The cause of infertility is related to life style. There are many misunderstandings about male infertility

Although there are many causes of male infertility, recent research data show that some lifestyle fashions are hard to blame. Here are the main points of male infertility misunderstanding.

Improper make-up

Men's pursuit of beauty is not thick, but they should pay attention to the choice of cosmetics. Some men like to interview locally and share cosmetics with their wives for a long time. In fact, cosmetics used by women contain a certain amount of estrogen. When estrogen enters the body, it can slowly change the endocrine function and weaken the function of men. Of course, it will affect fertility.

Candlelight Dinner

This may be influenced by Westerners. In this way, there are emotions and atmosphere, but it may cause harm to the body. It turns out that candles, especially scented candles, will release harmful particles such as lead and mercury, which can directly affect the testicles and hinder the synthesis of testosterone and sperm production of the testicles; Mercury can damage sexual function, reduce sexual desire, or cause penis erection to be weak, and then induce infertility.

disposable diaper

The popularity of disposable diapers in recent years may have a negative impact on the testicular development of male children at the critical stage of development, and there is a risk of sowing sterile seeds from childhood. German scholars pointed out that this is because the plastic-lined diaper makes the heat gather around the testicles. When using disposable diapers, the surface temperature of the scrotum is significantly higher, which is 1 degree higher than the body temperature under the highest conditions. The younger the baby is, the higher the temperature of the scrotum is.

Always wear tights

Many young men pursue the fashion of tights, and jeans will not leave the body for many years. Surprisingly, jeans tightly bind the scrotum and testicles, reduce local heat dissipation, increase testicular temperature, and hinder sperm production. At the same time, tights restrict the blood circulation of the scrotum, especially hinder the return of venous blood, make the testicle congest, and bring resistance to sperm production.

Frequent use of mobile phones

Mobile phone signals transmit signals through high-frequency electromagnetic waves, and there is a certain amount of microwave radiation around the transmitting antenna. The microwave generated by mobile phones may be harmful to health if it exceeds the national standard, but the human body does not feel it. In addition to damaging human nerves, blood, immune system, eyes, etc., the reproductive system is often unable to escape. For example, the number of sperm decreased sharply, and sperm vitality decreased. Therefore, men of childbearing age must pay attention to self-protection when using mobile phones. When there are ordinary phones around, in order to reduce the number and time of microwave radiation to human body, mobile phones must be used.

Foam oxygen bar

In recent years, oxygen inhalation, as a new means of health care, has become popular in some cities in China. Many people take foam oxygen bars as a fashion. In response, experts warned that healthy people inhale more oxygen than their physiological needs in the oxygen bar, combine with other substances in the body to generate free radicals, damage the normal biological membrane, hinder the activity of enzymes, and affect the metabolism of testicles and cells. Taking a sauna can eliminate fatigue, remove diseases and keep fit. Many people like this road. However, experts have noticed that sauna has become a part of the culprit of youth infertility. The reason is very simple. Sperm is born in the testicle, and the requirements for temperature are relatively strict. It can only develop normally under the constant temperature condition of 34 ℃ - 35 ℃. The temperature in the sauna room is much higher than this standard, which is extremely unfavorable for sperm growth or sperm death.

Therefore, young men who have not yet given birth should only go to the sauna occasionally. I'm afraid they will lose their weight if they visit regularly.

What are the life misunderstandings of male infertility?

Mumps can also become a sperm killer

The reader sent an email saying that his 8-year-old son had mumps last year. He saw on the Internet that mumps might lead to adult infertility of the child, so he was very worried. He wanted to ask an expert to tell me if there was any real thing. In response, Director Ding said that when parotitis is combined with orchitis, orchitis will cause testicular atrophy and affect mental ability. Testis is one of the most affected parts of parotitis virus. The virus will only cause testicular swelling, pain and other problems, but the epidemic parotitis virus will cause testicular tissue atrophy, especially if the testicles on both sides of the seminiferous tubules are affected, they will become sterile in adulthood. In addition, the reader asked whether children's hernia surgery would affect future fertility. Director Ding said that the medical definition of hernia is the transfer of normal tissues and organs from the original part to other parts through potential gaps. Hernia itself does not affect fertility. Parents need not worry too much, but treatment must be timely.

Sitting for a long time can also affect fertility

The sedentary soft sofa can also affect fertility, so readers want to listen to experts' opinions. In this regard, Director Ding explained that sitting for a long time would oppress the perineum, while too soft sofa would make the whole hip sink in and increase the pressure. The scrotum cannot regulate the temperature normally under this pressure, so that the temperature of the testicle rises and the reproductive function is affected. At the same time, long-term compression also impedes the circulation of the perineum, and local organs are congested, which is easy to cause inflammation. If prostatitis is not treated in time, it will affect sperm vitality and lead to infertility. There are also readers who ask whether there is an age limit for the man to have children. Director Ding said that fertility is not necessarily related to age. The quantity and quality of male sperm determines fertility. As long as you have healthy sperm, you can have children at any age.

Normal consumption of bean products will not affect the health of men

One reader said that he had the habit of drinking soybean milk for breakfast, but he could not drink it when he saw such news on the Internet. Some components in soybean can simulate the function of estrogen estradiol, and the number of sperm decreases. In this regard, Director Ding said that current research shows that beans and their products are rich in isoflavone phytoestrogens, and long-term intake of a large amount of isoflavone phytoestrogens can cause erectile dysfunction. However, this study needs further confirmation. There is no clinical evidence that soybeans are harmful to men's health. The consumption of soybeans in daily life will not cause testicular atrophy or breast growth in men. On the contrary, appropriate soy products can effectively reduce the incidence of prostate cancer.

Five factors affecting sperm quality long-term smoking is easy to cause sperm deformity

Medication: has direct adverse effect on sperm

A healthy body is the prerequisite for producing healthy sperm. If the body suffers from diseases, it is likely to have adverse effects on the process of sperm production. For example, sexually transmitted diseases will not only cause inflammatory damage and structural changes in the reproductive system, but also affect the formation of germ cells, induce gene mutations, sperm abnormalities and other conditions. In addition, while treating diseases, drugs will also have some adverse effects on pregnancy. Some drugs will have direct adverse effects on sperm. Therefore, men in pregnancy should avoid abuse of drugs.

Long-term smoking: large number of abnormal sperm

Smoking, staying up late, drinking... these bad habits will inevitably affect the quality of sperm. Take smoking for example. For men who smoke for a long time, the number of abnormal sperm is more, and the survival rate of sperm is reduced; And long-term alcohol exposure will also bring many "substandard" sperm.

Diet: toxic substances, oligospermia and hypospermia

Diet also affects sperm quality. Toxic substances and trans fatty acids contained in beverages, fried foods, barbecues and other foods will affect the quality of sperm, resulting in low sperm count and weak sperm. At the same time, we should pay attention to the food safety problem. The heavy metal cadmium and pesticide residues in food are toxic to sperm. Therefore, vegetables and fruits should be washed as much as possible to avoid the impact of pesticides and fertilizers. Zhou Xing said that if you want high-quality sperm, you should first eat regularly and eat foods with high calories, high protein and low fat. Fresh vegetables and fruits should also be added.

Radiation: Mobile phone in pocket kills sperm

The application of electronic products in life is becoming more and more frequent. When surrounded by electronic products, pay attention to the impact of electromagnetic radiation on the body. Especially for fragile sperm, mobile phones that are infinitely close to the sperm in the pocket are safe. Therefore, men with artificial plans should reduce the time of contact with electromagnetic radiation.

Temperature: bathing in hot spring destroys sperm growth environment

The scrotal temperature is too high, which affects the sperm growth process and survival. Generally speaking, 35 ℃ is the most suitable temperature for sperm development. If you often wear pants that are too tight and airtight, and sit or wash hot water or soak in hot springs for a long time, it is easy to cause the temperature of the scrotum to be too high, damage the growth environment of sperm, or cause infertility due to too much dead sperm.

The whole cycle of sperm production is about three months. If there is any situation that may affect sperm quality during this period, it will take another three months. So boys who want to be fathers can go to the hospital for semen quality analysis if they are worried about sperm quality.
