Resumen
La infertilidad masculina afecta a muchas parejas, pero la enfermería a menudo pasa por alto a los hombres
Área de la Ciencia:
- Enfermería; Salud Reproductiva; Sociología de la Salud
Sus antecedentes:
- La infertilidad masculina representa casi la mitad de los casos mundiales de infertilidad.
- La investigación en enfermería ha marginado históricamente las experiencias de los hombres con la infertilidad.
- La reproducción a menudo se equipara de manera estrecha con la feminidad, excluyendo las perspectivas masculinas.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Replantear la infertilidad masculina como un problema relacional y socialmente incrustado.
- Explorar cómo factores interconectados como la raza, la clase y la sexualidad crean estigma compuesto y barreras para la atención de los hombres.
- Proponer un enfoque de enfermería interseccional para abordar estas inequidades.
Principales métodos:
- Basándose en la interseccionalidad, la teoría de la masculinidad, la performatividad y el estigma.
- Analizando cómo los determinantes sociales impactan las experiencias de los hombres con la infertilidad.
- Utilizando andamiaje visual (tablas, figuras) para ilustrar vías teóricas.
Principales resultados:
- Las experiencias de infertilidad masculina están moldeadas por identidades interconectadas (raza, clase, sexualidad, discapacidad).
- Los hombres queer y trans enfrentan invisibilidad en el discurso reproductivo.
- Los hombres en entornos de bajos recursos encuentran barreras sistémicas para el apoyo psicosocial.
- Los enfoques existentes crean estigma compuesto y acceso restringido a la atención.
Conclusiones:
- La enfermería debe adoptar un marco interseccional para abordar la infertilidad masculina.
- Una propuesta de enfermería interseccional implica reflexividad, humildad cultural, enfoque centrado en la pareja y conciencia estructural.
- Reconceptualizar la atención, la vulnerabilidad y la justicia reproductiva es crucial para diversas masculinidades y para reducir las inequidades.

Infertility in Males
522
Male infertility affects millions of couples worldwide, arising from various factors that impact different stages of the reproductive process. An endocrine imbalance resulting from conditions like hypogonadism, Klinefelter syndrome, or pituitary disorders can disrupt hormone levels and reduce sperm production. Testicular defects, such as tumors, cryptorchidism, atrophic testes, abnormal sperm morphology, and low sperm count or motility, may arise due to genetic factors, structural...

Infertility in Females
3.6K
Female infertility is defined as the inability to conceive after a year of regular, unprotected intercourse and affects about 10–15% of couples worldwide. The primary cause of female infertility is ovulatory disorders, which hinder the release of eggs. These disorders can be classified as hypothalamic amenorrhea, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), premature ovarian failure, and hyperprolactinemic anovulation disorders.

Disorders of the Male Reproductive System
3.9K
Men's health issues are increasingly recognized as significant, with several conditions posing common threats. Among these, testicular cancer is especially prevalent in younger men, particularly those aged 20 to 35 years. The disease often manifests as a painless mass in the testicles, sometimes accompanied by a sensation of heaviness or a dull ache.

Spermatogenesis
121.5K
Spermatogenesis is the process by which haploid sperm cells are produced in the male testes. It starts with stem cells located close to the outer rim of seminiferous tubules. These spermatogonial stem cells divide asymmetrically to give rise to additional stem cells (meaning that these structures “self-renew”), as well as sperm progenitors, called spermatocytes. Importantly, this method of asymmetric mitotic division maintains a population of spermatogonial stem cells in the male...

The Ratio of X Chromosome to Autosomes
9.4K
In most organisms, sex is determined by the ratio of X and Y chromosomes. However, in some organisms, such as Drosophila and C.elegans, sex is determined by the ratio of the number of X chromosomes to the number of sets of autosomes. The Y chromosome in Drosophila is active but does not determine sex. It contains genes responsible for the production of sperms in adult flies.
Normal male Drosophila has a ratio of one X chromosome to two sets of autosomes. In contrast, normal female...

Sex-linked Disorders
108.2K
Like autosomes, sex chromosomes contain a variety of genes necessary for normal body function. When a mutation in one of these genes results in biological deficits, the disorder is considered sex-linked.
