Why does excessive sperm lead to male infertility? What are the precautions for semen examination
A small number of male sperm will lead to infertility, but do you know that too many sperm will also lead to infertility? What's the matter? Let's investigate together.
Why does excessive sperm lead to male infertility?
The sperm survival rate of patients with clinically seen polycythemia is low, the motility is poor, or the deformity rate is high, and the morphology is small. Too many and overcrowded sperm will not only affect the vitality of sperm, making it difficult to travel through the cervix and uterus to the fallopian tube, but also there may be some hormonal dysfunction in those with too many sperm, so that although the number of sperm is large, the quality of sperm may not be high.
Experts pointed out that although there is no correct statement about why too much sperm can lead to infertility, it is a recognized fact that too much sperm can lead to infertility. Why does too much sperm lead to infertility? Experts made the following guesses:
Due to genital inflammation, the secretion is reduced, so the sperm density is high. In this sense, excessive sperm is just "concentrated" sperm.
Because of the concentration of sperm, sperm activity is blocked, just like most people on the street can't walk, this statement is also inconclusive.
Excessive sperm may be related to human endocrine, high hormone level, excessive activity of spermatogenic cells, and high sperm density. But it is also easy to cause endocrine disorders and affect the normal activities of sperm.
Experts remind you that the treatment of excessive sperm is very difficult due to the unknown cause. It is recommended that you should have an early examination if you feel abnormal sperm.
What are the precautions for semen examination?
During semen examination, the subject needs to collect his own semen first. Whether the semen sample is collected correctly affects the accuracy of the examination results.
During semen collection, the subject is required to abstain for 3 to 5 days. If the time is too short or too long, the examination results will be affected.
Collect all semen in a clean container by masturbation or external ejaculation, and store it in an environment close to body temperature (such as under underwear), and send it to the laboratory for examination as soon as possible, but no later than 1 hour.
Do not use condoms for storage. Because the condom used at ordinary times contains spermicidal substances, sperm will die.
