SEMINAL TRACT INFECTION
Seminal tracts are ducts through which sperm move from the testicles to the outside part of the body. If an infectious process exists at any point along this route, sperm are forced to cross the infected area which can damage them and affect their ability to fertilize the egg.
Seminal tract infections affect fertility in several ways:
- Blockage of seminal tracts may prevent sperm from being released during orgasm (azoospermia) or cause oligospermia, or low sperm count in semen.
- When attached to sperm, they may decrease their motility (asthenozoospermia) and prevent them from moving to the egg
- They may cause changes to sperm morphology (teratospermia)
- They may increase sperm DNA fragmentation index, which compromises embryo implantation and pregnancy development
- They favor the production of antisperm antibodies and therefore reduce chances of fertilization
- They may infect female reproductive organs by spreading through the semen
MAIN SYMPTOMS OF SEMINAL TRACT INFECTIONS
Since seminal tract infections seldom show symptoms, it is common that they remain for a long time without being identified, and generate consequences that may lead to infertility. In some cases, seminal tract infections may cause:
- Abnormal semen
- Irritation
- Itching
- Painful urination
- Urethral discharge
- Infertility
If you have any of these symptoms, you should stop having sexual relations and visit our clinic immediately for treatment.
CAUSES OF SEMINAL TRACT INFECTIONS
Seminal tract infections may be caused by the presence of harmful microorganisms in the prostate, seminal vesicles, the vas deferens, the epididymis and the testicles. These microorganisms tend to be transmitted during unprotected sexual intercourse. Any sexually active male may develop a seminal tract infection; however, the risk is proportional to the number of sexual partners he has or has had.
