In addition to maternal diseases having an important impact on the development of the fetus, the quality of fathers' sperm also affects the development of fertilized eggs, and even the growth of the fetus. Ordinary people often only pay attention to the role of women in the breeding of offspring. Because the fertilization and development of eggs are carried out in the mother's body, it is considered that the mother's responsibility is significant. Little wonder, the role of fathers is also very important, especially the quality and quantity of semen, which has an equally important impact on the breeding of offspring.
Sperm quality is important
In addition to egg cells, the quantity, quality, and activity of sperm play an important role in the completion of fertilization, with the quality of sperm being particularly important.
The physical quality of a man, the health and function of his reproductive organs, and certain external environmental factors all affect the quality and quantity of sperm. A man can cause infertility by having less than 1.5 milliliters of semen discharged each time, less than 20 million sperm counts, a sperm deformity rate of more than 20%, a sperm mortality rate of more than 50%, sperm motility of less than 60%, and non liquefaction of semen within half an hour.
Experts pointed out that in clinical practice, there are often patients with infertility. After treatment, the problem has been basically resolved for the woman, but it is still difficult to become pregnant. The result is often a problem with the man's semen. Some internal and external factors can cause defects in sperm production, leading to infertility in the male partner, or causing defects in offspring. At least 85% of clinically infertile male patients have defects in the sperm itself, mainly due to:
(1) Congenital factors such as testicular dysplasia or incomplete maturation, and chromosomal abnormalities;
(2) Endocrine diseases, such as pituitary, adrenal, and thyroid diseases, cause testicular spermatogenesis dysfunction;
(3) Infectious diseases of the reproductive system caused by various inflammations;
(4) Radiation exposure;
(5) The effects of hyperthermia, such as high-temperature occupations and wearing tight pants, cause the testicles to press towards the inguinal canal and increase testicular temperature, resulting in decreased testicular spermatogenesis;
(6) Chemical poisoning and the use of anti spermatogenic drugs, such as marillan and furan drugs, as well as long-term and large doses of testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone; (7) Chronic diseases and nutritional deficiencies;
(8) Sudden immune oligospermia caused by testicular injury;
(9) Oligospermia caused by varicocele, etc.
