A research team in Singapore has pointed out that psychological stress, high job requirements, and possible electromagnetic field work environments are the main factors leading to male infertility.
In order to investigate whether men's careers affect their fertility status, a medical research team in Singapore conducted a survey of 640 men whose spouses were unable to conceive or were undergoing infertility treatment. They screened 218 men from these men who could not identify the cause of infertility and compared them with 227 men whose wives were currently pregnant.
The survey results found that four types of professional men find it difficult to become fathers.
Category 1: Men in the teaching profession are 7 times more likely to have infertility than ordinary men
The comparison was conducted through survey questionnaires, and the questions that these men need to answer include their lifestyle habits, such as whether they smoke, their occupation, whether they engage in chemical or radioactive work, etc. Afterwards, they also underwent sperm testing.
Category 2: Men engaged in financial analysis are five times more likely to have infertility than ordinary men
The survey results found that men who engage in service or clerical work have the lowest risk of infertility.
Category 3: The probability of infertility in engineering technology is three times higher than that of ordinary males
Although the research team is still unable to accurately explain the reasons for the differences in infertility, they point out that psychological stress, high work requirements, and possible electromagnetic field working environments are the main factors leading to male infertility.
Category 4: The probability of male infertility managed by computers is three times higher than that of ordinary males
Nowadays, there is a significant increase in male infertility patients engaged in the IT industry. Although there is no specific statistical data, preliminary conclusions can be drawn from their usual medical visits. "The above doctor's words indicate that the probability of male infertility in IT is relatively high.
Additionally, men who frequently smoke are three times more likely to be infertile than men who never smoke
A medical research team at the National University of Singapore analyzed semen samples from men with normal fertility and infertile men, and came to the conclusion that smoking reduces sperm count and weakens individual sperm.
If male friends engage in the above professions, maintain good lifestyle habits on the basis of work to avoid exacerbating the risk of infertility.
