How to make the "little universe" inside oneself produce the highest quality and strongest sperm? In this era of rampant electromagnetic radiation and junk food, there are still many things that men can do. The quality of "tadpoles" is in their own hands!
Wear pants carefully
Don't wear too tight pants, and of course, don't wear too tight underwear. Tight pants, synthetic materials, and excessively high temperatures have all been shown to affect male reproductive ability. So find a loose cotton boxer shorts! Additionally, men should not often wear pure cotton underwear to keep their babies "cool". In the evolutionary stage of men, the reason why the testicles are enclosed in the scrotum and "suspended overseas" is very important because the temperature of the testicles can be kept lower than the temperature of the body, so that the testicles can work normally.
Say no to saunas and hot baths
The optimal temperature for male testes to produce sperm is about 36 ℃. If this temperature is reached or exceeded, the production of spermatocyte will be inhibited, and the vitality of the produced sperm will decline. For men who frequently take hot baths, especially those who take hot baths above 40 ℃, there will be varying degrees of decrease in sperm quality.
Sauna, steam room and hot water sitz bath can all raise the temperature of the male scrotum, resulting in the testis being in a high temperature state for a long time. When the testis temperature is higher than 40 ℃ for a long time, sperm motility will be greatly reduced. Especially for men who have not given birth, it is important to reduce the frequency and duration of hot baths and switch to sitz baths and showers.
Monitoring weight
BMI (Body Mass Index), also known as Body Mass Index or Body Mass Index, is a number obtained by dividing the weight in kilograms by the square of the height in meters. It is currently a commonly used international standard to measure the degree of obesity and health of the human body. The ideal index for Asians is 18.5 to 22.9, but recent research by scientists has found that obesity not only causes a high incidence of cardiovascular diseases, but also has a huge negative impact on sperm production.
Overweight and obese individuals not only have lower semen volume (sperm count), but also lower normal sperm count. The probability of obese men having fewer sperm is over 60%, and their probability of carrying abnormal sperm is also over 40%.
Excessive or insufficient fat can disrupt the normal production of sex hormones, which can lead to a decrease in male sperm count and an increase in the percentage of abnormal sperm. If the male body mass index is controlled within the normal range (20-25), it is most likely to produce a large amount of high-quality sperm.
How often is it better to have sex
The testicles in men have been continuously producing sperm, so how to determine the highest quality of sperm during childbirth? Of course, frequent sexual activity and ejaculation can lead to a decrease in sperm count, resulting in fewer sperm that can be selected by the egg for a single entry into the female body. Therefore, it is beneficial and necessary for men to moderate their libido before preparing for childbirth.
Don't drink too much alcohol
Alcohol has a strong stimulating effect on spermatid, which can damage sperm and affect the development of embryos. Long term heavy drinking can lead to decreased male fertility. It has been proved that alcohol can slow down the synthesis of testosterone and affect the normal metabolism of testosterone, resulting in low gonad function, affecting sperm production and semen quality.
Some people in Western countries like to drink too much and often get drunk on Sundays. Babies born during nighttime sexual intercourse are called "Sunday babies". These infants often have weak physical constitution, stunted development, and even deformities or dementia. Therefore, it is best for men to drink less or even no alcohol during the first two to three months of planned conception to ensure the quality of their sperm. If you drink excessively for a long time, it may also cause impotence or sexual impotence.
Do not take medicine indiscriminately
Modern medicine is increasingly developed, and the application of drugs is very common. While drugs treat diseases, they also produce some adverse reactions. According to clinical observations, many drugs have adverse effects on sperm production and male sexual function. The degree of its impact depends on various factors, such as the dosage of the drug, the duration of medication, etc. The sensitivity of individuals is also an important reason.
Determined to quit smoking
In the impression of most men, smoking is closely related to diseases such as lung cancer and heart disease, but little is known that the nicotine in cigarettes is also a major enemy of sperm production when it damages our respiratory system. Nicotine in cigarettes can kill sperm, causing poor sperm development, an increase in the proportion of deformed and defective sperm, and even causing sudden chromosomal mutations in sperm, resulting in genetic changes.
If you smoke for too long and smoke more than one pack per day, it will directly increase the content of thiocyanate in semen, thereby inhibiting sperm motility. The survey found that the longer the smoking age and the higher the smoking volume, the fewer the number of sperm, the higher the deformity rate of sperm, and the lower the motility of sperm. If you are planning to have a healthy baby, it is best to quit the bad habit of smoking 3 months to 6 months before planning to conceive.
