Male infertility caused by trace elements? Male infertility is currently a hot topic. There are various reasons for male infertility, and according to the nature of infertility, it can be generally divided into two categories: one is called absolute infertility, and the other is called relative infertility. The former accounts for less than 10% of the total number of infertility, while the latter, also known as those with low fertility, accounts for more than 90% of the total number of infertility. According to the length of the infertility cycle of couples, these infertile individuals can be further divided into the following categories:
1、 Couples with normal sexual life: Those who cohabit for more than 6 months and cannot make the woman pregnant are generally in a low fertility state;
2、 Couples with a normal sexual life: Those who cohabit for more than two years and cannot make the woman pregnant belong to the middle level and low fertility range;
3、 Those who have lived together for more than five years and are unable to conceive their female partner are severely infertile.
Zheng Dianzeng, an expert in the andrology department of Shanghai Urology Hospital, said, "Most of the patients with these low fertility abilities can be treated.". Over the past decade, research has found that the fertility disorders of some low fertility patients are related to the lack or change of trace elements. It is now known that the main trace elements related to fertility include zinc, copper, selenium, manganese, magnesium, and so on. They not only participate in maintaining the stability of the sperm survival environment, but also participate in the formation of sperm, which is closely related to sperm maturation, capacitation, and acrosome reaction.
