After graduating from a famous university in the north, Mr. Gu took the lead in running a large computer software creation company in the south. The company's business is booming, and Mr. Gu's natural affairs are busy. Due to his frequent rush to work, he often sits in front of the computer all day long, and staying up all night has become a regular meal. Over time, mental fatigue, dizziness, insomnia, and backache are inevitable. In order to alleviate mental stress and physical overdraft, Mr. Gu likes to go to some leisure centers, such as pressing his back and waist, soaking in warm water baths, and steaming sauna. Due to the good results, he gradually developed a habit of relaxing after busy business every day.
In recent years, I have achieved great success in my career and had more than enough wealth. Some time ago, my wife reminded Mr. Gu that it was time to end the two person world for over six years. To this end, Mr. Gu, who has long been "longing for children" and is thirsty, is certainly pleased to accept it. Mr. Gu is intelligent by nature and has a superior IQ. Mrs. Gu has beautiful skin and a slim figure. They are looking forward to raising a healthy and intelligent child who inherits their respective advantages.
Regarding the "human engineering", they decided to fight a prepared battle. First of all, they each "went out", surfing the internet, looking for books, asking friends, and collecting a lot of information about eugenics. Then, they went to the hospital specifically to seek advice from relevant experts, and both completed a complete set of pre pregnancy general examinations. The results were as expected - everything was normal. Finally, on a sunny spring day, they put aside all work and entertainment and went on vacation with a clear purpose: to conceive naturally in their best physical and emotional condition, striving to hit the nail on the head. At this point, the "great plan to create a person" can be described as "everything is ready, only due to the east wind.". However, it is a great pity that not long after returning from the journey, Mrs. Gu found that her monthly affairs were still "never forsaken", and that day arrived on time again. Although Mr. and Mrs. Gu are unhappy, they failed in their first attempt and will have many opportunities in the future.
"The revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard." The enthusiasm for "revolution" should continue. Although it is no longer possible to arrange for a vacation when they act thereafter, they still pay great attention to the rhythm of their daily work and life. Even though Mr. Gu is busy, he has not forgotten to take some time out every day to relax in the leisure center, in order to achieve a harmonious unity of body and mind.
However, unconsciously, nearly a year passed, and Mrs. Gu's happy event remained silent. In desperation, they both came to the hospital for help. After some twists and turns, it was found that Mrs. Gu's blood test, B-ultrasound scan, and tubal drainage results were all normal. Finally, the doctor focused his attention on Mr. Gu. After semen examination, it was found that Mr. Gu's sperm count was relatively low, and his sperm survival rate and motility were very low. However, after several months of comprehensive treatment with traditional Chinese and Western medicine, although Mr. Gu's semen test results have improved, they still fail to reach the normal range. Due to the complex factors affecting sperm motility and survival rate, it is often difficult to find the true cause in clinical practice, but it is certain that many physical and chemical factors do have a significant impact on semen quality. For this reason, relevant experts evaluated Mr. Gu's work environment and living habits, and found that he continued to take sauna and hot bath every day. After careful analysis, long-term hot bubble and steaming may damage sperm health. Therefore, it is recommended that he temporarily stop taking sauna and hot bath during treatment. Sure enough, Mrs. Gu successfully became pregnant three months later.
Doctor's comments: There are many and complex factors that affect testicular spermatogenesis, which means that it is often difficult to accurately identify the causes of oligospermia (decreased sperm count during semen testing) and oligospermia (decreased sperm survival and vitality) encountered in clinical practice. In addition to human factors, external physical and chemical factors have an important impact on sperm production.
In addition, testicular spermatogenic cells alone are very sensitive to temperature, and appropriate temperature is important for sperm production. The most suitable temperature inside the human scrotum is 32 degrees Celsius to 33 degrees Celsius, which is 4 degrees Celsius to 5 degrees Celsius lower than the human body temperature. It can be imagined that the male scrotum grows outside the body to stay away from the high temperature inside the body and facilitate heat dissipation. More subtly, the scrotum will contract or relax as the external temperature changes, maintaining a stable temperature by adjusting the distance from the body. Therefore, if the temperature inside the scrotum is too high, it will inevitably affect sperm production. This has been confirmed in animal experiments: in an environment of 45 degrees Celsius, the testicles of rats can cause serious damage within 15 minutes. Some people use various heat sources (such as warm water, infrared rays, microwaves, and hot hair dryers) to radiate onto the human testicle, causing its local temperature to rise to 43 degrees Celsius. As long as 10-15 minutes, the spermatogenic effect of the testicle will stop, and it will take a month to gradually recover.
In clinical practice, it is often seen that various reasons lead to increased scrotal and testicular temperatures, resulting in decreased semen quality, which affects fertility. For example:
① Diseases of the reproductive system, such as azoospermia caused by cryptorchidism (due to undescended testicles located in the groin, with temperatures up to 38 degrees Celsius), varicocele (causing congestion in testicular veins), and scrotal lipomatosis (affecting the heat dissipation of the scrotum, reducing sperm survival and vitality), can all cause infertility.
② Prolonged high fever, paraplegia (the temperature in the patient's scrotum is higher than that of the normal person), and people who work in high-temperature environments (such as working in boilers, steelmaking, etc.) are not conducive to fertility.
③ Some bad habits can easily lead to infertility, such as loving to wear tight pants (especially jeans), often taking hot baths, saunas, and hot springs. Mr. Gu is a typical example.
Therefore, for men who have not yet given birth, are preparing to give birth, or are suffering from infertility, these life habits that are not conducive to fertility should be avoided.
