Whether on television or online, advertising videos for infertility hospitals or male health clinics are overwhelming, and these hospitals are always overcrowded, with a large number of male patients seeking medical treatment, mostly due to sperm health issues. In fact, many men do not have knowledge about sperm and do not know how to improve semen quality.
According to the survey results, nearly 1/4 of netizens are not aware that sperm quality is best between the ages of 20-29, 40% of netizens are not aware that sperm has a special odor similar to gardenia flowers, 11% of netizens are not aware that they need to abstain for 2-7 days before undergoing semen testing, 26% of netizens express uncertainty about the liquefaction time of semen, and about 7% of netizens believe that the normal liquefaction time of semen is 1-2 hours. According to clinical experts, non liquefaction of semen accounts for approximately 20% of the causes of male infertility.
Many netizens believe that radiation can cause problems with male sperm quality, but current research shows that computer and mobile phone radiation has little effect on sperm quality. Guo Jun, director of the andrology department of Xiyuan Hospital of the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences, pointed out that because mobile phones or computers have not been developed for a long time, they do not affect or cannot detect the impact on sperm quality, which does not mean that there will be no impact in the future. As for the future situation, it is still unknown.
However, semen quality is an important criterion for evaluating male fertility. According to the survey results, some men have misconceptions about semen. Therefore, male friends can not only pay more attention to their own health status, but also self check semen quality through some simple methods to provide reference for further medical treatment. 1. Look at how much. The normal amount of semen discharged at a time is 2-6 milliliters, and the amount of semen is often related to the frequency of ejaculation. 2. Look at the color. The normal semen color is gray white or milky white. 3. Smell the odor. Fresh semen has a special odor, similar to that of gardenia flowers. If there is a noticeable odor, consider whether it is co infected. 4. Identify liquefaction. The newly ejaculated semen is in a thick gelatinous state, which usually liquefies within 5-30 minutes, becoming a thin and transparent state similar to water.
The testicles are afraid of heat, male friends must pay attention to this characteristic. To maintain the quality of semen and improve fertility, the first step is to abstain from alcohol, and it is best not to drink alcohol for a period of time before planning to have a child. Secondly, it is important to avoid staying in high temperature environments for too long. Also, it is important to avoid prolonged sitting, preferably for no more than 1 hour, as it may have an impact on testicular health.
The reproductive age of the couple is the key to giving birth to a healthy baby, and the quality of childbirth will gradually decline after the age of 30. Therefore, late childbirth is not recommended. In addition, male friends should ensure a healthy body, maintain a good mindset, maintain sufficient sleep, have a balanced diet and nutrition, and most importantly, change unhealthy lifestyle habits in their daily lives.
