With the increasing health awareness, more and more men are joining the ranks of pregnancy preparation. People are gradually realizing that trying to conceive a healthy baby is not something for women alone, and that men’s responsibility is becoming more and more important. That’s why improving male sperm quality is especially important. Measures to improve the quality of male semen can be two major aspects: adjusting lifestyle and taking medical measures, the former mainly by adjusting lifestyle without the use of drugs or surgery to achieve the purpose of improving semen quality, while the latter requires the use of drugs and sometimes surgical methods to achieve the purpose of improving semen quality. Our principles for treating any disease are the same, i.e. from simple to complex, from less expensive to more expensive, and from non-invasive to invasive. But in reality, although drugs and surgery cost money and take time, people attach great importance to these superficial measures, but often ignore the importance of lifestyle adjustments, not knowing that these non-costly things are more important, as “Zuo Zhuan” says, “Only the instrument and the name can not be false”. And medical measures often need to go to a regular hospital to see the doctor in person, so here we focus on how to adjust lifestyle: 1, adjust lifestyle: 1, hurry to quit smoking and alcohol foreign research shows that smoking can increase sperm DNA damage; increase aneuploidy sperm; tobacco has more than 20 harmful ingredients, they can directly kill germ cells, can also inhibit the production of sperm, affecting male sperm production and affect the erectile function of men. Men who smoke for a long time have high sperm malformation rates, low sperm motility, erectile dysfunction, and high fetal malformation rates. Avoid excessive alcohol consumption. Studies have shown that drinking less than a moderate amount of alcohol has little effect on fertility. So we recommend that couples of childbearing age take a “three month closure” before giving birth! 2, away from radiation and toxic chemicals Modern society, electromagnetic radiation is almost everywhere, such as induction cookers, computers and cell phones, it brings convenience to our lives, but also has a negative side, which is to affect the quality of male semen. Radiation is inversely proportional to the cube of distance, with a 1-fold increase in distance and 1/8 of radiation attenuation, so it is necessary to stay away from radiation to improve the quality of male semen. There are many chemicals in life that affect male fertility; some chemicals can also interfere with the human endocrine system, so these chemicals are also known as endocrine disruptors (EDs), endocrine disruptors (EDs) are mainly atrazine (Atrazine, which is a pesticide), octylphenol (Octylphenol), methoprene DDT, bisphenol A, tetraoxydiphenyl Dioxane, etc., away from toxic chemicals in order to improve the quality of male semen. 3, avoid genital local high temperature and high fever (1) hot bath, less wash point: research shows that the temperature required for sperm generation in the testes of mammals should be less than 37 ℃, if the local temperature increases, such as taking a sauna, or wearing tight underwear for a long time will make the local temperature rise, which will affect the quality of male semen. So I advise all the fathers-to-be to take hot showers and wash less; (2) tight pants, throw aside: tight pants, jeans seem to be the favorite of many male friends ha, but want to be a father, it is best not to wear too tight pants, and of course, do not wear too tight underwear. Too tight pants, synthetic materials and too high temperatures have been shown to affect male fertility; (3) fever to see early, do not carry: high fever may also affect the quality of male semen, some information shows that, such as fever over 39 degrees, some sensitive men’s sperm production may be inhibited for up to six months. Small foreign studies have shown that high fever can affect sperm DNA integrity, and some foreign IVF centers recommend that patients should preferably undergo IVF treatment 2 months after a high fever. 4, balanced diet, how to eat good sperm Some men believe that eating more will ensure nutrition. In fact, this idea is too one-sided, nutrition comes from a variety of foods, and men preparing for pregnancy should not only eat a lot, but also eat a variety. Especially the trace elements zinc and selenium associated with sperm production and maturation, once lacking, will reduce sperm production, which leads to higher sperm malformation rate. 5, control weight, move The latest research shows that exercise helps improve androgens in men and can improve semen quality. Too much or too little body fat can disrupt the normal production of sex hormones, which will reduce the number of male sperm and increase the percentage of abnormal sperm. So if you want to be a father, get moving and keep your weight within normal limits to produce lots of high quality sperm! Walking, swimming, table tennis, badminton, basketball and so on can be, adhere to at least 30 minutes of exercise every day, the effect will certainly be good oh. 6, excessive fatigue to avoid, maintain a good mood is very critical If you are ready to have a baby, the father-to-be must pay more attention to rest ha! Continuous night work, long distance travel, excessive physical labor, strenuous sports, too much concentration and sustained mental labor and other excessive fatigue conditions are not suitable for conception. If you plan to have a baby, you should choose to conceive when both parties are full of energy and in a comfortable mood. 7, cleanliness, to avoid reproductive infections male and female reproductive health is the basic prerequisite for pregnancy preparation. The more common infections that affect sperm deformities are prostatitis, vesiculitis, urethritis, orchitis, epididymitis, and so on. Therefore, all fathers-to-be must be clean and avoid reproductive infections. The main medical measures are drugs and surgery (such as varicocele surgery, etc.), but these medical measures need to go to the regular hospital to find the doctor in person. 1, abuse of drugs is dangerous, fathers-to-be should read more drug instructions Some drugs may affect the quality of male semen and need to be applied under the guidance of a doctor, these drugs are mainly: hormones, such as high-dose glucocorticoids, androgens, anti-androgen drugs, progestins, estrogens, LHRH (GnRH) agonists or antagonists, anabolic steroid hormones (abused by athletes and some young people who want to increase muscle strength), etc. These hormones can affect the quality of male semen, but these impairments are usually reversible. Drugs used to treat hypertension tend to cause erectile dysfunction, especially beta-blockers and thiazides, but most do not affect reproductive function; however, a few may affect fertility. Amphiregulin, which can antagonize androgenic effects in some tissues and impair semen quality. Calcium channel blockers can also cause reversible impairment of sperm function. The reductase inhibitor finasteride, when used to treat prostate enlargement (5 mg/day), can cause a decrease in semen volume, but no impaired semen quality was found when used to treat alopecia (1 mg/day). Cimetidine, which competitively inhibits the action of androgens at the receptor level. Colchicine, which may cause direct toxicity to spermatogenesis. The immunosuppressant cyclosporine A can impair fertility in rodents, but there is a lack of studies on whether it impairs fertility in humans. 2. There are times when a simple procedure can improve sperm quality exponentially! (1) Varicocele, a disease that is caused by obstruction of venous reflux within the spermatic cord, so the spermatic veins begin to tortuously expand, which will eventually lead to an increase in temperature within the scrotum, destroying the environment in which sperm live and causing a decrease in sperm quality and testicular function. Most sperm have reduced motility in this overheated environment and do not have the stamina to complete the arduous marathon task of finding an egg. Varicocele is currently considered to be the cause of male infertility most in need of surgical correction. However, there are many methods of surgical treatment, and the most commonly performed are traditional open surgery, laparoscopic surgery and microsurgical approaches. Most foreign and domestic studies have concluded that microsurgery is the most suitable for infertility and can achieve the best results, just like the difference between inverter and fixed-frequency air conditioning, which can make sperm more comfortable. (2) Is azoospermia really an incurable disease, like many cancers? I remember in the past, in the domestic academic conference, often scholars in the discussion, due to the current increase in private irregular hospitals, these hospitals for the purpose of making money, azoospermia patients over-treatment, causing great suffering to these patients, then although there is no effective treatment for azoospermia, but we, the public regular hospital, at least can tell patients, do not have to be in Continue treatment. This can at least reduce the unnecessary pain and burden on the patient. However, with the rapid development of assisted reproductive technology in recent years, there have been many technological breakthroughs in the treatment of azoospermia in male medicine. For patients with obstructive azoospermia, surgical treatment is now completely curable. The so-called obstructive azoospermia means that the testicular sperm production function is basically normal, but due to various reasons, the sperm discharge channel is blocked. In fact, this surgical technique was available a long time ago, but due to the limitations of the surgical technique at that time, the success rate of the operation was very low, but in recent years, due to the rapid development of microsurgery for male infertility, the success rate of this surgical technique has increased to more than 70%. The success rate of this technique has increased to more than 70%.
