Sperm is an indispensable tool for male offspring, and any problems with sperm can have a serious impact on male fertility. Maintaining sperm quality in daily life is the primary task for every male. When semen is abnormal, male friends must consider the possibility of illness.
Diseases that cause abnormal semen
1. Parotitis
The parotid gland is the largest gland in the salivary gland, located near the earlobe on both cheeks. When parotitis occurs, the enlargement of the parotid gland is centered around the earlobe and can be on one or both sides. Only 4.4% of patients with mumps are complicated with orchitis, which is common after puberty. At this time, orchitis affects sperm quality and improves the incidence rate of azoospermia, especially bilateral orchitis. Unilateral or bilateral orchitis, with an increase in cases of abnormal semen analysis. In summary, mumps, especially when combined with orchitis, can have adverse effects on semen.
2. Diabetes
Diabetes can also cause semen abnormalities. This is because diabetes is related to ejaculatory dysfunction and will not cause spermatozoa and abnormal sperm quality. The impact of diabetes on fertility is caused by sexual dysfunction. Patients with a history of nervous system diseases often show ejaculation dysfunction, but the incidence of azoospermia and abnormal semen quality has not increased.
3. Bronchitis
Bronchitis can also cause semen abnormalities, and it is often a clinical manifestation of systemic ciliary dysfunction. In such patients, the incidence of azoospermia significantly increases. The patient's testicular volume is normal, indicating that azoospermia is caused by blocked vas deferens. The abnormal rate of semen analysis in patients with bronchitis increases, and the average sperm density and proportion of sperm moving forward are lower.
What should men do to protect their sperm?
1. Reduce the harm of smoking and alcohol
Smoking and alcohol abuse are enemies of sperm, and some male bodies are very sensitive to the toxins in tobacco. Nicotine in tobacco can kill sperm. Alcoholism that must be completely stopped will not only reduce the function of gonad, but also cause chromosome abnormalities in sperm. Wine is different from Baijiu, beer and fruit wine. From a health point of view, red wine, one of the fruit wines, is the best and can be drunk in moderation.
2. Maintain scrotal temperature
Do not wear tight fitting clothing or chemical fiber underwear. The tights tightly bind the scrotum and testes, reduce local heat dissipation, cause high temperature in the testes, hinder sperm production, limit the return of venous blood at the scrotum, make the testes congest, affect the production of sperm, blend and polyester and other chemical fiber underwear, generate electrostatic field in the penis tissue, inhibit sperm production, reduce the number of sperm, do not wash sauna and hot tub bath, The temperature of sauna and hot tub baths is higher than that of sperm development. Under high temperature conditions, the scrotum is affected, resulting in impaired sperm development and sperm death.
