Fertility is a topic of great concern to men. Here are five popular folk sayings about "killing sperm". Are these sayings true or false? Ask an expert to explain it to us.
1. The difference between briefs and boxers is not significant
Many people believe that wearing briefs can increase scrotal temperature and harm sperm compared to flat legged underwear.
This fear is not really necessary. In 1998, New York University conducted a study and found that no matter which type of underwear you wear, the impact on the scrotum is similar.
The expert's advice is not to spend too much effort choosing underwear patterns, but rather to let the scrotum be ventilated and ventilated.
2. Eating red meat does not affect sperm quality
The researchers analyzed multiple previous trials and found no clear evidence to support the association between the two. But the best option is to eat more fish.
3. Don't put your laptop on your lap
New York University research has found that prolonged use of laptops on the knee can significantly increase scrotal temperature.
However, scientists are still studying whether the radio waves emitted by electronic devices such as mobile phones or music players have adverse effects on sperm.
The safer way is to try not to leave them in your pants pocket for long periods of time.
4. Hot baths are taboos
Hot baths and saunas are clearly "killers" that can affect sperm quantity and quality. Generally, once a week is a suitable frequency.
5. Anesthetics
Some studies have shown that drugs such as anesthetics can damage the endocrine system of men, and long-term use of painkillers can also produce such side effects.
Therefore, even over the counter drugs should be taken with caution.
The above situations need to attract the attention and attention of most men. In the survey, 80% of patients in China admitted that due to long-term neglect of small health issues, their bodies were repeatedly overdrawn, and only after a series of problems did they regret it.
