welcome to my channel health for you 16 Causes of abnormal semen Infertility
• Testicular infection • Testicular cancer
• Testicular surgery • Overheating the testicles - frequent
saunas, hot tubs, very hot baths, or working in extremely hot environments can raise the
temperature of the testicles. Tight clothing may have the same effect on some people.
• Ejaculation disorders - for some men it may be difficult to ejaculate properly.
Men with retrograde ejaculation ejaculate semen into the bladder. If the ejaculatory
ducts are blocked or obstructed the man may have a problem ejaculating appropriately.
• Varicocele - this is a varicose vein in the scrotum that may cause the sperm to overheat.
• Undescended testicle - one (or both) testicle fails to descend from the abdomen
into the scrotum during fetal development. Sperm production is affected because the testicle
is not in the scrotum and is at a higher temperature. Healthy sperm need to exist in a slightly
lower-than-body temperature. That is why they are in the scrotum, and not inside
the body. • Hypogonadism - testosterone deficiency
can result in a disorder of the testicles. • Genetic abnormality - a man should have
an X and Y chromosome. If he has two X chromosomes and one Y chromosome (Klinefelter's syndrome)
there will be an abnormal development of the testicles, low testosterone, and a low sperm
count (sometimes no sperm at all). • Mumps - this viral infection usually
affects young children. However, if it occurs after pubertyinflammation of the testicles
may affect sperm production. • Hypospadias - the urethral opening is
at the underside of the penis, instead of its tip. This abnormality is usually surgically
corrected when the male is a baby. If it is not the sperm may find it harder to get to
the female's cervix. Hypospadias occur in about 1 in every 500 newborn boys.
• Cystic fibrosis - Cystic fibrosis is a chronic disease that affects organs such
as the liver, lungs, pancreas, and intestines. It disrupts the body's salt balance, leaving
too little salt and water on the outside of cells and causing the thin layer of mucus
that usually keeps the lungs free of germs to become thick and sticky. This mucus is
difficult to cough out, and it clogs the lungs and airways, leading to infections and damaged
lungs. Males with cystic fibrosis commonly have a missing or obstructed vas deferens
(tube connecting the testes to the urethra; it carries sperm from the epididymis to the
ejaculatory duct and the urethra). • Radiotherapy - radiation therapy can
impair sperm production. The severity usually depends on how near to the testicles the radiation
was aimed. • Some diseases - the following diseases
and conditions are sometimes linked to lower fertility in males: Anemia, Cushing's syndrome,
Diabetes, Thyroid disease. • MedicationsSulfasalazine - this anti-inflammatory
drug can significantly lower a man's sperm count. The drug is often prescribed for patients
with Crohn's disease or rheumatoid arthritis. Usually this side effect goes away after the
patient stops taking the medication.Anabolic steroids - often taken by bodybuilders and
athletes; anabolic steroids, especially after long term use can seriously reduce sperm count
and mobility.Chemotherapy - some medicines may significantly reduce sperm count.
• Illegal drugs - consumption of marijuana and cocaine can lower a man's sperm count.
