10 bad habits cause male infertility

　　The culprit 1. Smoking and drinking

　　The longer you smoke, the more you smoke, sperm The smaller the number, the higher the deformity rate, and the sperm motility is also significantly reduced. This is because the chromium contained in tobacco has a strong killing effect on sperm, while nicotine and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons can cause changes in sperm morphology. Alcohol also has direct lethality to sperm. If alcohol is dropped onto semen, the sperm will die immediately. Therefore, men who drink alcohol have a higher rate of abnormal sperm and dead sperm.

　　Expert advice: Long-term smoking and heavy drinking can cause damage male Sexual and reproductive functions are undeniable facts. This kind of damage not only affects oneself, but may also affect others. healthy , especially the wife and children. Caring for your family is best started by quitting smoking and drinking less.

　　Culprit 2: Improper diet

　　“Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. ”Diet provides food and clothing, but improper diet may also lead to infertility. Eating too much spicy food can easily cause congestion in men's reproductive and urinary organs, which will reduce the amount of semen and change its quality. If you are picky about what you eat, the food lacks two elements that are necessary for the production of sperm - zinc and selenium. Without soil and nutrients, sperm cannot be produced and mature.

　　Expert advice: Nutrition advocates a balanced diet, that is, don’t be picky or picky eaters. These foods contain vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin A, zinc, etc., which can improve the quality and quantity of sperm.

　　The third culprit is radiation.

　　Sperm are afraid of electromagnetic field radiation. Radio waves, microwaves, infrared rays, ultraviolet rays, ultrasound, and lasers can all affect male spermatogenesis. Such as mobile phones, computers, etc.

　　Expert advice: To be on the safe side, it’s better to minimize contact. When men are not using their phones, it is best to keep them away from "sensitive" parts of the body.

　　The fourth culprit is mental stress.

　　Fierce social competition and long-term mental stress are one of the main culprits leading to male infertility. Mental stress can easily lead to endocrine disorders. because nerve The endocrine system plays an important role in the reproductive process, and any disturbance in neuroendocrine balance may adversely affect reproductive function.

　　Expert advice: For example, some couples calculate the right time for insemination but do not get pregnant, but they become pregnant inadvertently.； some people are there Hospital During artificial insemination, the sperm count on that day is lower than usual. Of course, not everyone is like this, which means that people who are prone to mental stress will have an impact on reproductive function.

　　Culprit 5: Pants that are too tight

　　Tight, stiff pants are a man’s worst enemy. Excessive tightness will cause restraint on the scrotum and testicles. Coupled with poor air permeability and poor heat dissipation, it will cause the scrotal temperature to rise and reduce sperm motility. In addition, these pants hinder local blood circulation and are not conducive to venous blood return. They can cause testicular blood stasis and affect "sperm production", so they may cause infertility.

　　Expert advice: From the perspective of reproductive health, in order to protect a good growth environment for sperm, men of childbearing age should try to wear loose and hanging underwear, especially in summer, to ensure that the testicles are cool and comfortable.

　　Sixth culprit: staying up late

　　The human biological clock controls human endocrine, and studies have shown that endocrine is strong at night. The same is true for spermatogenesis. Spermatogenesis mainly occurs at night. If you don't get rest, your biological clock will be disrupted. If this continues for a long time, endocrine disorders may easily cause difficulty in the production of semen.

　　Expert advice: For people who often stay up late using the computer, it is recommended to adjust their work and rest schedule three months before preparing for insemination to maintain optimal health.

　　The seventh culprit is sitting for long periods of time

　　After sitting for a long time, the perineum is compressed. There are testicles in the perineum and seminal vesicles in the prostate. Especially when sitting on a soft sofa, the local circulation of the perineum is blocked, the local temperature increases, and the compression makes these organs congested, which can easily induce inflammation, such as prostatitis . With inflammation, semen quality will naturally be affected.

　　Expert advice: Change your sitting position frequently. People who drive frequently should pay attention to chronic prostatitis and reduce the occurrence of holding urine.

　　Culprit 8: high temperature

　　Sperm are particularly sensitive to high temperature environments. Under normal physiological conditions and environments, the scrotal temperature is required to be at least 3°C ​​lower than the body temperature, and the temperature of the testicles and epididymis located in the scrotum is also significantly lower than the body temperature. If the temperature of the scrotum, testicles and epididymis is increased, it may cause obstacles to the production and maturation of sperm.

　　Expert advice: Men should try to avoid staying in high temperature environments for too long. It is recommended not to soak in hot springs for too long.

　　Culprit 9: Chemicals

　　In recent years, scientists have suspected that phosphophthalates, which are widely used as plasticizers in products, can interfere with human endocrine function, especially reproductive function, causing male sperm to decrease in number, have low motility, and have abnormal morphology. It will enter the skin of pregnant women and harm the reproductive system of their future baby boys.

　　Expert advice: Reduce the use of daily necessities such as food packaging bags, vinyl flooring, wallpaper, soap and shampoo that contain this chemical.

　　Culprit 10: Environmental pollution

　　Although the economy is developing, the damage to the environment is becoming more and more serious. Water pollution, air pollution, noise pollution, etc. all affect human health.

　　Expert advice: Stay away from car exhaust and noise. Although short-term exposure does not necessarily cause illness immediately, repeated exposure causes harmful toxins to accumulate in the body, which gradually attacks our skin and organs. Reduced reproductive capacity is one example.
