In the face of the cold wave, many men choose to use electric blankets for heating. Although electric blankets can warm your bed, excessive use of electric blankets will virtually "kill" your sperm. Especially for men of childbearing age, long-term use of electric blankets is also likely to cause infertility.
Excessive temperature of the electric blanket can easily damage sperm
Because the temperature of the electric blanket is very high, the sperm is particularly sensitive to the high temperature environment. Under normal physiological conditions and general environment, the temperature of the scrotum should be 3 ℃ lower than the normal body temperature, that is, 34 ℃. The temperature of the testes and epididymis in the scrotum is also significantly lower than the body temperature, which is one of the important conditions to ensure spermatogenesis and maturation.
In addition, excessive sauna and wearing tight denim pants can increase the temperature of the scrotum, testicles, and epididymis, thereby affecting the generation and maturation of sperm.
If you are planning to conceive a baby now, it is not advisable to use an electric blanket for a long time. If you have to use an electric blanket, you must pay attention to the following aspects.
A. The power on time should not be too long. Turn off the power when going to bed and remember not to use it all night.
B. Electric blankets should not come into direct contact with the human body, and should be covered with a layer of blankets or sheets.
C. If you have a sensitive constitution, it is best not to use an electric blanket.
D. Those who frequently use electric blankets should drink plenty of water.
In addition to using an electric blanket that can kill dead sperm, soaking in hot springs can also easily kill sperm. A scientist conducted an experiment to observe the changes in sperm quality of some men who enjoy hot water baths. The results showed that those who soak in hot water baths 3-4 times a week and have a water temperature above 40 ℃ have an increase in sperm head deformities and the number of immature sperm.
Therefore, for male friends, whether using an electric blanket or soaking in hot springs in winter, precautions should be taken to protect your reproductive organs in order to improve sperm vitality and conceive a healthy baby.
