What are the other factors that can cause male infertility?
1. Environmental factors such as haze
Recently, the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and the China Meteorological Administration jointly released the Green Paper on Climate Change: Report on Climate Change (2013), pointing out that haze weather phenomenon will cause significant negative impacts on climate, environment, health, economy and other aspects, such as changing lung function and structure, affecting reproductive capacity, and changing the immune structure of the human body.
Haze can affect reproductive ability, really? Experts believe that there is no doubt that haze is a factor affecting fertility and may have an impact on both male and female reproductive systems.
Haze is one of the reasons for the rapid increase in infertility in couples. "Experts analyze that on the one hand, haze contains heavy metals such as lead and manganese, which can affect the quality of male sperm; On the other hand, haze can affect a person's respiratory system, organ function, etc., which directly affects the secretion of male testosterone hormone, thereby affecting fertility.
2. Congenital Genital Malformation
Cryptorchidism is the most common congenital organ abnormality, which is the absence of testicles in the scrotum. It includes incomplete testicular descent, ectopic testicles, and so on. The testicles stay in the abdominal cavity and are exposed to relatively high temperatures, which hinders their growth and gradually shrinks, making them unable to produce sperm and lacking fertility. It should be noted that if the testicles stay in the abdominal cavity, the chances of developing malignant tumors will greatly increase. Therefore, cryptorchidism should be highly valued and corrected as soon as possible. Generally speaking, one should go to the hospital for surgery if they do not decline after the age of one.
3. Sauna washing
Sauna can eliminate fatigue and has the effect of dispelling diseases and fitness, which many people are happy to do. However, experts remind that it is saunas that have become the main culprit of some young people's infertility. The reason is very simple. Sperm is born in the testicles and has strict temperature requirements. It must develop normally under constant temperature conditions of 34 ℃ -35 ℃. However, the temperature in a sauna room is significantly higher than this standard, which is extremely unfavorable for sperm growth or causes sperm death.
Therefore, for young men who have not yet given birth, it is only advisable to take a sauna occasionally, and frequent visits may result in small gains and losses.
4. Wearing tight pants frequently
Many young men pursue the fashion of tight pants and wear jeans year-round. Little did they know that jeans tightly bind the scrotum and testicles, reducing local heat dissipation and causing testicular temperature to rise, hindering sperm production. At the same time, tights restrict the blood circulation of the scrotum, especially hinder the return of venous blood, resulting in testicular congestion, which brings resistance to sperm production.
