Every man hopes to have a healthy and intelligent baby after marriage. The intelligence and health of the baby come from the quality of male sperm. If male sperm is very good, the baby born will be very healthy. If sperm quality is poor, it can cause male infertility and other diseases, and there are many factors that affect sperm quality,
What are the factors that affect sperm quality? For young couples who are preparing to have a baby, they need to have a healthy body. For men, it is important to know the following things.
Other factors affecting sperm quality
1. Automobile exhaust
Living in a big city, all kinds of car exhaust are ubiquitous. The sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, and other substances contained in exhaust gas may increase the incidence of diseases such as tumors. Most importantly, the dioxins contained in exhaust gas can cause changes in the morphology of males' testes, decrease in sperm count, and decrease their ability to produce sperm.
2. Tobacco and alcohol
Compared with non-smokers, smokers have significantly reduced all major indicators of semen quality, increased sperm deformity rate, and increased white blood cell count in semen. Nicotine and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons produced in tobacco can cause testicular atrophy and changes in sperm morphology. Those who frequently drink excessively will experience testicular atrophy.
3. Women's cosmetics
In the lives of young couples, some men will casually use female cosmetics, such as facial cleansers, massage creams, etc. These cosmetics are designed specifically for women, and the estrogen they contain can affect the levels of androgens, trigger changes in testicular tissue structure, cause testicular cancer, reduce the number of sperm in semen, cause male breast development, and lead to endocrine disorders.
4. Medications
Drugs such as anticancer drugs, hormones, and antibiotics can damage male gonadal function, causing a decrease in sperm quantity and quality, or affecting the endocrine function of the gonads, leading to sexual dysfunction. The larger the drug dosage, the longer the course of treatment, and the younger the patient's age, the more severe the damage to reproductive function.
5. Radiation
High doses of radiation can cause changes in testicular tissue structure, increase sperm deformity rate, and reduce important indicators such as sperm quantity and sperm density. There is a great controversy in the academic community over whether the electronic devices we use daily, such as mobile phones and computers, can cause infertility.
6. Drugs
Cherish life and stay away from drugs. Cannabis, commonly found in drugs, can cause a decrease in blood androgen levels and sperm density, leading to the development of male mammary glands; Cocaine can cause a decrease in sperm density.
From this, it can be seen that there are many factors that affect sperm quality. For men who are preparing to have a baby, they must quit smoking, drinking, radiation, and car exhaust. They should stay away from any situation that may affect their health. Only by constantly paying attention to their own health and safety can they conceive a healthy and intelligent baby.
