The quality standard of male sperm is directly proportional to the success of pregnancy. When the sperm quality standard is qualified, the pregnancy rate is high and the fetal health is high. On the contrary, the pregnancy rate is low and the fetus is prone to health problems. So, what is the sperm quality standard? How to improve sperm quality if the quality is not good?
Sperm quality standard measures sperm quality standard from semen volume, color, pH, viscosity, vitality and other aspects. Specific standards are as follows: semen volume: more than or equal to 2ml is normal. Color: grayish white or slightly yellow is normal. Acidity and alkalinity: test the acidity and alkalinity of semen, and the PH value is normal between 7.2-7.8. Viscosity: put the semen containing sperm in a glassware, dip the semen with a glass rod and gently lift it. The degree of drawing is less than 2cm, which is normal. Activity: ≥ 50% of sperm move forward rapidly in a straight line.
What about low sperm quality? Methods to improve the quality of male sperm 1. High quality protein and arginine food: how to improve sperm quality? High quality protein is the main raw material for semen formation. High-protein foods include lean meat, pig spinal cord, dog meat, beef and mutton, chicken and duck, eggs, fish and shrimp, bean products, etc. Arginine is an essential ingredient for sperm production, and oligospermia will occur when arginine is lacking. The foods containing arginine include eel, black fish, sea cucumber, tendon, bean products, lean meat, etc. 2. Supplement various vitamins: how to improve sperm quality? Vitamins can provide raw materials for sperm, promote spermatogenesis and prevent sexual organs from being damaged. Vitamin E is most closely related to the reproductive system. It can prevent aging of sexual organs, regenerate empty vas deferens and enhance sperm vitality. Foods containing vitamin E are often destroyed during processing, so they can be used as preparations, such as vitamin E capsules. Other vitamins are abundant in popular vegetables.
3. Increase the intake of minerals, especially trace elements: human testicles, prostate and semen all contain high concentrations of zinc. Long-term zinc deficiency will lead to sperm scarcity and testicular atrophy. High-zinc foods are mainly shellfish, such as oysters, which contain the most zinc and can eat more. 4. Properly increase the food intake rich in sex hormones such as sheep kidney, pig kidney, dog testicle, bullwhip, chicken liver, etc., which can promote the division and maturation of spermatogonia and facilitate spermatogenesis.
