For chefs, the workload is a major challenge during the Spring Festival, whether it's ordering New Year dishes, or ordering a table, or stir-frying dishes until they are soft to handle. Currently, urologists have raised a warning that if chefs spend long hours in high-temperature environments every day, it may lead to insufficient sperm count and decreased activity, leading to infertility!
A 37-year-old chef surnamed Xu has been working as a cook for 10 years, working at least 10 hours a day. After six years of marriage, she did not have contraception, but her wife never became pregnant, so she sought medical advice. Dr. Zhou Gu, Director of the Urology Department of Shutian Urology Eye Clinic, said that after semen analysis, the number of spermatozoa in the patient was 18 million, with 72% of normal morphology and 18% of normal activity. It may be due to prolonged exposure to high temperatures, resulting in infertility.
Increased scrotal temperature is detrimental to pregnancy
Under normal circumstances, the scrotal temperature should be maintained at 2-4 degrees below body temperature. However, many current work patterns and poor living habits are not conducive to the survival of spermatozoa, and can affect vitality. These include long-distance driving drivers, cooks in high-temperature environments, working with a laptop on their thighs, often wearing tight jeans, washing for a while, and soaking in hot springs, which can increase the scrotal temperature.
Previous studies have shown that if the testicular temperature rises to 1 degree, it will have a negative impact on sperm production. If you frequently repeatedly expose yourself to this high-temperature environment of the scrotum, it is obviously quite detrimental to sperm production.

Step 2: Balance nutrition
"Unbalanced nutrition can affect the number and quality of sperm worms. If the semen test value is not ideal, zinc can be supplemented by 15mg per day. Plant foods rich in zinc include peanuts, walnuts, oats, etc., while animal foods rich in zinc include liver, eggs, fish, meat, oysters, etc.".
Third move: Don't take medicine indiscriminately
Some drugs may affect the reproductive ability of men, including chemotherapy drugs, marijuana, sedatives, antihypertensive drugs, antidepressants, and gout treatments, which can have adverse effects on reproductive function. Therefore, it is better to consult a doctor before taking them.
Step 4: Moderate Exercise
Men who exercise regularly and moderately have more active sperm in their bodies. Moderate exercise contributes to the health of the reproductive system, making sperm more energetic.
Step 5: Maintain Good Habits
It is best to reduce opportunities such as excessive drinking, smoking, staying up late, wearing tight pants (jeans, intimate underwear), soaking in hot baths, and three warmers.
