Male infertility - alcohol passing through the intestines, leaving behind on the infertile body

We all know that alcohol poses great harm to the body, and for health reasons, we should try to drink as little as possible. For example, alcohol can harm the liver, the stomach, the reproductive system, impotence, premature ejaculation, and even the quality of sperm. What are the effects of drinking alcohol on sperm? Can it really be that the alcohol penetrates the intestines and remains in infertility?

The toxic substances in tobacco and alcohol mainly affect eugenics through three ways: firstly, the toxic substances directly kill sperm, affecting the quality and quantity of sperm; Second, toxic substances dissolve and penetrate into semen, and damage zygote and early embryos; Third, toxic substances directly affect the secretion of androgens, reduce sexual desire, and affect the quality of zygote. Meanwhile, different ways of drinking alcohol also have different effects on sperm. It can be divided into three categories: firstly, people who drink excessively; Secondly, people who drink alcohol for a long time; The third is people who drink very little alcohol.

1. Excessive drinking

Excessive drinking can reduce men's abilities and can also damage sperm. Alcohol is the most common killer of men's fertility. Excessive drinking can lower androgen levels. Excessive drinking can lower testosterone levels by poisoning the testes; It can also cause liver dysfunction, reduce the inactivation effect of estrogen, and thus lead to estrogen accumulation, which relatively weakens the effect of androgens, making it difficult for men to stimulate their male energy.

Fertility requires a man's sperm to meet and combine with a woman's egg. During this process, sperm need to release acrosin to dissolve the outer membrane of the egg. High levels of estrogen in men's bodies can cause sperm to release acrosin in advance before encountering the egg, but when needed, they cannot release this enzyme to destroy the outer membrane of the egg. Even if sperm damaged by alcohol impregnates an egg, it is possible to give birth to low energy offspring. Abroad, this type of child is called a "Sunday child" and is believed to be the result of couples getting pregnant after drinking heavily on weekends.

2. Long term drinking

Long term drinkers are prone to chronic alcoholism. Once chronic alcoholism occurs, patients may experience testicular atrophy, leading to a decrease in semen quality. Research has found that it takes at least three months of conditioning to recover to the state before getting drunk once. Experts believe that men with family planning must wait at least three months after getting drunk before their wives can conceive, in order to ensure the health of the fetus.

3. A very small amount of alcohol consumption

A very small amount of alcohol does not affect the quality of sperm, but excessive alcohol will certainly affect the survival of sperm, because alcohol is the main component of alcohol, which plays an anesthetic role, and can quickly enter human histiocyte through blood circulation, thus affecting the quality of sperm.

The impact of drinking alcohol on sperm is because alcohol is a teratogenic factor. Drinking too much alcohol during pregnancy can cause malformations, stillbirth, delayed growth after birth, abnormalities in the central nervous system, and behavioral defects. Alcohol can also cause a decrease in testicular testosterone and testicular atrophy, leading to spermatogenic disorders. Drinking alcohol can also induce chronic prostatitis, leading to non liquefaction of semen, decreased sperm count, decreased sperm survival and vitality, and increased deformity rate, which affects fertility.

As long as it contains alcohol, it can have an impact on sperm. Although beer has a low alcohol content, it still has an alcohol content. If you drink too much and accumulate too little, it can also have an impact on the quality of sperm, which can lead to sperm deformity and even death. Therefore, it is recommended not to drink more than one glass of beer in the first two months of planning to have a child. However, occasional small amounts still have little impact.

In addition, smoking, cola, irregular rest times, and excessive fatigue can also affect sperm quality. Usually, you can self check the condition of semen, observe the liquefaction time, color, and smell of semen. This can preliminarily determine the health status of semen.
