According to the World Health Organization standards, couples of childbearing age have normal sexual life for more than one year, and there is no contraceptive measure to judge infertility. In excluding the female infertility problem, if the female fails to conceive due to the male reason, it is called male infertility. Male infertility is generally caused by infection of reproductive organs, such as orchitis, epididymitis, or varicocele. At the same time, if men's immune system function is abnormal, produce anti-sperm antibodies, or suffer from sexual dysfunction diseases, it will also lead to infertility. In addition, it may also be due to endocrine dysfunction. Now more and more young people have the symptoms of infertility after marriage, most of which are caused by men. If they want to solve this problem, they need to take measures to treat the inducement. Many factors are leading to male infertility. So how is male infertility caused? Five factors are making trouble. 1. Genital infection Most male infertility is caused by infection of reproductive organs, such as orchitis, acute and chronic prostatitis, epididymitis, seminal vesiculitis, etc. At this time, if they can't get anti-infection treatment in time, inflammation will gradually invade the vas deferens, which will lead to abnormal gonadal secretion function. Moreover, the spermatogenic function will also decline, and then there can be adverse symptoms such as sperm morphological changes and decreased vitality. At this time, it will naturally lose fertility. For infertility caused by these diseases, men need active treatment to avoid severe symptoms. Traditional Chinese medicine Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill is a good choice. It adheres to the characteristics of the holistic treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, and it can treat not only the diseased area but also inhibit the further spread of inflammation. 2. Varicocele Varicocele is a significant inducement leading to male infertility, mainly because the disease will expand the tendril venous plexus at the spermatic cord. At this time, the blood reflux of the testis will be hindered, which can gradually cause spermatogenesis disorder, resulting in sperm deformity and oligospermia. 3. Abnormal immune function When the male immune system function is abnormal, the blood-testis barrier will be seriously damaged. At this time, the body may have an immune response and produce anti-sperm antibodies. This antibody will lead to the decline of sperm quality and prevent sperm and egg binding. 4. Sexual dysfunction Some men have obstacles to their sexual function. They may have impotence, premature ejaculation and spermatorrhea, or diseases such as long prepuce. At this time, they will cause infertility because they cannot have normal sexual intercourse or retrograde ejaculation. 5. Endocrine dysfunction Endocrine dysfunction will lead to abnormal gonadotropin secretion, especially when the hypothalamus and pituitary function are abnormal, the testicular function of patients will be seriously affected. If male patients have infertility, in addition to actively treating diseases, daily care is critical. Male patients should pay attention to the protection of testicles and other reproductive organs. The testis is a very delicate organ. Its best working temperature is about 1 degree lower than human body temperature. If the temperature is high, it will affect the production of sperm, so avoid cycling for a long time, taking a hot bath, wearing jeans, etc. Patients can also actively participate in physical exercise to enhance the body's resistance. Appropriate physical exercise and outdoor activities are beneficial to male infertility patients. Adhering to daily practice can adjust nervous mental work or neurohumoral disorders, such as jogging or walking for 30 minutes every day. At the same time, they should pay attention to self-psychological adjustment. If males have infertility, don't give themselves too much psychological pressure. They should prevent it in time. Do a good job in self-psychological adjustment, do not carry the mental burden, relax and adjust the tense state of mind in time, and alleviate and eliminate anxiety. They can do something they like, such as listening to music, participating in group activities, reading valuable books, or talking to family members, relatives, and friends. Then they will feel comfortable and sexual depression will gradually disappear. Patients also need to avoid bad living habits, such as preventing unhealthy eating habits, reducing social intercourse, avoiding alcoholism, and controlling diet. Fully recognizing the importance and necessity of quitting smoking is the primary task of male infertility patients. There are many reasons for infertility in male patients. When checking infertility, men must take active treatment. In addition, they should strengthen nursing at ordinary times, pay attention to diet, smoke and drink as little as possible, pay attention to personal hygiene, and develop good living habits. Finally, I hope all people with infertility can get a speedy recovery.
