Introduction: Male infertility refers to infertility caused mainly by male factors in couples. About 25% of couples are unable to conceive after one year of marriage. Male factors account for approximately 50% of the causes of infertility.
The causes of male infertility are mainly divided into two categories: one is sexual dysfunction, including erectile dysfunction and ejaculatory dysfunction, and the other is abnormal sperm indicators such as oligozoospermia, asthenozoospermia, and teratogenia. Up to 60% to 75% of patients' semen analysis shows varying degrees of oligospermia, asthenozoospermia, and teratospermia, but some still cannot be determined as the true cause of infertility. For those paradoxical results, we refer to them as unexplained male infertility, which often confuses doctors. Let's count the "culprits" of male infertility caused by abnormal sperm quality for you.
Factors affecting male infertility
1. Drug factors
If taking drugs containing hormones and cancer chemotherapy drugs, the consequences can lead to temporary or permanent damage to sperm production.
2. Surgical factors
If a male friend has undergone urethral valve surgery, bladder neck incision for urethral obstruction, retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy or major retroperitoneal surgery, retrograde ejaculation or ejaculation disorder may be caused, leading to infertility.
Are you still doing these lifestyle habits that can lead to infertility?
1. Bathing and Sauna
The temperature of baths and saunas is relatively high, which can easily damage the living environment of sperm. The appropriate temperature for sperm generation and survival is 1-2 ℃ below body temperature, which is below 37 ℃, while the temperature of baths and saunas far exceeds this standard.
2. Tights and jeans
Tight pants and jeans are designed to be close to the skin, with a tight fit that will firmly adhere to the scrotum and testicles, increasing the local temperature of the testicles and hindering sperm production.
3. Riding a racing car
The center of gravity tilts forward and the waist bends in the racing action. It will make the testicles and prostate gland tightly adhere to the seat cushion. After prolonged compression, ischemia, edema, and inflammation are prone to occur, which can affect the normal secretion of semen and sperm production, leading to infertility.
Frequent consumption of these foods can also lead to male infertility
1. Monosodium glutamate
The accumulation of sodium glutamate and phthalates in monosodium glutamate in the body exceeds 10 grams, which can affect sperm quality, hinder chromosome synthesis, and reduce sperm production. An increase in abnormal sperm in males can lead to infertility.
2. Sunflower seeds
The protein content of sunflower seeds can cause testicular atrophy, leading to male infertility and erectile dysfunction.
3. Alcohol
The alcohol contained in alcohol will increase the concentration of catecholamine in the body, vasospasm, and affect the spermatogenic function.
There are many factors that can cause male infertility, and some male friends have bad habits that can also lead to infertility.
