Stillbirth in the womb, male fetus, withered tree in spring, extremely difficult.

The little life under her belly

He seems to be particularly excited at times.

Often excitedly gesturing and dancing.

The pregnant woman,

His face was often etched with pain.

At the same time, he was laughing even while in pain.

As radiant as a flower.

The song "Pregnant Woman" vividly portrays the greatness of maternal love. Even when she is tired and in pain, she feels comforted and that all the suffering is worthwhile when she thinks of the little baby growing in her womb.

In fact, many couples who enter into marriage long for a baby. But various problems often prevent them from having one.

Xiao Cao is 30 years old and has been married for over two years. The couple has been trying to have a child, but after planning for more than half a year, nothing has happened, which is very worrying. They went to the hospital for a checkup, and the results showed that the problem was Xiao Cao's poor sperm quality. Normally, men in Xiao Cao's age have the strongest sperm vitality, so why is there a problem?

After a thorough questioning, the doctor arranged for Xiao Cao to undergo examination for reproductive tract infections. It turned out he had chronic epididymitis, which was the real reason for his poor sperm quality. Sperm death is closely related to the amount of seminal plasma. Defects in spermatogenesis, poor development, and abnormal internal sperm structure; varicocele; testicular ischemia and hypoxia; inflammation of the reproductive tract, infection of the vas deferens or accessory glands, all of which consume large amounts of essential nutrients or trace elements like zinc necessary for sperm survival, decrease the pH of seminal fluid, and, combined with congestion, edema, blood stasis, and insufficient oxygen supply during inflammation, malnutrition, vitamin A and E deficiency, reduced fructose, and altered zinc levels, all contribute to an unfavorable environment for sperm survival and are major causes of excessive sperm death.

It turns out that Xiao Cao had suffered from acute epididymitis a year ago after undergoing surgery to insert a urinary catheter following a car accident. After treatment, most of his symptoms disappeared, but he occasionally felt a slight swelling in his scrotum. He didn't pay much attention to it because he was too busy with work and didn't go for a follow-up examination as required by the doctor. Little did he know that he had developed chronic epididymitis.

Xiao Cao asked in confusion, "I don't feel any discomfort." The doctor explained that chronic epididymitis is usually asymptomatic unless there is an acute flare-up, in which case local discomfort may occur. The patient can feel a lump in the scrotum, a feeling of heaviness in the scrotum, and pain that can radiate to the lower abdomen and the inner thigh on the same side. The epididymis on the affected side may be slightly enlarged and hardened, with nodules, and the vas deferens on the same side may be thickened. If it is bilateral chronic epididymitis, oligospermia can occur, leading to infertility. Although the first treatment controlled the condition, it was not completely cured. Because he did not have a follow-up examination, the treatment was interrupted, and the condition gradually developed into a chronic condition, which caused infertility.

The organs and tissues within the male reproductive system are closely interconnected and anatomically located, meaning that inflammation in one organ can quickly spread throughout the body. For example, the urethra, being connected to the outside world, is easily infected by bacteria, which can then ascend and affect organs such as the prostate, leading to a widespread and complex inflammation. Timely treatment of inflammation within the reproductive system can prevent this spread, providing a stable physiological environment for sperm production and maturation. However, prolonged inflammation can affect the testes, vas deferens, epididymis, and other parts of the reproductive system, disrupting the internal environment. A chronic inflammatory state in the reproductive system can impair sperm production, motility, and transport, severely impacting sperm viability and causing oligospermia, azoospermia, and semen liquefaction problems. Furthermore, prostatitis can also cause male sexual dysfunction.

Epididymitis is a common disease among young and middle-aged men. It is caused by pathogenic bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus or Streptococcus entering the epididymis retrogradely through the vas deferens. Therefore, this disease is often secondary to posterior urethritis, prostatitis and seminal vesiculitis, or occurs after urethral instrumentation or long-term indwelling catheterization, with retrograde infection being the most common.
