Sometimes sperm can be blocked in the male genital system and cannot reach the penis, which consequently can become a cause of infertility in men. Common causes for obstructions include repeated infections, surgery, vasectomy, adhesions, tissue constrictions, swelling, or developmental issues.

Any part of the male reproductive tract can be blocked, may it be the epididymis and vas deferens tubes, or ejaculatory ducts, and so on.

When there’s a blockage, sperm from the testicles can’t reach the urethra, and subsequently it cannot leave the body during ejaculation of semen.

Treatments may consist of surgery or other procedures to remove a blockage. If medical treatments don’t help to clear an obstruction and a man wants to have a baby, they can turn to sperm retrieval procedures and use Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) to fertilize a female egg.

In addition, and depending on the cause, massage and bodywork — typically genital, abdominal, and fertility massages — may also aid in clearing obstructions in veins, arteries, and/or cell tissues.
