Summer is a big test for sperm, because the testicle where sperm is produced is a place that is afraid of high temperatures. The temperature that sperm can withstand is even lower than the temperature of the human body. If a male's testicle is exposed to high temperatures for a long time, the quality of sperm will greatly decrease. Therefore, men should take protective measures and carefully care of their sperm in midsummer.
Testicles are afraid of heat. In summer, pants should be as loose as possible to facilitate heat dissipation
The reason why human evolution has allowed male genitalia to be exposed outside the body rather than contracted into the body is to allow it to breathe. As human civilization gradually developed, people became ashamed and then covered themselves with leaves and cloth. Despite this, people still need to take care not to let the heat kill sperm. For men, the testicle is the organ that is most afraid of high temperatures, and sultry summer weather is more destructive to sperm.
Experts recommend that men wear pants that are as loose as possible in summer to dissipate heat faster, and cotton underwear has better ventilation. Experts suggest that men can appropriately sleep naked on summer nights to "liberate" their genitals.
Is summer not suitable for "making people"?
"The quality of sperm in summer is relatively low, so is it not suitable for young couples who are willing to become new parents to" make people "in summer?"?
"Low sperm quality in summer does not mean that you cannot conceive.". Experts explain that poor sperm quality and insufficient vitality in summer just indicate that the success rate of couples' "creating humans" is lower than in spring, but once successful, the health of fertilized eggs remains good.
Experts pointed out that the total number of sperm in summer is small and the vitality is insufficient. For example, in a man with asthenospermia, the proportion of sperm swimming forward is not high (sperm swimming forward is likely to encounter an egg), which means that the ability of mature sperm to successfully pierce the egg for pregnancy is relatively low. In the summer, the proportion may drop to zero, which means there is no possibility of pregnancy.
However, for normal men, the quality of sperm in summer is poor, but there is still a certain amount of mature and healthy sperm. Finally, as long as one sperm can pierce the egg and become pregnant, the task is successfully completed. Experts say there is currently no research to confirm that children born during summer pregnancy have a higher defect rate than children born during other seasons.
Experts say that unlike animals, humans often use the best seasons of spring and autumn to reproduce their offspring, but humans do not have significant "seasonality" in this regard.
