Some young couples do not have children for one year, two years, and ten years later, they say they want children. However, the couple either have poor eggs or insufficient sperm to come to the hospital and seek medical attention to address their fertility issues.
Due to the fear of being a "child slave" for married men and women, they both want to have a car, a building, or play for a few years before having another child. For reproductive doctors, the condition of male sperm is worrying due to environmental and lifestyle factors.
80% of male sperm fail
The reason for coming to the reproductive center now is mainly due to the poor quality of male sperm. If this situation arises, children should seek more help from their husband's artificial insemination. The vast majority of male patients undergoing artificial insemination with husband's sperm experience weak sperm and oligospermia. Some patients have poor semen quality, low sperm count, and even no sperm in the semen, which is a typical azoospermia that clearly requires treatment first.
In fact, artificial insemination with husband's sperm is the earliest and simplest assisted reproductive technology. Its focus is to help build a bridge for sperm, allowing selected sperm to directly enter the uterine cavity.
Under normal circumstances, the most energetic and strong 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 containing impurities, removing those "old, weak, sick, and disabled", selecting "special forces", and then adding some vitality to them, "parachuted" into the uterine cavity. In principle, a single sperm is enough to fertilize an egg, but in reality, sperm are focused on collective warfare
Long sitting and high temperatures can reduce sperm count
Clinically, we see too many men with poor sperm quality. 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 testicles are the organ that fears high temperatures the most, so high temperatures can kill some sperm. Xia Wei said that there was once an infertile patient who came to check the sperm quality. The first time he checked the sperm motility was not enough. When he checked again two weeks later, there was almost no sperm. The doctors are so strange, asking him what he has been doing and eating recently. The patient said he had scrotal eczema and went to a certain hospital for several times of traditional Chinese medicine fumigation treatment. Unexpectedly, the high-temperature fumigation of this crucial area killed the sperm. So, 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 environments can affect sperm quality.
In addition, it has now been found that the IT community is also prone to infertility. Xia Wei said that it is not the reason for computer radiation, but rather the long-term sedentary lifestyle that has a certain impact on the spermatogenic function of the testes.
There are also things like hot springs, saunas, pesticides, antidepressants, antibiotics, smoking and alcohol abuse that can all "kill sperm". If you don't pay attention, it may be like the warning in the book "Feminizing Nature" published in the UK a few years ago: "Men will one day lose their reproductive ability, and they may not be able to hear the voices of children
