There are many factors that can cause male infertility, and azoospermia is one of the most common factors. The emergence of azoospermia has a significant impact on men, even affecting family harmony. Therefore, everyone should be alert to this disease, to achieve early detection and treatment, and to learn more about the causes of the disease in order to better treat it. So, what are the symptoms of azoospermia?
What are the symptoms of azoospermia
1、 Asperma: Because sperm secretion occurs only after sexual maturity and sexual activity. Therefore, many male friends only know they have azoospermia after marriage, and another manifestation of azoospermia symptoms is leading to male infertility. Therefore, for those who are unable to bear children after marriage, it is advisable to consider whether they have azoospermia.
2、 Changes in composition: If congenital absence of seminal vesicles, epididymis lesions, and obstruction of the vas deferens duct occur, the semen pH decreases; If it is acute epididymitis, prostatitis, and seminal vesiculitis, the pH is>8.0. In the study, it was found that the detection of elastase content in seminal plasma of semen with pH>8.0 indicates infection; At the same time, patients with azoospermia with semen pH>7.0 had no abnormalities such as seminal vesicles, epididymal cysts, or varicose veins on Doppler examination. Therefore, the volume and pH value of semen in patients with azoospermia can reflect the development and function of male gonads and accessory gonads, which is of great significance in analyzing the etiology of azoospermia and should be highly valued.
3、 Symptoms are not obvious: Generally speaking, the symptoms of azoospermia have no obvious clinical manifestations, and most patients are diagnosed with azoospermia when they seek medical advice after years of childlessness. Therefore, this disease cannot be predicted before examination. However, new research has provided patients with a new method that can reflect the presence of azoospermia, which is very helpful for early detection of azoospermia. In laboratory studies of azoospermia, it has been found that the volume of semen can be used to determine the pathological changes of many male accessory gonads and spermatogenic functions.
4、 Abnormal semen: The most important symptom of azoospermia is that the volume of semen reflects the secretion of male hormones by the testicles and the functional status of the accessory gonads. Congenital abnormalities or dysfunction of the seminal vesicle and prostate can lead to a decrease in semen volume, which to some extent can also explain hyperprolactinemia and hypergonadotropin secreting hypogonadism.
