Clinical observations have found that some causes of sperm quality decline are due to congenital or acquired diseases, and some are caused by adverse factors in life. Modern medical research has confirmed that there are eight factors that can affect sperm quality, and men should especially avoid them.
Chemical substances such as formaldehyde
Chemicals such as formaldehyde can reduce sperm count, reduce athletic ability, and produce abnormalities. It is best to take a test on newly decorated houses. Sperm cells are the most sensitive cells in the human body to changes in the external environment. Slight environmental pollution can affect sperm, and they are not easily detected by the human body. Domestic and foreign experiments have long proven that chemicals such as formaldehyde (mainly decoration pollution in cities), xylene, organophosphorus pesticides, herbicides, and gossypol can damage the protective barrier of the testis and damage sperm cells, resulting in reduced sperm count, low athletic ability, and malformations.
2 Temperature
Studies have confirmed that 44 ° C is the critical point that affects sperm survival. If a man takes a bath in hot water above 44 ° C for half an hour, sperm vitality will significantly decrease and temporarily lose fertility.
3X rays
X-rays can cause sperm abnormalities. The United States, Britain, Japan, and other countries have studied for decades that the epididymis is very sensitive to radiation exposure. The sperm stored in the testis can become deformed when exposed to X-rays.
4 Estrogen
Estrogen antagonizes androgens, and sperm growth depends on androgens. Excessive intake or application of exogenous estrogen leads to decreased sperm quality. This conclusion was confirmed as early as the 1960s. Therefore, some health products with high estrogen content should not be eaten more.
Vitamin A deficiency
In 1987, British scientists discovered through animal experiments that if a male lacks a certain amount of vitamin A in his body, sperm will remain in the testicles and cannot be released. Therefore, a moderate supplement of vitamin A (higher in animal liver) for men is beneficial for sperm.
6 Excessive drinking
Medical research institutions have conducted in vitro sperm viability studies, placing sperm in culture media with different alcohol concentrations, and found that when the alcohol concentration exceeds 8%, sperm viability significantly decreases and fertilization is blocked. Typically, semen has an alcohol concentration of less than 8%. Researchers estimate that after adults drink one jin, two liang and 50 degree Baijiu, their sperm will be seriously damaged.
7 Drugs
Drugs that indirectly affect sperm quality, such as marijuana, cocaine, and heroin, can damage the hypothalamus of the brain, which is the management center for androgen secretion. Therefore, drugs can indirectly lead to a decline in androgens, which in turn affects sperm quality.
8 Prostatitis
The prostate is very close to the testicles. If the prostate gland becomes inflamed, it will "catch fire at the gate of the city, causing damage to the pond fish." Inflammation can also affect the testicles, reducing sperm quality.
