A new study published in the American journal Fertility and Infertility found that stress can have a negative impact on male sperm quality. The greater the pressure on men, the poorer the quality of their sperm. The reasons for high stress and poor sperm quality may include oxidative stress hormones and glucocorticoids (also known as adrenal cortical hormones), which can affect the poor quality of sperm and testosterone. Excessive pressure can affect the motility, shape, and concentration of sperm.
Men need to quit the four major harmful habits
1. Always wear tight fitting clothes and pants
Tight pants can cause male genitalia to remain in a state of long-term airtightness and maintain high temperatures. High temperatures can cause sperm to lose vitality, seriously affecting sperm quality, which is a fatal blow to sperm.
2. Long term cycling
If a male friend's bicycle stool is too narrow while riding, it can cause heavy pressure on the genitals, testicles, and prostate. Long term compression may cause ischemia and edema, affect sperm production, and may also lead to prostatitis.
3. Accompanied by tobacco and alcohol all day long
Nicotine in cigarettes can lead to a decrease in the sperm content in men's semen and can easily lead to the formation of abnormal sperm; Alcohol, on the other hand, may weaken male reproductive function, cause chromosomal abnormalities, and lead to adverse consequences such as fetal malformations or developmental disorders. Quitting smoking and drinking is of great significance for male health!
4. Excessive mental stress
Modern people generally face enormous life pressure, especially for male friends. Under the dual pressure of life and work, negative emotions such as depression, tension, fear, depression, etc. are more likely to breed. Being too nervous every day can easily lead to endocrine dysfunction and affect sperm quality.
