One of the many problems faced by men is male infertility, which accounts for about 15% of married couples in China, with about 50% being caused by male factors. There are many reasons for male infertility, such as congenital dysplasia, cytogenetics chromosome abnormality, hypothalamus pituitary gonad dysfunction, endocrine dysfunction, sexual dysfunction, genital tract infection, and even psychological factors. Genital tract infection is one of the most common factors.
Male reproductive tract infections often cause orchitis, epididymitis, prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, urethritis, etc.
The pathogens that cause reproductive tract infections include Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, viruses, Mycoplasma, and other non-specific pathogens, among which Mycoplasma and Chlamydia are the most common causes of reproductive tract infections. Genital tract infection can affect sperm production, sperm motility and sperm transport, resulting in oligozoospermia and reduced male fertility. Tuberculosis of the reproductive system can inhibit spermatogenesis and transport, and even cause testicular atrophy due to orchitis. Genital tract infections can also cause azoospermia due to obstruction of the vas deferens.
After reproductive tract infection, it can also cause changes in the liquefaction time of semen. Any dysfunction of prostate secretion caused by any reason can lead to a lack of semen liquefaction factors in semen, leading to semen non liquefaction syndrome. Non liquefaction of sperm can prevent it from swimming freely in a viscous liquid, often a direct cause of infertility.
As for the reason why men are prone to infection, Dr. Chen said that in recent years, the incidence rate of sexually transmitted diseases has increased year by year, which not only makes the number of men infected with reproductive tract rapidly expand, but also causes great harm to women's health. The prevention and treatment of reproductive tract infection is an important countermeasure to reduce the incidence rate of male infertility. Firstly, attention should be paid to preventing cross infection within the family, such as preparing a complete set of cleaning products for girls, including washbasins, towels, etc. If a family member has a reproductive tract infection, they should seek timely diagnosis and treatment at a reputable hospital, use reasonable medication for formal treatment, and promote early diagnosis, treatment, and standardized treatment.
Remind people who frequently travel, travel, and reside in public dormitories or rented houses for a long time to develop good hygiene habits, eliminate sources of infection, and reduce the chances of infection. People suffering from reproductive tract infectious diseases should not enter the swimming pool consciously. Patients should not blindly self medicate or seek medical attention. Instead, they should seek medical attention from a reputable hospital and receive systematic treatment in order to reduce or avoid the harm of reproductive tract infections and the occurrence of infertility.
If you have infertility, you must not avoid such a problem. As a man, you should face it bravely, go to a regular hospital for examination and find the true cause of infertility, and receive targeted treatment in order to receive good treatment.
