The cause of male infertility cannot be solely attributed to a lack of zinc, as it is rare for men to truly lack zinc in real life. Since there is no lack of zinc, it is certainly a mistake to supplement. Zinc deficiency can lead to diseases, but excessive zinc can also lead to diseases. Blindly supplementing zinc can cause a series of unnecessary damage to the body.
Zhang was 28 years old at the time and had been married for many years before becoming infertile. According to the doctor's examination, the quality of sperm is low and the quantity is significantly reduced. In order to treat his illness, he inquired and consulted extensively in search of a "miracle cure" for infertility. Kung Fu pays off to those who care, and he finally learned from an individual "famous doctor" that zinc deficiency is also one of the causes of infertility. From then on, he began to receive zinc supplements. Today, he will receive zinc supplements, and tomorrow, he will receive zinc supplements. As a result, not only did he not complete the task of having children, but he also became ill all over.
Zinc is an essential trace element in the human body. Lack of zinc can cause a series of functional disorders, physiological dysfunction of some tissues and organs, and even possible pathological changes and diseases, which is well known. For a period of time, people often heard about the harm of zinc deficiency to the human body, saying that zinc deficiency can lead to low sperm quality in men.
So, as long as infertility is caused by male factors, the idea is to supplement zinc, as if zinc is a good medicine for treating male infertility. Scientists have conducted experimental studies on animals and humans, and it has been confirmed that zinc deficiency can lead to low male fertility; However, many scholars have reached a conclusion that does not support this view, because many infertile patients, such as oligospermia and low sperm motility, have no significant difference in zinc content compared with normal people.
In order to clarify this issue, many medical experts have conducted extensive comparative studies. There was no significant correlation between the zinc content in seminal plasma and sperm, as well as key indicators such as sperm quantity, motility, survival rate, and deformity rate, between the fertile and non fertile groups.
That is to say, the cause of male infertility cannot be solely attributed to a lack of zinc, as it is rare for men to truly lack zinc in real life. Since there is no lack of zinc, it is certainly a mistake to supplement. Zinc deficiency can lead to diseases, but excessive zinc can also lead to diseases. Blindly supplementing zinc can cause a series of unnecessary damage to the body.
Bad lifestyle habits are the main culprit of infertility
One important reason for male infertility is due to poor lifestyle habits. These unhealthy habits mainly include four aspects: excessive smoking and drinking, excessive sauna washing, frequent staying up late, and excessive mental stress.
Especially in recent years, with the improvement of living standards, some men especially like to go to the hot sauna, which greatly increases the incidence rate of male infertility. At the same time, as the pace of life is accelerating, some urban people's life pressure is increasing, resulting in excessive mental pressure, and the incidence rate of male infertility is also greatly increased.
It is suggested that the majority of patients should learn self-regulation, control their behavior, develop good living habits and reduce the incidence rate of infertility in the face of the accelerating pace of life.
