The physical health, reproductive organ health, functional status, and some external factors of men can all affect the quality and quantity of sperm, thereby affecting fertility.
Smoking, drug use, and alcohol abuse are the biggest enemies of eugenics and nurturing. A study shows that men who smoke more than 30 cigarettes a day have a sperm survival rate of only 49%, and smokers have a 16% to 47% decrease in male hormone secretion compared to non-smokers; For those who often drink too much, 70% of sperm motility decreases or develops poorly; Long term exposure to high temperatures for work, such as prolonged driving, sitting, or frequent saunas, can lead to the occurrence of testicular ejaculation. Due to the temperature inside the scrotum of men being 1 ℃~15 ℃ lower than normal body temperature, excessive temperature can damage sperm.
The results showed that immersion in 43 ℃ hot water for 20 minutes not only decreased the sperm motility of normal people, but also hindered sperm production, especially the sauna; Frequent wearing of jeans and tight pants can tightly bind the scrotum and testicles, reducing local heat dissipation and leading to an increase in testicular temperature, thereby hindering sperm production. At the same time, tights will restrict the blood circulation of the scrotum, especially hinder the venous blood flow, resulting in testicular stasis and impeding the production of sperm.
So, it is important to avoid drinking alcohol, eating spicy food, wearing jeans or tight pants, taking or not taking saunas, and avoiding working environments such as high temperatures and radiation.
In recent years, a series of surveys conducted by many reproductive medicine experts have found that compared to thirty to forty years ago, the number of sperm per milliliter of semen in men has decreased from 100 million to the current 20-40 million, and the number of sperm is also decreasing year by year, with a decrease of over 40%. In areas with higher levels of industrialization, the quality of sperm decreases faster. In addition to a decrease in the number of sperm, there is also a downward trend in sperm quality. The samples provided by donors, the number of rapidly moving sperm, and the kinetic energy of sperm liquefaction have all decreased, while the number of microorganisms and pathogenic bacteria it contains has increased.
The quantity, quality, and vitality of semen are key factors in eugenics, and the male infertility rate caused by a decrease in semen quantity is on the rise. The male infertility rate in our country is about 4% to 5%, while the male infertility rate in urban areas is slightly higher, at around 7%. In industrialized and densely populated cities, the male infertility rate is about 10%. According to survey data from the Population and Family Planning Commission, from 1981 to 1996, the semen quality of Chinese men decreased by 1% annually, while the sperm motility rate and normal sperm rate decreased by 10.4% and 8.4%, respectively.
Male infertility patients should not only identify the cause and receive targeted treatment, but also pay attention in daily life. Firstly, they should maintain a calm attitude and not be overly anxious and worried. Some patients may seek traditional Chinese medicine, visit Western medicine, take "elixirs", and use folk remedies in a short period of time, which not only cannot cure the disease, but also can prolong the treatment time. The cycle of complete spermatogenesis in men is about 74 days, therefore, treatment usually takes 3-4 months as a course of treatment, and frequent drug changes and doctors have poor therapeutic effects. Do not eat supplements through hearsay. Reasonable treatment should be carried out under the guidance of experts. Surgical treatment should be performed on patients who are suitable for surgery, and patients who are suitable for medication should adhere to medication.
Many people are partial or picky eaters, resulting in malnutrition and even disorder, not only affecting physical fitness, but also affecting the quality and quantity of sperm due to the lack of calcium, phosphorus, vitamin A, and e in food, which may lead to infertility. Try to quit smoking, alcohol, and spicy foods as much as possible, and eat more foods that can strengthen sperm, which helps eliminate toxins from sperm and provides a clean and healthy environment for sperm development.
The causes of infertility are complex, but if good lifestyle habits are adhered to, some male infertility can be completely prevented and avoided:
Timely vaccination to prevent various infectious diseases that harm male fertility, such as mumps and sexually transmitted diseases. Mastering sexual knowledge, understanding male physiological characteristics and health knowledge. If testicles are found to be different from usual, such as swelling, induration, concavity, pain, etc., timely diagnosis and treatment are necessary.
Pay attention to protecting reproductive organs such as the testicles and strengthen self-protection awareness. If you frequently come into contact with radioactive substances, high temperatures, and toxic substances, it is necessary to do a good job of protection and avoid prolonged cycling, hot baths, wearing jeans, etc. Break bad habits, develop good personal hygiene habits, quit smoking and drinking, and develop habits of regular living and moderate exercise.
Do a good job of pre marital examination, through physical examination, early detection and treatment, cooperate with each other, understand each other, cooperate with each other in a moderate manner, increase the number of sexual intercourse before and after ovulation period, and increase the chances of pregnancy.
