Eight confirmed sperm "killers"
1. Take a bath. The testicles need to be cooler than other parts of the body to function properly, and high temperatures can affect the number and activity of sperm. Some experts believe that when the testicular temperature exceeds 36.67 degrees Celsius, sperm production will stop, and the negative impact on sperm will continue for several months. Research has shown that soaking in a jacuzzi or hot tub for 30 minutes can temporarily reduce sperm production.
2. High fever. Studies have shown that after a high fever in men, sperm concentration decreases by 35%.
3. Laptop computer. When a laptop is running, its internal maximum temperature can reach over 70 degrees Celsius. Working with the laptop on both legs for a long time can raise the scrotal temperature by nearly 3 degrees Celsius, possibly leading to a decrease in sperm count.
4. Tight underwear. The tighter your underwear, the less conducive it is to sperm production. When the scrotum is tightly wrapped in a narrow space, lack of air circulation and elevated temperature can hinder sperm production.
5. Varicose veins. Varicocele can lead to an increase in local testicular temperature and vasoactive substances, thereby affecting testicular spermatogenesis.
6. Mobile phone. Research has found that men who use mobile phones for more than 4 hours a day have a significant decrease in sperm count, activity, and morphology.
7. Obesity. A study by the World Health Organization found that obese men have decreased testicular function and significantly reduced sperm counts compared to people with normal weight.
8. Party. It is inevitable to smoke and drink heavily at parties, which can damage reproductive and sexual functions. Excessive drinking can affect sperm quality and hinder sperm production. Smoking can damage sperm motility, even damage sperm DNA, and increase the risk of erectile dysfunction
