According to data from some hospitals, about 30% of couples who come to be examined for infertility are caused by obesity. Fat men are surrounded by fat throughout their genitals, with poor heat dissipation and prolonged exposure to high temperatures, which can affect sperm production, reduce sperm quantity, and decrease sperm quality. After men become obese, their endocrine functions are disrupted, their male hormones are decreased, and their estrogen levels are high, which can easily lead to infertility.
Obesity in men may push the testicles towards the abdomen, not only causing excessive local temperature in the testicles, but also compressing the spermatic vessels due to excessive fat in the scrotum. If the arteries are compressed, the testicles are ischemic; If the vein is compressed, the testicle will stagnate and affect spermatogenesis. Obesity also reduces the strength of the levator muscle, which is present in the scrotum. When this muscle contracts, the testicles can move up and down, helping to return blood from the spermatic veins. "Too much fat in the scrotum can interfere with the normal activity of the levator muscle, which will gradually atrophy and become thinner over time.".
How to prevent male infertility?
1. Focus on protection of reproductive organs such as testicles
Male friends should take good care of their testicles, which are important reproductive organs in men. At the same time, the testicles are also a delicate organ. Male friends should pay attention to their temperature. If the temperature is high, it will affect the production of sperm. Therefore, any factors that can increase the temperature of the testicles, such as long-term cycling, taking a hot bath, wearing jeans, and so on, should be paid special attention.
2. Develop good hygiene habits
In daily life, male friends should develop good living habits, which is the best way to prevent various infectious diseases that harm male fertility, such as communicable diseases, mumps, and so on.
3. Premarital examination is necessary
Before getting married, it is necessary to have a pre marital physical examination, as the pre marital physical examination can identify the physical health status of men, and can early detect abnormal phenomena to avoid the pain after marriage.
4. Abandon bad habits
In daily life, male friends should avoid some bad habits, such as smoking and alcohol abuse. Male friends should quit smoking and alcohol, pay attention not to eat too greasy food, and also pay attention to avoiding contact with toxic substances in life.
5. Appropriate weight loss
Due to the fact that excessive obesity can also lead to infertility in men, male friends in daily life should participate in more physical exercise, adjust their dietary structure, arrange their work and rest schedules, and avoid infertility caused by excessive obesity.
