If a man has these six bad habits, they may also lead to not being able to conceive a child
Men ejaculate with tens of millions of sperm, of which less than one in ten thousand can experience the vagina, cervix, and reach the uterus, and then wait for fertilization in the fallopian tube. Ultimately, only one sperm can bind to the egg and develop into a fetus.
In this "one in a million" competition, if a man has sperm problems, it is very difficult to conceive a child smoothly.
Six bad habits can harm sperm
1. Smoking, even taking drugs
Smoking can lead to decreased sperm count, decreased sperm motility, and abnormal sperm morphology. Drug use not only damages sperm health, but also is an illegal act. It is important to stay away from drugs.
2. Drinking alcohol
Alcohol can reduce sperm motility and reduce the number of healthy sperm.
3. Can't shut up, too fat
Being too fat may lead to endocrine disorder and increase the risk of hypertension and diabetes, thus damaging fragile sperm.
4. Not eating well
If the human body lacks vitamin C and zinc, it can affect sperm activity, and vitamin E is also related to sperm production and reproductive ability. Therefore, it is necessary to have a balanced diet to meet the daily nutrition needs of the human body and ensure sperm health.
5. Exposure to toxic substances
Men who are frequently exposed to toxic and harmful substances (such as pesticides, pesticides, lead, ionizing radiation, and heavy metals) in their daily work and life have an increased risk of infertility.
6. Often wear tight and airtight pants
Testicles are very sensitive to temperature, and excessive temperature can affect testicular spermatogenesis and sperm survival. Therefore, it is recommended to wear loose and breathable underwear, not tight jeans, and avoid taking saunas and hot baths.
What are the consequences of bad habits?
These bad habits can affect semen quality, leading to male infertility, which can be caused by:
Low sperm count (oligozoospermia);
Poor sperm motility (asthenospermia);
Too many sperm with abnormal morphology (dysspermia);
Other semen abnormalities.
If you break your bad habits and still have sperm problems, you may need to seek medical advice from a fertility center.
Can I still have a child after suffering from oligozoospermia?
After strict and standardized treatment, patients with oligozoospermia and asthenospermia still have a good chance of bearing children, but the most important thing is to find the cause. Here are some of the most common situations:
1. Varicocele: Can
Conditions such as insufficient sperm motility caused by varicocele generally improve significantly after surgical treatment.
2. Reproductive system infection: Can
Reproductive system infections (such as epididymitis, seminal vesicular adenitis, etc.) cause a decline in semen quality, which can lead to infertility and can be fertile after standardized anti-inflammatory treatment.
Genetic factors: being a test tube baby
Some patients have genetic defects due to chromosomal abnormalities and other reasons. Currently, such patients usually have no obvious therapeutic effect, and their chances of natural pregnancy are relatively small. Therefore, assisted reproductive techniques such as "in vitro fertilization" are needed.
There are also other diseases that can lead to abnormal symptoms such as insufficient sperm production capacity in the testicles, clogged pipes that transport sperm, and thus cause oligozoospermia and asthenospermia. In these specific cases, it is necessary for doctors to analyze whether or not they can reproduce.
