Quite often the reason for the absence of children in a married couple is the pathology of the sperm head in a man. As a rule, this is revealed in the course of numerous analyzes and studies in which both sex partners participate. Among pathologies of the head, teratozoospermia is the most popular. It implies the presence of a large number of carriers of genetic information having any abnormal structure, which prevents them from fulfilling their direct "mission."
Pathologies of the sperm head
There are several types of anomalous structure of the head part of the spermatozoon :
- macrocephaly implies abnormally and disproportionately large head;
- microcephaly - the head of the spermatozoon is extremely small;
- round head.
Also in medical practice, sometimes there are other variants of the abnormal structure, size or shape of the sperm head, for example, the pathology of the acrosome, one of its components.
How is the treatment of teratozoospermia head pathology treated?
As a rule, this disease does not have a clear medical course of treatment. It is assumed that drugs containing a specific amino acid, which can improve the process of sperm production. It is recommended to perform an operation to eliminate varicose veins of the testicles and spermatic cord. Usually, after such an operation, the spermatogram of the sperm head pathology significantly improves and the chances of conception increase. However, in most cases it is better to resort to ICSI and IVF.
Causes that affect the appearance of sperm pathologies
There is a certain group of factors that can trigger the occurrence of anomalies in the structure of spermatozoa, namely:
- genetic diseases;
- chromosomal abnormalities;
- hormonal imbalance;
- viruses, inflammations and infections;
- influence of radiation or the environment;
- diseases that can affect the occurrence of incorrect and inferior formation of spermatozoa.
Anomalies in the development of male genital organs
Its negative "contribution" to an inferior sexual life and the inability to have children is brought by the most diverse congenital abnormal structure of the genital organs in men. A separate place in the classification of such diseases is occupied by various pathologies of the penis, which include:
- aphallia, or complete absence of the male sexual organ;
- to the pathology of the penis is its hidden location in the fat folds of the pubis. Eliminated exclusively in an operative way;
- absence of the head of the member, observed from the very birth. Treatment is only if the urethra is too narrow;
- such a developmental defect as ectopy means that a member of a man is located behind a scrotum and can be "returned" to the place exclusively by surgical means;
- micro penis - too small genital organ, which can be increased only by hormonal preparations or by plastic;
- to the anomalies of the development of the penis is also the difference, that is, its duplication;
- narrow foreskin, which prevents the opening of the head and urination;
- congenital curvature of the penis. As a rule, it is subject to surgical removal only in the event that it interferes with the full sexual intercourse.
What are the pathologies of the male member and the head?
There are a lot of them, but the most common are:
- abundant growth of warts;
- wrong location of the urethra;
- an inflammation of the head;
- too narrow foreskin;
- the impossibility of exposing the head and so on.
As a rule, they all require surgical intervention and are a congenital anomaly.
