Many knowledgeable male friends know that tobacco and alcohol can harm sperm, leading to decreased sperm quality, and even infertility. In order to achieve the effect of eugenics, before having a child, everyone should know how to quit smoking and alcohol. However, modern life and work are hectic. In order to relieve stress, some male friends like to take a hot bath or take a sauna, which is both comfortable and relaxing. It is a pleasant thing. Little is known that often in this high-temperature state, it can damage the testicles and affect fertility.
Excessive sauna temperature affects sperm quality
Foreign research has confirmed that after spending 55 minutes in a high temperature environment of 38.5 degrees Celsius, it has been found that male sperm quality has decreased, leading to a significant impact on fertility. This is because the most suitable temperature for sperm production is between 35.6 and 36 degrees Celsius, and over 37 degrees Celsius can cause damage. The first effect is on spermatogenic cells, and long-term high temperatures can cause irreversible damage to fertility, even affecting the testicular interstitial cells that produce androgens, which in turn affects male sexual function.
In fact, the scrotum itself has the function of heat dissipation, so the temperature of the testicles inside the scrotum is 1-2 degrees lower than the body temperature. However, baths and saunas often have higher temperatures, which inevitably greatly affects sperm quality. Experts suggest that male friends should not take frequent hot baths or saunas, and the water temperature should preferably be controlled at around 34 degrees Celsius. Each time, it should not be too long, lasting 15-20 minutes. Warm reminder: For male friends with fertility needs, it is best not to go to the sauna within six months.
What are the methods for improving sperm quality?
To improve sperm quality, first of all, it is necessary to control weight, avoid excessive obesity, stay away from tobacco, alcohol, and drugs, and avoid local high-temperature injury. At the same time, it is necessary to participate in more exercise and exercise at a moderate intensity, as intense exercise can increase the temperature of the testicles and damage the cool environment required for sperm growth. In terms of diet, eating more foods rich in protein and vitamins, as well as eating some foods rich in sexual hormones in moderation, is also conducive to improving sperm quality.
