Question

A potential cause of male infertility is a blockage of the vas deferens. The blockage could be due to the build up of scar tissue along the vas deferens. What medical treatment would most likely be used to treat this type of infertility? A. medication to stimulate sperm production B. hormone therapy to increase testosterone C. surgery to remove the obstruction D. implantation of semen into the testes

Answer 1

Answer:

The type of treatment indicated to treat infertility due to blockage of the vas deferens is surgery to remove the obstruction (option C).

Explanation:

Blockage of the vas deferens is a known cause of obstructive azoospermia, which prevents the passage of sperm and causes infertility. This type of obstruction can be corrected by surgery, part of the treatment of infertility from this cause.

The vas deferens are in charge of conducting the sperm from the testicles to the ejaculatory ducts, which prevents these gametes from being expelled to fulfill their function in reproduction.

The other options are not correct because:

    A. Medication to stimulate sperm production does not resolve the blockage.

    B. Hormone therapy to increase testosterone could be considered for infertility treatment, but the obstructive problem continues.

    D. Semen implantation in the testes does not exist as a medical treatment.
