Does X-ray have an effect on sperm? The spermatogenic cells in the spermatogenic epithelium of the testes are highly sensitive to radiation. After chronic exposure to X-rays, the number of spermatozoa decreases and the number of deformed sperm increases in mild cases; in severe cases, the testes atrophy. Therefore, x-rays must have an effect on fertility. Sperm deficiency can be caused when the human testes receive an absorbed dose of 100 rads. It takes more than 1 year for sperm production to reach pre-irradiation levels or to be fertile. Men exposed to 500-600Ci will be permanently sterile, while those exposed to 250Ci will be temporarily sterile for 1 year. Some people were irradiated as a result of an accident and the whole body irradiation was later estimated to be 12-190 Ci. Upon examination, the sperm count was found to be within the normal range for 10 days after irradiation; 7-10 months after irradiation, the sperm count decreased significantly until it was zero; and at 20 months, the sperm count returned to normal levels. It must be noted that the recovered germ cells are often accompanied by genetic damage. However, chest x-ray is a common procedure done by doctors to check lung diseases or for health check-ups, and the damage caused by x-ray is mainly due to the quality of the machine and the dose of radiation. Nowadays, the hospital’s radiation machine has more protective measures, and the damage to people is generally very small. The radiation dose of chest fluoroscopy is very small, only once, and the time of chest fluoroscopy is not very long, so the damage to people should be very small. How can abnormal sperm be treated? Sperm malformation, also called deformed sperm, refers to the morphological variation of head, body and tail. Head malformation includes huge head, amorphous, double head, etc.; body malformation includes thick body, fracture, incomplete, etc.; tail malformation includes coiled tail, double tail, missing tail, etc. Sperm deformities are normal, and if specially stained, the deformity rate should not exceed 15% of the total number of sperm. The higher the rate of sperm malformation, the higher the possibility of causing infertility in many men. So, how should malformed sperm be treated? 1, to find the cause, drugs caused by drugs should immediately stop taking drugs, varicose veins of the spermatozoa feasible high ligation, caused by reproductive tract infection, anti-inflammatory treatment, caused by endocrine abnormalities, endocrine function adjustment, patients with testicular sperm abnormalities, should consider surgical treatment. 2, treatment of infertility due to high malformation rate sperm should be based on the causes of malformed sperm, eliminating unfavorable factors (drugs, radiation, high temperature, alcohol, etc.) and treating the cause. If the deformed sperm exceeds 70%, chromosomal examination should be performed, and if there is chromosomal disease, it is difficult to treat. 3, some people in male infertility patients for semen culture, found lyso-urea ureaplasma positive, up to 85%. When there is mycoplasma in the semen, sperm vitality is reduced, sperm density is reduced, and the number of deformed sperm increases. The use of doxycycline, for 2 weeks, can restore fertility. 4, artificial insemination between husband and wife: Peierke density gradient centrifugation method, can be separated from the motility Ⅲ, Ⅳ, the morphology of normal sperm up to 90%, after artificial insemination. 5, Chinese medicine available: turtle plate gum, deer horn gum, gum, purple river carp, cistanches, cuscuta, heshouwu, salvia, Kuncao, etc. made of solid particles, packed into capsules, each time 4, 3 times a day, even 30 times for a course of treatment. It should be noted that deformed sperm is generally considered to be unable (or not easy) to conceive, however, an increase in the rate of sperm deformity only means a decrease in the chance of conception and does not correlate with fetal malformation. How to improve sperm quality? 1. Supplement various vitamins. The vitamins have the role of providing raw materials for sperm, promoting sperm production, and keeping the sexual organs free from attack. Among them, vitamin E is most closely related to the reproductive system and has a variety of roles in preventing the aging of the sex organs, regenerating the empty vas deferens, and enhancing sperm vitality. Vitamin E-containing foods are mostly destroyed during processing, so preparations can be taken, such as vitamin E pills. Other vitamins are rich in popular vegetables. 2, eat high quality protein and arginine food quality protein is the main raw material for the formation of semen. The food containing high protein is lean meat, pork spinal cord, dog meat, beef and mutton, chicken and duck, eggs, fish and shrimp, soybean products, etc. Arginine is the necessary ingredient for the production of sperm, lack of which can occur less spermatozoa. The food containing arginine are eel, black fish, sea cucumber, hoof tendons, soy products, lean meat, etc. 3, less to sauna, steam bath. High-temperature steam baths directly harm sperm, but also inhibit sperm production. 4, participate in more physical exercise. Studies have shown that if men are overly obese, it will lead to an increase in temperature in the groin and damage the normal growth of sperm, which can lead to infertility problems. Therefore, weight control within the standard range can improve the quality of sperm. 5. Avoid the influence of harmful substances. The sperm in the testicles will be affected by other factors such as radiation, harmful chemicals (including pesticides, fertilizers, detergents, paints, etc.) and certain drugs during their production and maturation process and produce qualitative changes. Therefore, men in their reproductive years should try to avoid long-term exposure to a large number of such harmful substances, and do not abuse drugs at will. 6, choose the right time to get pregnant. Generally speaking, it is best not to get pregnant within 3 months to 6 months after marriage, because the male partner for the wedding, has been quite fatigue, the wedding and inevitably smoking and drinking social entertainment to accompany, so that the sperm quality is affected to a certain extent, is not conducive to eugenics.
