Sperm survival rate refers to the proportion of live sperm in a drop of semen. The consensus in the medical community is that sperm survival rate is normal if it is greater than or equal to 60%, and less than 60% indicates a decrease in sperm survival rate, which has a direct impact on fertility. Nowadays, many men's bad habits have led to a decline in sperm survival rates, such as prolonged sitting, staying up late, long-term stress, alcohol abuse, and so on. So how to improve sperm survival rate?
To improve the survival rate of sperm, it is necessary to start from daily life, and the specific methods are as follows:
1. Avoid physical obesity
If a male friend is too obese, it can lead to a decrease in male hormones in the body, which to some extent hinders sperm production and affects sperm survival rate. Obesity can also cause chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes and hyperlipidemia, which can induce sexual dysfunction such as impotence and premature ejaculation.
2. Stay away from bad living habits
In modern society, the pace of life is fast, with many young people working hard and socializing heavily, coupled with irregular lifestyles, heavy eating habits, and sedentary lifestyles, resulting in a significant reduction in sperm survival rates. Therefore, male friends should learn to relax after work, while avoiding tobacco and alcohol, and eating less spicy food. Wear less or no jeans, do not wash or take less saunas, and avoid working in high temperature and radiation environments. In this way, we can maintain sufficient energy and improve the sperm survival rate.
3. Eat more zinc rich foods
Zinc is an important element in the reproductive system, and zinc is directly involved in sperm production, maturation, activation, and capacitation. Zinc deficiency can affect the development of reproductive organs and secondary sexual characteristics in adolescent males, reduce sperm survival rate, and affect sperm density. Therefore, it is recommended that male friends eat more zinc rich foods such as oysters, beef, pork, Chinese cabbage, and beans.
4. Exercise can't be less sunny
Modern people lack physical exercise, and they often take elevators when driving outside and going upstairs. In the long run, sperm survival rates are also affected. It is recommended to increase exercise. Sunshine can stimulate the vitality of male sperm, as vitamin D may play a decisive role in the production of semen, while lack of it may lead to infertility.
In addition to daily life, inflammation, varicocele, antisperm antibodies, and testicular development disorders can all affect sperm survival rates. To check for diseases such as asthenospermia and dead sperm, you must go to a professional hospital for a detailed examination.
