A research report in the British Medical Journal pointed out that the number of sperm in men decreased by 1/4 in 1970 compared to 1959; In the past 40 years, male sperm has decreased at an average annual rate of 2.1%; Danish scholars surveyed 15000 male semen samples in 21 countries and found that the sperm count was only half that of 50 years ago. It is urgent to protect sperm. For the sake of the next generation, we need to know some measures to protect sperm.
Protective measures:
Reducing the harm of smoking and alcohol is a major enemy of sperm. Some men's bodies are very sensitive to the toxins in cigarettes, and nicotine in cigarettes can kill sperm. Must completely quit; Alcoholism will not only reduce the function of gonad, but also cause chromosomal abnormalities in sperm. Wine can be divided into Baijiu, beer and fruit wine. From a health point of view, red wine, one of the fruit wines, should be preferred and can be drunk moderately.
Controlling the frequency of sexual activity can lead to chronic prostate congestion, leading to aseptic prostatitis, directly affecting the nutritional composition, quantity, viscosity, acidity, and alkalinity of semen, and inducing infertility. In addition, frequent sexual activity and frequent contact with her husband's sperm and mucus can easily trigger the production of anti sperm antibodies in the female body, leading to immune infertility in the female partner.
Keep the scrotum warm and avoid wearing tight pants and synthetic underwear. Tight pants tightly bind the scrotum and testis, reducing local heat dissipation, causing high temperature in the testis, hindering sperm production, and limiting the return of venous blood at the scrotum, resulting in testicular congestion, which will also affect sperm production; Blended and polyester synthetic underwear can generate an electrostatic field in the penis tissue, inhibit sperm production, reduce sperm count, and cause oligospermia. Do not take saunas or hot water baths. The temperature of saunas and hot water baths is higher than the temperature suitable for sperm development. Under high temperature conditions, the scrotum can be affected, leading to sperm development disorders and also causing sperm death.
Reasonably adjust your diet and eat more foods containing arginine, such as soybeans and their products, eels, cuttlefish, octopus, yams, ginkgo biloba, watermelon, pumpkin, etc. Eat less or no celery: In recent years, research has shown that people who frequently eat celery have a significant decrease in sperm count.
Some drugs can reduce the number of sperm and cause abnormal activity to prevent drug damage. Anti tumor drugs such as propranolol, enflurane, nitrofuran, nitrogen mustard phenylbutyrate, cyclophosphamide, vinblastine, monoamine oxidase inhibitors, testosterone, progesterone, estrogen, reserpine, diazepam, chlorpromazine, etc. should be avoided as far as possible, and should be used under the guidance of a doctor when necessary.
A small survey has found that there are significant differences in the number and quality of sperm between individuals engaged in chemical or radioactive work and those who do not. For those who frequently come into contact with chemical substances, it is necessary to strictly follow the operating regulations and protective regulations when operating, do not be careless, and undergo sperm testing on time.
When the cerebral cortex of people who pay attention to the combination of work and rest is in a normal working state, the nervous and endocrine functions of the whole body are stable, and the spermatogenic and physiological functions of the testes are normal. On the contrary, if the body is in a state of fatigue, the work of the cerebral cortex will be disordered, and the systemic nervous and endocrine functions will be abnormal, leading to reproductive dysfunction, reducing semen volume, sperm number and motility, leading to infertility.
The way to strengthen physical exercise should be mainly through endurance training, without requiring the amount or intensity of exercise. The key is to persevere for a long time and achieve the goal of gradually losing weight and strengthening the body. There are various sports available, such as walking, swimming, table tennis, badminton, basketball, weight loss exercises, equipment training, etc. Exercise for at least 30 minutes per day.
Adhere to strict requirements for personal behavior and conduct, avoid engaging in extramarital affairs, prostitution, sexual activity, and stay away from the spread of sexually transmitted diseases.
Pay attention to the living environment. Do not store computers, color TVs, refrigerators or other electrical appliances in the bedroom, and do not use electric blankets for heating; Try to avoid electromagnetic wave contact in the workplace and prevent nuclear radiation and X-ray exposure.
