Introduction
The main causes of male infertility include congenital developmental abnormalities, phimosis, and orchitis. In addition to these factors, conditions such as urethritis and prostatitis may also contribute. Patients should seek timely medical evaluation, including physical and laboratory examinations, to determine the specific underlying cause, and choose an appropriate treatment approach based on their individual condition to promote recovery.
The main causes of male infertility include phimosis, orchitis, and congenital developmental abnormalities. Targeted treatments are recommended.
1. Phimosis
Phimosis may lead to premature ejaculation in men and increase the risk of genital tract inflammation, which can subsequently result in infertility. It is recommended to visit a hospital for circumcision as an effective treatment.
2. Orchitis
Orchitis occurs when the reproductive organs become inflamed due to bacterial or viral infections. Under inflammatory stimulation, male sperm production can be severely affected, and sperm viability may decrease, leading to infertility. Patients may take anti-inflammatory medications such as Cefixime Capsules or Cefaclor Dispersible Tablets under medical supervision.
3. Congenital Developmental Abnormalities
Congenital testicular dysgenesis may prevent sperm production, potentially causing atrophy of the vas deferens and obstructing sperm generation, thereby resulting in infertility. Given the severity of this condition, timely medical consultation is necessary, and self-medication should be avoided.
In addition to the above factors, male infertility may also be associated with conditions such as urethritis and prostatitis. Patients should seek prompt medical evaluation, including physical and laboratory examinations, to determine the exact cause and select an appropriate treatment plan based on individual circumstances to promote recovery.
