Can excessive sexual activity lead to infertility? What are the methods to determine whether sexual activity is excessive
Traditionally, infertility is considered a matter for women. In fact, men can also have infertility, so not all couples who haven't had children for a long time are female reasons, it is likely due to male factors. There are also many reasons for male infertility. Among them, excessive sexual activity is also a major factor leading to male infertility.
Frequent sexual activity can lead to male infertility
According to survey data, 70% of men have excessive sexual activity, especially newlyweds. Some couples even maintain high frequency sexual activity during infertility diagnosis and treatment. It is generally believed that having too much sexual activity is more likely to make their wives pregnant. In fact, having too much sexual activity can lead to male infertility, which many people overlook due to their eagerness to have children.
Normally, during sexual intercourse, a normal male ejaculates 1-6 milliliters, containing a total of over 50 million sperm. 70% of the sperm have normal motility, but only 1-5% reach the uterine cavity. Finally, only one sperm combines with the egg to form a fertilized egg. This indicates that the elimination rate of sperm is extremely high.
If couples have frequent sexual intercourse, the supply of sperm is in short supply, and the quality is also poor, it will affect fertilization. In addition, as an antigenic substance, sperm frequently stimulates women, causing them to continuously produce anti sperm antibodies, which can cause sperm to agglutinate or lose vitality, directly affecting fertilization. Excessive visibility in life, past events go against wishes.
How to know if you have excessive sexual activity
The main manifestations of excessive sexual activity are: haggard face, emaciated body, mental fatigue, lethargy, lightness of head and feet, weakness of the whole body, short heartbeat and breath, excessive sweating, insomnia and dreaminess, and lack of appetite. When the above "signals" appear, it tells you that sexual activity has caused you to "overload" and must be adjusted immediately.
To prevent these signals from appearing, it is not only necessary to appropriately control the frequency of sexual activity, but also to achieve the "two nots":
1. After strong labor, it is not advisable to engage in sexual activity, otherwise excessive physical exertion will damage the "vitality" and cause significant harm.
2. No sexual activity after drinking. Traditional Chinese medicine once said, 'Drunken into the room, with the desire to exhaust its essence.'. The meaning is that having sex while intoxicated can affect one's health and be a cause of premature death and aging.
In short, sexual activity should be appropriately restrained, which is also an important "way to nourish oneself" in life. Indulging in frequent sexual activity can be harmful to work, study, physical health, and other aspects without any benefits, and should be taken seriously.
