Methods for improving sperm quality
1. Smoking and alcoholism
Nicotine in cigarettes can reduce the secretion of sex hormones and kill sperm. Sperm is very sensitive to the toxins in cigarettes. If adult men smoke 30 cigarettes a day, the survival rate of sperm is only 4%. At the same time, the deformity rate of sperm increases. Long term heavy drinking can cause chronic or acute alcoholism in the human body, which can cause 70% of sperm to develop poorly or lose vitality.
2. Difficulty in cooling the scrotum
The testicles have the ability to produce sperm, and the scrotum is the temperature regulator of the testicles. If you often take a hot bath with too high a temperature, it will cause the temperature of the scrotum to rise, and the quantity and quality of sperm will decrease. In addition, wearing jeans and tight pants often makes it more difficult for the scrotum to dissipate heat, and the testicular reproductive ability will also be greatly reduced.
3. Worry and worry
Mental state can also reduce sperm quality. If people are often in a state of worry and worry, it can affect the function of the nervous and endocrine systems. So, improving the quality of sperm also requires maintaining a good mindset.
4. Sexual activity is too frequent
Some men like to talk about heroes based on "frequency". Having sex too frequently not only leads to impotence, but also reduces the number of sperm. If there are less than 20 million sperm per milliliter of semen, the probability of pregnancy will also be greatly reduced.
5. The impact of drugs
If male friends frequently use sedatives, anti-tumor drugs, and some chemical drugs, it may cause sperm growth disorders. So, if you want to improve sperm quality and plan for male friends during pregnancy, you should be cautious in drug use and preferably consult a professional doctor.
6. Reduce the use of cosmetics
Cosmetics widely contain a substance called phthalate, which can disrupt the endocrine system, leading to a decrease in male sperm count, decreased motility, and abnormal morphology.
7. Relax mindset
Excessive mental stress can also have a negative impact on sperm growth. So men should do things that can help them relax, such as walking, bathing, etc., before enjoying sex.
8. Keep your phone in your shirt pocket
Placing a mobile phone in your pants pocket, a laptop on your knee, or wearing tight pants can increase scrotal temperature and harm sperm, so you should keep your phone in your top pocket.
9. Eat more green vegetables
Green vegetables contain ingredients such as vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc, and selenium that are beneficial for sperm growth. Nuts and fish are rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, and should also be eaten more to promote sperm cell growth.
10. Get more exercise
Research has shown that excessive obesity in men can lead to an increase in temperature in the groin, damage the growth of sperm, and ultimately lead to infertility. Therefore, controlling weight within the standard range can improve the quality of sperm. However, the intensity of exercise should be moderate. Intense exercise, such as marathons and long-distance cycling, can still raise the temperature of the testes and disrupt the cool environment required for sperm growth. Cycling can also put fragile testicular vesicles and blood vessels at risk. Therefore, it is recommended to wear padded shorts and choose a bicycle with good shock absorption function when cycling.
