What Is Topical Testosterone?
Testicular abnormality is a non-negligible factor that causes male infertility. Male infertility caused by testicular abnormalities is called testicular abnormal infertility.
Testicular abnormalities
- (A) genital damage:
- External injury causes testicular damage or torsion, spermatic cord torsion, etc., or surgical trauma, etc., will affect testicular function and cause sperm production disorders.
- (2) Caused by mumps
- (1) testicular dysplasia;
- (B) polytesticular malformations:
- Polytestis refers to the presence of more than two testicles in the human body. Clinically rare, most polytestis is found in infants and adolescents. Polytestis may be caused by abnormal differentiation of embryos. Clinically, it is common in the three testes. Most of the extra testicles are located in the scrotum, and a few are located in the scrotum.
- (A) testicular self-examination:
- Take a stand and examine the testes with the scrotum relaxed. Normal testicles are oval in shape, with a smooth surface and medium hardness. Patients with orchitis can detect a lump or abnormal condition. The scrotum of most patients is blue-purple. There is tenderness when touching.
- (2) Blood test:
- Distinguish mainly by measuring the value of human chorionic gonadotropin
- (1) Congenital testicular hypoplasia syndrome:
- Treatment is mainly based on insufficient androgen supplementation, which is helpful for virilization, but cannot affect female breasts. For appearance or psychological reasons, mammoplasty is sometimes used.
- (B) male pseudohermaphroditism:
- Treatment should focus on two aspects of gender selection and gonad processing. After proper treatment, it is generally difficult to maintain fertility.
- (Three) testicular loss:
- If the diagnosis is clear, the main treatment is to supplement the androgen reasonably and timely, so that the patient's external genitalia can develop better. However, if androgen is used prematurely, it can close the epiphysis and affect the development of the body. Testosterone levels should be measured regularly during medication to adjust the dose of the drug. "Artificial testicle" implantation can to a certain extent soothe the patient's psychological inferiority and reduce mental trauma.
- (D) cryptorchidism:
- The purpose of its treatment is to restore the number and function of germ cells in the testicles as soon as possible and improve fertility.
