There are many diseases that cause male infertility. The epididymitis is one of them, and the cause of infertility is as follows:
Reduce the vitality of sperm
After the epididymis is infected, the pathogen can directly cause damage to the sperm in the epididymis, inhibit the mobility of sperm or condense sperm to reduce its ability to move;The toxins will also poison the fragile sperm, which greatly increases its mortality and leads to male infertility.
Covering sperm walking channel
Etatelia caused by gonococci, tuberculosis, mycoplasma, chlamydia and other pathogen infections will not only cause inflammatory reactions to damage the sperm, but also easily cause reduction or blockage of epididymal lumen.Obstruction eventually caused infertility.
Trapped sperm
Epididymitis is an important cause of anti -sperm antibodies in men's body.When an epididymal is inflamed, the body's self -defense system will act immediately. Immune cells and body fluid immune substances such as white blood cells, lymphocytes and other immune cells enter the inflammatory epididymia, and have a clear response to the pathogen, forming immune response, generating immune cells. At the same timeThe identification ability of its own tissue has decreased significantly, and an immune response is directly related to the sperm surface or the antigen substances in the sperm or sperm, forming anti -sperm antibodies, leading to male infertility.
