Beware of periodontal disease, which can lead to infertility
In addition to sexual organ or sperm problems, there is another cause of male infertility, which is oral disease - periodontal disease.
A German doctor who has been treating male infertility for many years has found that 50% of patients who treat periodontal disease successfully conceive their wives. This precisely proves that a lesion in one organ will also affect other organs.
Periodontal bacteria and their toxins can easily enter the bloodstream and reach other parts of the body (such as the testes) through blood circulation, thereby damaging sperm and causing infertility.
For the male immune system, sperm are classified as foreign substances. In order to allow sperm to survive, the testes have a certain degree of immunosuppressive ability. It is precisely because of this inhibition that the testicles are relatively more susceptible to bacterial infection, so only men with strong immunity are more likely to produce qualified sperm. Oral infections are a major cause of bacteria in semen. According to the Journal of Andrology, among 36 patients with drug-resistant bacteria in their semen, their oral bacterial count remained at a high level. After oral treatment, two-thirds of the sperm samples were sterile.
In addition to its impact on semen quality, male oral health also affects partner health. Bacteria in the mouth may be passed on to partners during kissing, posing a threat to the health of expectant mothers.
Several factors may lead to infertility
What causes male infertility? It is mainly caused by reproductive tract infections, such as prostatitis, epididymitis, orchitis, urethritis, and in severe cases, it affects male fertility.
Obstruction of the vas deferens, both congenital and acquired, can affect sperm transport and lead to infertility.
Drug factors: Various hormone drugs and cancer chemotherapy drugs, such as certain alkyl compounds, can often cause temporary or permanent damage to sperm production.
Male sexual dysfunction erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, non ejaculation and retrograde ejaculation can all cause male infertility.
Poor lifestyle habits and work factors include long-term wearing of tight pants, smoking and alcohol abuse, exposure to toxic substances, frequent hot baths, improper or excessive sexual activity, frequent long-distance and overworked cycling, and radiation damage.
Smoking and drinking: Smoking and drinking are bad habits that induce male infertility. The toxins in cigarettes are the great enemies of male sperm, which can kill sperm and affect sperm quality; Alcohol can affect male liver function, thereby affecting endocrine function and inducing male infertility.
Improper diet: Men's bad eating habits can also lead to male infertility. Among them, men's partial or picky eating can lead to a lack of sperm nutrients, and frequent fast food consumption can lead to excessive intake of estrogen, which may lead to male infertility.
Improper sexual activity: Many men have many bad habits during sexual activity, which may lead to male infertility. Among them, excessive sexual activity or bad habits such as unclean sexual activity in men can seriously lead to male infertility.
