery, and spermatic cord tumor surgery. If these diseases are not taken seriously during the surgery process, they can damage the vas deferens and cause blockage. Therefore, it is important to choose a professional hospital for treatment.
3. Male diseases
Male diseases are also one of the main factors causing obstruction of the vas deferens in men, such as epididymitis, prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis or epididymal vas deferens tuberculosis, testicular tumors, seminal vesicle tumors, etc.
What are the hazards of blocked vas deferens?
1. Causing infertility
If the vas deferens is blocked, the sperm can not be ejected normally, but stay in the position where the vas deferens is blocked, so it can not normally combine with the egg to form a zygote, which naturally becomes sterile.
2. Causing illness
If the vas deferens is blocked, there may be no sperm in the semen, which will also lead to azoospermia, oligospermia, abnormal palpation of epididymis and other diseases in men.
3. Testicular atrophy
A man can produce over 1 trillion sperm in his lifetime. If the vas deferens are blocked, sperm cannot be discharged normally, causing an increasing amount of sperm in the testicles, which compresses the testicles. Over time, this can lead to testicular atrophy, not only preventing the testicles from producing sperm, but also causing abnormal male endocrine function.
4. Affects family relationships and increases personal psychological burden
Some people want to have children, but the male vas deferens are blocked, causing a decrease in male fertility. This not only brings significant psychological pressure to men, such as low self-esteem, sadness, and other pessimistic emotions, but also may lead to tension among family members.
How to prevent and control blocked vas deferens?
1. In daily life, pay attention to personal hygiene and it is recommended to clean private areas every day to prevent the infection of various pathogens.
2. Stay away from dangerous factors such as radiation pollution, chemical pollution, hormone effects, viral infections, environmental pollution, etc.
3. Quit smoking and drinking, and eat less greasy and spicy food.
4. Do not ride a bicycle, take a hot bath, wear jeans, etc. for a long time to avoid high testicular temperature that affects sperm production.
5. If there are diseases such as hernia and varicocele, it is recommended to choose a professional hospital for surgery to avoid damage to the vas deferens due to improper surgery.
