Although the sperm is small, it has great crossing ability. It can penetrate cervical mucus and swim into the female fallopian tube. A healthy adult male can produce hundreds of millions of sperm per ejaculation, but not every sperm is "brave and fighting". "The number of sperm is amazing, but the life is fragile." Guo Jun, chief physician of the andrology department of Xiyuan Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that sperm vitality is commonly used in medicine to evaluate the quality of semen, mainly referring to the percentage of sperm with progressive movement. Sperm vitality is mainly affected by the following aspects.
Age. Generally speaking, male sperm vitality changes in a parabola with age, and 20-40 years old is the best time for male sperm vitality, which is also the "golden age of fertility". After the age of 40, the sperm vitality of men will decline at a rate of 0.7% per year, and the number of abnormal sperm will increase. After the age of 60, 85% of sperm may be abnormal.
Exercise. Research has found that male obesity will lead to increased temperature in the groin and damage sperm growth. Moderate exercise can help improve sperm vitality, balance body hormone levels, especially maintain the secretion level of male hormones. However, strenuous exercise, such as marathon and long-distance cycling, may affect the growth environment of sperm.
Temperature. The habit of wearing tights, steaming sauna, taking a hot bath, and putting a notebook on the leg for a long time will lead to poor local heat dissipation, causing the temperature of the scrotum to rise, thus reducing the production and vitality of sperm.
Cosmetics. Some substances contained in cosmetics can also affect sperm vitality, mainly phthalates and estrogen. The former is the plasticizer that has been making a lot of noise recently. The existence of such substances in food or cosmetics will interfere with the endocrine, reduce the number of male sperm, lower the ability to exercise, and abnormal morphology, cause changes in testicular tissue structure, and reduce the number of sperm in semen.
Therefore, in order to improve sperm vitality, we should start from the above aspects, such as more physical exercise, less sauna, smoking and alcohol. British fertility expert Winster pointed out that sperm growth only takes 4 months, and as long as you change your lifestyle, you can immediately improve the quantity and quality of sperm.
