Infertility is a common disease among modern men, many of which are caused by unhealthy lifestyle habits. For example, sedentary and long-term workers, especially frontline workers, are more susceptible to infertility. So, why can sitting and standing for a long time lead to male infertility?
Long sitting and standing can lead to sperm damage
Firstly, it is the unhealthy lifestyle of men. Many men are very aware that long-term smoking and drinking can harm sperm health, but it is difficult to quit. In addition, sitting and standing for a long time, and wearing tight jeans can also affect sperm quality for white-collar men.
Nowadays, many white-collar men are very busy with their work, and sitting for four or five hours without activity is a common occurrence. Sitting for a long time can increase abdominal pressure, which is not conducive to blood circulation in the testicles and affects spermatogenic function. Professional drivers are not uncommon among infertile populations.
The testicles are the place for male spermatogenesis, and the most suitable temperature for spermatogenesis is 1 ℃ lower than the human body temperature. Excessive temperature can affect the testicular spermatogenic function. Many young people advocate fashion, and jeans have become an essential "combat clothing". Wearing breathable jeans for a long time can cause the temperature of the testicles to be too high; The habit of soaking in hot springs, liking saunas, and keeping laptops on their legs for a long time can all affect men's reproductive function.
In addition, it is the incorrect use of electronic products and the excessive use of chemical products. According to the Daily Mail of the UK, a man in the UK had his sperm "boiled" due to frequently working with his laptop on his lap. You may as well touch your own pockets and not always stuff your phone into your pants or fasten it to your waist, as the electromagnetic radiation generated by electronic products can affect the quality of sperm.
In addition to the radiation from electronic products, everyone also needs to pay attention to the harm of some chemical products to male sperm. For example, long-term use of non-standard food bags [or boxes], certain low-quality cosmetics, toys, household plastics, chemical fiber underwear, etc., these products contain plasticizers that exceed the standard, which can lead to male sperm death and an increase in abnormal sperm.
