Male infertility caused by bacterial genital infections

Genital infections are common in men. Male infertility doctors encounter them every day. They are most often caused by the spread of a urinary infection, but the hematogenous and lymphogenous routes of genital infections are also possible, as well as the spread of the infection from surrounding tissues and organs. Gram-positive bacteria that most often cause infections of the genital organs are: Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus saprophyticus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Enterococcus faecalis, Streptococcus agalactiae, while the most common gram-negative bacteria are: Escherichia coli, Proteus spp., Klebsiella spp. , Enterobacter spp., and enterobacterionas and other enterodoma. The frequency and specificity of some infections differ from bacteria, such as: Chlamydia trachomatis, Mycoplasma hominis, Ureaplasma.urealyticum, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Treponema pallidum and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Understanding the link between infections of the accessory glands (associated with the male gonads) and reduced or absent male fertility has been scientifically proven and various antibiotic protocols have been proposed for treatment. In most cases, urogenital bacterial infections are successfully treated, but the increase in the number of leukocytes and impaired function of the accessory glands lasts for several months, which continues to affect a man\u27s fertile capacity
