When it comes to the topic of pregnancy, many people immediately think of women. As the other half of the offspring, the role of men is equally important. The ability to conceive and the health of the fetus are often closely related to the quality of "tadpoles" in the male body.
It is worrisome that in recent years, the quality of male semen worldwide has shown a decreasing trend year by year, which directly leads to a decrease in the rate of eugenics and infertility, and an increase in the rate of infertility. Who moved a man's sperm? In general, this is mainly related to men's sexual abilities, as well as irregular daily routines, excessive smoking and alcohol consumption.
The matter is not so simple. Relevant experts pointed out that in addition to the above factors that may affect the quality of male semen, some people are accustomed to living habits and eating habits, which may also affect the function of spermatogenesis and reduce sperm motility invisibly, hurting male fertility.
Enthusiastic about bathing and sauna
Many men love to take baths and saunas to relax their mind and body, but such high-temperature activities are no different from "killing" sperm. According to fertility experts, the optimal temperature for sperm production and survival is 1-2 ℃ below body temperature, which is below 37 ℃, while the temperature of baths and saunas far exceeds this standard.
High temperature can damage the living environment of sperm, and at the same time, it can easily damage the spermatogenic epithelium of the testes, affecting the production, quantity, quality, density, and motility of sperm, thereby reducing the chances of conception and increasing the rate of fetal malformation.
Countermeasure: Properly control the time of soaking and sauna, preferably not exceeding 30 minutes each time, and the frequency should not be too frequent. At the same time, attention should be paid to reducing other similar high-temperature activities, such as soaking in hot springs, sleeping on electric blankets, and so on.
Long term wearing of tight pants or jeans
Young men prefer to wear tight pants or jeans for a long time. Tight pants often hold the scrotum and testicles tightly together, hindering the heat dissipation function of the scrotal skin, thereby increasing the local temperature of the testicles and hindering sperm production. In addition, tight pants can limit and hinder blood circulation in the scrotum, leading to testicular congestion and infertility.
Countermeasure: Do not purchase overly tight tight tight pants or jeans; Continuous wearing time should not be too long.
Frequently ride racing cars
Racing is a sport that many men enjoy. The handlebars of racing cars are slightly lower than the seats, and when men ride, their center of gravity tilts forward, resulting in an increase in lumbar curvature, causing the testicles and prostate gland to tightly adhere to the seat cushion. After prolonged compression, these two parts are prone to ischemia, edema, and inflammation, which can affect the normal secretion of semen and sperm production, leading to infertility.
Countermeasure: Riding a racing car should not exceed one continuous hour per day; When cycling, a "sponge pad" should be worn to prevent compression of the testicles and prostate gland.
Addicted to computers
Men often rely more on computers than women, and many men enjoy staying in front of their computers all night in their spare time, in addition to working hours. Computer monitors, hosts, keyboards, mice, and peripheral devices at work can emit radiation at various frequencies. The testis is a highly sensitive organ to radiation. If a man is exposed to electric radiation for a long time, the testicular spermatid will be damaged, thus affecting the male spermatogenic function, resulting in decreased sperm quality and even deformity.
Countermeasure: Regular use of computers should be moderate, and leisure time should not exceed 3 hours. When couples have pregnancy plans, they should try to avoid using computers for a long time.
Frequent consumption of legumes
Beans are highly regarded health foods in recent years, but although they are rich in nutrients and high in protein, they have a great killing effect on sperm. Soybeans and their products contain abundant isoflavone phytoestrogens. If consumed excessively, it can affect the levels of male hormones in the body, leading to a decrease in sperm count and even infertility.
Countermeasures: bean foods such as tofu, soybean milk and soymilk should be eaten in moderation, and should be eaten less than three times a week, with no more than 100g each time.
Love to eat barbecue and fried food
Barbecue and fried foods are widely popular among men. While barbecue and fried food will produce "acrylamide" during cooking, this carcinogen will poison sperm, which can lead to less sperm and weak sperm in men. In addition, fried foods generally contain trans fatty acids, which can also affect the secretion of male hormones and have a negative impact on sperm motility.
Countermeasure: Eating barbecue and fried food should be limited, and more formal stalls should be chosen as much as possible to ensure food safety.
Delicious Kidney and Other Animal Viscera
Animal offal is also a favorite of many men, especially so-called "strong sperm" foods such as kidneys, which are also the favorite of many people. But such foods not only fail to replenish sperm, but may also lead to infertility. Experts say that due to metabolic reasons, there are generally varying degrees of residual heavy metal cadmium in the liver, kidneys, and other internal organs of pigs, cows, and sheep. Cadmium will not only reduce the number of sperm, but also cause damage to chromosomes, making zygote difficult to implant and affecting pregnancy.
Countermeasure: Animal viscera should be cooked thoroughly before consumption to reduce the possibility of toxicity; The amount of food consumed should be moderate.
Likes to eat celery
For a long time, there has been a folk belief that celery can improve male sexual function. But in fact, celery not only cannot "aid sex", but eating more can also kill sperm. Experts say that eating more celery in men can inhibit the production of testosterone, have a killing effect on sperm, reduce sperm count, and make it difficult for women to conceive.
Countermeasure: Control the intake of celery; Men who already have problems with fertility should eat less. Seemingly powerful men, the sperm from their original source are actually quite sensitive and fragile. If they are not careful, they may fall into a situation of external worries and internal troubles, and even suffocate their vitality. To save endangered sperm, it is necessary to pay attention to every detail of life.
