Male sperm accounts for 80%
"The reason why we come to the reproductive center now is basically because the quality of male sperm is' not good '(not good)," Xia Wei said, "In this situation, if you want to have children resort to artificial insemination with husband's sperm, the majority of male patients undergoing artificial insemination with husband's sperm have weak sperm and oligospermia. Some patients have poor semen quality, low sperm count, and even no sperm in their semen. Typical azoospermia, such as this situation, clearly requires treatment first."
In fact, artificial insemination with husband sperm is the earliest and simplest assisted reproductive technology. Its key point is to help build a bridge for sperm, allowing selected sperm to enter the uterine cavity directly.
Under normal circumstances, the most energetic and strongest sperm can smoothly combine with the egg, and it is impossible for sperm to directly jump into the uterine cavity. "Artificial insemination with husband's sperm involves washing the semen with impurities, removing those" old, weak, sick, and disabled ", selecting" special soldiers ", and then adding some vitality to them," airborne "into the uterine cavity.". "In principle, a single strand of sperm is sufficient to fertilize an egg, but in fact, sperm emphasizes a collective warfare approach."
Sitting high temperatures can reduce sperm count
Clinically, too many men have seen sperm quality that is quite poor. Upon careful inquiry, it is not difficult to find that the survival status of sperm is closely related to the living and working environment of men.
The testicle is the organ that most fears high temperatures, so high temperatures can kill some sperm. Xia Wei said that there was once an infertile patient who came to check the sperm quality, but the sperm vitality was not enough for the first time. After two weeks of checking again, there was almost no sperm left. The doctors were so strange that they asked him what he had done and eaten recently. The patient said that he had developed scrotal eczema and went to a hospital for several times of traditional Chinese medicine fumigation treatment. Unexpectedly, the high temperature fumigation of this crucial area killed the sperm. Therefore, experts remind men who want to give birth, especially to avoid high temperatures in the testicles. For example, chefs and drivers, high temperature and high heat can affect sperm quality.
In addition, it is also found that IT professionals are also prone to infertility. Xia Wei said that it is not the computer radiation, but rather the long-term sedentary lifestyle that has had a certain impact on the testicular spermatogenic function.
There are also hot springs, saunas, pesticides, antidepressants, antibiotics, smoking and alcohol abuse that can be "spermicidal." If you don't pay attention, it may be true that a warning in the book "Feminizing Nature" published several years ago in the UK: "A man may one day lose his reproductive ability, and it is likely that he will soon be unable to hear the voice of a child."
