Misconception 1: Eager to get it done
Many couples do not control the frequency of their sex life in order to have children early. In fact, the frequency of sexual life is also one of the causes of infertility. If couples have sexual intercourse too often, the sperm supply is insufficient and the quality is poor, it will affect fertilization. In addition, sperm as an antigenic substance, frequent stimulation of women, will make women constantly produce anti-sperm antibodies, can make sperm agglutination or loss of vitality, directly affecting fertilization. It can be seen that sexual intercourse is too frequent, often contrary to expectations.
Misconception two: blind supplements
In the eyes of many people, some of the food and herbs can help men achieve “Dad”, so many male friends will blindly supplement. The latest clinical research shows that the liver and kidneys of pigs, cows and sheep are traditional tonic foods with different levels of cadmium, which can kill sperm and may lead to male infertility. At the same time, the increased cadmium content in male body organs can lead to mild fibroplasia, which can also cause a decrease in the number of sperm and fertilized eggs are not easy to bed, affecting conception.
Misconception 3: Hot sauna
Many male friends like to steam sauna, hot bath, both clean disinfection, but also to eliminate fatigue, but did not know that this not only sterilization, but also kill sperm. The male expert pointed out that because the male local temperature is 1 to 3 ℃ lower than the normal body temperature, the temperature is too high, will make sperm damage, too frequent hot bath or hot bath for too long will have an impact on the sperm, resulting in testicular cleavage sperm ability to decline. It has been documented that if immersed in water at 43~44℃ for more than 20 minutes for 3 consecutive days, even if everything was normal before its sperm density will drop to less than 10 million/ml, and 3 weeks of time will not slow down. In addition, often live and work in a higher temperature environment, over time will inhibit the production of sperm.
Myth 4: Smoking and drinking do not affect fertility
In the eyes of many people, tobacco and alcohol have little effect on human fertility, especially wine, and many people even believe that wine can create a romantic atmosphere, creating opportunities for human conception. Male experts point out that the direct toxic effects of alcohol on the reproductive organs can lead to physical dysfunction in men. The British researchers said that alcohol can reduce the rate of testosterone production, damage the reproductive endocrine function, resulting in a relative increase in estrogen, due to the reduction of active androgens triggered by the atrophy of the male local organs, affecting the production and development of sperm, the number of sperm decreased, reduced mobility, leading to the occurrence of male infertility, may also induce prostatitis and so on. Similarly, long-term smoking can also affect the quality and quantity of sperm. According to relevant data, the father does not smoke, the incidence of fetal malformations is only 0.5%, 1 to 10 cigarettes per day for 1.4%, more than 10 cigarettes rose to 2.1%. Men who smoke will lead to a decrease in sperm quality and quantity, and a variety of deformed sperm, resulting in the inability to give birth or give birth to children with congenital malformations.
Myth 4: Normal sexual function does not mean normal reproductive function
Male sexual function and reproductive function are two completely different concepts, which are two separate and completely different mechanisms. For example, azoospermia patients have a strong sexual desire, normal erection, normal ejaculation during intercourse, but no sperm in the semen, so they cannot conceive.
Myth 5: A history of pregnancy does not mean that there has been fertility
There have been infertility couples who have been seeking treatment from the female partner for many years, the reason being “my husband has no problem, his past girlfriend has been pregnant many times before” or “my husband had a child in his first marriage”. In fact, infertility is divided into primary infertility and secondary infertility, the so-called secondary infertility means that there was a history of fertility and conception history and now can not make the woman pregnant. The past can be normal fertility, after years of azoospermia is also found in the clinic.
Myth 6: It’s the woman’s fault if she can’t conceive a child
In the traditional concept, infertility is the woman’s “sin”. In fact, about 30% of infertile couples are caused by male infertility. The World Health Organization has called male infertility, along with cardiovascular disease, cancer, depression, and the four major diseases that plague humanity. According to authoritative research, for nearly half a century, the number of sperm contained in each milliliter of male semen has dropped from about 100 million to the current 20 to 40 million, along with a sharp decline in the number of sperm at a rate of 2% per year, the vitality and quality of sperm has also declined simultaneously. The red alert of “sperm crisis” has been sounded to the reproductive health of post-80s men.
Caution
In the past 20 years, human sperm count is still declining at an average rate of 2% per year, and most of these factors are related to the deteriorating environment and poor lifestyle. It has been found that poor lifestyle and behaviors not only affect the quality of sperm in men, but also affect the outcome of patients being treated. Poor lifestyle, that is, inappropriate daily “clothing, food, housing and transportation” of men can seriously affect health. In order to maintain normal sperm quality and its reproductive function, men should pay enough attention to change some bad habits.
1, should not wear tight and dark pants
Men should not wear tight, dark pants, including tight jeans, thick texture, dark pants, or nylon material pants, including “Y” type underwear. These pants are not breathable, easy to absorb heat, can hinder the blood circulation of the testicles, resulting in an increase in local temperature, some men are prone to complications of ringworm and scrotal eczema, indirectly affecting the production and quality of sperm.
2, eat more food containing vitamin E
Men can eat more milk, eggs, lean meat, nuts, fish fat, fish, shellfish, red meat, fresh fruit, green vegetables, cereal germ and wheat bran. This is because green vegetables contain vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc, selenium and other ingredients that are good for sperm growth. Nuts, fish fat and fish are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which are good for sperm cell growth. Zinc is involved in the whole process of sperm production, maturation, activation and energy acquisition. Zinc supplementation can effectively improve sperm density and sperm vitality, and increase the activity of liquefaction enzymes in semen, shortening the time of semen liquefaction. Vitamin E is one of the most important antioxidants and can promote the production of antioxidant enzymes and improve sperm quality.
3, try not to contact radiation items
Radiation, high temperature, heavy metal pollution, car exhaust, chemical pollution and other living environments can also affect men’s health. The chemical substances have hormone-like or anti-hormone-like properties that can affect the human endocrine system and have side effects on the reproductive system, embryonic development and normal reproductive function, so called “environmental hormone pollutants”, the use of these substances in large quantities can have a serious impact on the quality of semen. Heavy metals such as lead, mercury and manganese in the environment also have an adverse effect on the semen quality of exposed workers. Men in life and work must strengthen occupational prevention, pay attention to the use of protective facilities at work to protect themselves, and to develop good habits, such as the correct and reasonable use of cell phones, computers, etc., driving time should not be too long, try not to contact radiation items. Also pay attention to some details of life should, such as not using newspapers and other printed materials used as food packaging, should avoid the bag on the wording, trademark direct contact with food, especially with acidic food contact. Vegetables and fruits should be washed before consumption, and those that can be peeled should be peeled as much as possible to prevent residual pesticides in the lead content. Housing decoration must use environmentally friendly materials, and it is best to wait a while before moving in after the decoration. Try to use lead-free cosmetics, hair dyes, etc. Do not walk near the road with many car traffic, etc.
4, exercise and sex to be appropriate
If you’re sitting and standing for a long time, it’s easy to make the testicular venous blood flow back poorly, stagnant in the blood vessels, causing obstruction of the spermatic vein in the scrotum, and then varicocele occurs. The stagnant blood in the spermatic vein will make the local temperature of the testicles rise, metabolic waste cannot be taken away in time, resulting in the testicles not getting sufficient nutrition. At the same time, the reverse flow of blood from the left spermatic vein brings the metabolites secreted by the adrenal glands and kidneys to the testicles, inhibiting sperm production and affecting sperm quality and quantity.
However, men should not do intense exercise, exercise intensity should be moderate, to not fatigue the best, in the exercise to wear loose clothing, to facilitate heat dissipation. Marathons, long intervals of cycling, etc. can raise the temperature of the testicles and destroy the cool environment needed for sperm growth. Trauma from strenuous exercise can cause blockage of the epididymis, vas deferens, ejaculatory ducts and urethra, the “sperm transport channel”. It is advisable to exercise jogging, walking, taijiquan, eight-danjin, mountain climbing, table tennis, badminton, etc. can be chosen at your discretion, and should be done according to your ability, it is important to be persistent.
The male sex life is not fatigued after sex, different ages, such as marriage age, semen volume or less sperm should not be too frequent, 1 week or 10 days 1 time, semen volume or high sperm density can be appropriate to increase sex life, 3 to 5 times a week. The company’s main goal is to provide the best possible service to its customers.
In conclusion, it is important for men to understand that there are various reasons for infertility, both on the part of the woman and the man. In addition to congenital infertility, many bad habits and living conditions can have an impact on fertility. If men find themselves with fertility disorders, they must not delay treatment. Early detection, early prevention and early treatment are essential. In fact, with current technology and medical treatment, most fertility disorders can be solved and improved. Men should maintain a positive mindset and actively participate in prevention and treatment. In this way, they will be able to fulfill their dream of being a father sooner.
