Frequent bathing
The production of sperm in the testes requires an environment that is 1 ℃ to 1.5 ℃ lower than normal body temperature of 37 ℃. According to data, soaking in warm water at 43 ℃ to 44 ℃ for 20 minutes for 3 consecutive days can reduce the sperm concentration of individuals with normal sperm concentration to below 10 million per milliliter, which can last for 3 weeks. Therefore, frequent and prolonged hot water baths are not suitable for infertile patients with low sperm count and low motility. Of course, it doesn't matter if you take a short hot water bath 1-2 times a week.
Smoking and drinking
Smoking and drinking are two bad habits of "spermicidal", which will damage the spermatid cells, interfere with sperm production and affect sperm motility. Moreover, during pregnancy preparation, men should abstain from alcohol six months in advance, which can also reduce the defect rate of fetal birth.
Wearing tight pants
The fabric of jeans is thick, close to the skin, and has poor ventilation and heat dissipation functions. The optimal temperature for the testicles to produce sperm is around 36 ℃. As long as the human body temperature approaches 40 ℃, it will affect the generation and vitality of sperm. After testing, it has been found that the temperature of the crotch after wearing tight jeans is just within this temperature range. Therefore, long-term wearing of tight jeans can affect male fertility, especially in summer when high temperatures can hinder sperm production. Similarly, tight underwear should not be worn frequently.
Long sitting and standing
For men, prolonged sitting can lead to poor testicular blood flow and lead to high temperatures. Driving has a greater impact, and besides sitting for a long time, there are also frequent gear changes, brake application, clutch, and leg friction that can generate heat. This combination of factors has led to underwear becoming a "sauna room", and testicles being in a "sauna room" above their normal working temperature will naturally not produce sperm.
Standing for a long time can also affect male reproductive health. Long term standing in males can easily lead to obstruction of the spermatic veins in the scrotum, resulting in abnormal swelling. However, if males with varicocele stand for a long time, metabolic waste in the blood can affect sperm production and development. "Because varicocele causes infertility, it accounts for 40% of male infertility patients.
Excessive obesity
Obesity not only affects physical appearance, but also poses a hidden danger to male infertility.
Adipose tissue can affect sexual hormone metabolism and lead to excessive temperature in the male scrotum, thereby affecting sperm production. According to statistics, obese men have a 60% higher risk of having low sperm count and a 40% higher probability of abnormal sperm compared to normal individuals.
