Infertility due to testicular atrophy because of mumps

In cases of infertility in men, there are some people who have testicular atrophy due to mumps during a young age.

The consequence is that it is difficult for patients to have children when they are married in adulthood. The best prevention is mumps vaccination with some other diseases such as measles, rubella in combination vaccines.

Mumps is an acute infection caused by patients infected with paramyxovirus mumps virus from patients. The disease is most common at the youngest age, from 5 to 9 years old ; In teenagers and adults, the incidence of this disease can account for about 15%.

Mumps causes inflammation of the parotid gland.

The disease is spread by saliva of patients who carry pathogens that spread through the respiratory tract to enter healthy people. The incubation period can range from 12 to 25 days. Before 6 months of parotitis and up to 9 days after parotitis, the mumps virus is invaded into the exocrine and meningeal glands. The clinical picture noted with symptoms is usually swelling of the salivary glands, especially the parotid salivary glands. At the beginning, the parotid gland is swollen and painful on one side, then it can spread to the other. In some cases, symptoms of orchitis may be present in about 20% or clear meningitis.

Other rare symptoms of clinical symptoms include: pancreatitis, ovarian inflammation, hepatitis, myocarditis, thyroiditis . Severe complications from mumps are rarely occurs but when it occurs, serious consequences such as deafness or testicular atrophy cause infertility in men when married.

To prevent mumps, it is recommended by scientists to be vaccinated . In fact, mumps vaccines are often produced in combination with measles and rubella vaccines. There are two types of combination vaccines that are commonly used to treat measles, mumps and rubella, MMR II vaccines, Trimovax vaccines ; They all have protective effects over 10 years and 11 years. The use of these vaccines must be designated by a specialist, advice and guidance.

When surveying male infertility subjects, a number of cases of a history of mumps infection in young children led to complications of testicular inflammation caused by parents or providers. Therefore, care should be taken about mumps vaccination for children to actively prevent future infertility consequences of complications of the disease.
