Sperm malformation, as the name implies, means that the head, body or tail of the sperm have become abnormal in shape. A sperm deformity rate of >96% is considered teratozoospermia. Why is the sperm malformation rate so high? This is because sperm are affected by many factors during the process of generation as well as maturation, and the head, neck and tail may all have abnormal morphology, coupled with more stringent testing standards, so the sperm malformation rate will be higher. Therefore, sperm malformation is a normal phenomenon, as long as it is within the normal range that is, there is no need to worry too much. Moreover, there is no clear causal relationship between sperm malformation and baby malformation as reported in domestic and international literature. Because pregnancy is like a “marathon” for each sperm, those deformed sperm are eliminated one by one in the race of “survival of the fittest”, and finally only a very few “elite” sperm with strong vitality and normal morphology can reach the woman. In the end, only a very few “elite” sperm with high vitality and normal morphology can reach the “fertile zone” of women, the abdomen of the fallopian tube, and unite with the egg to produce a healthy baby. Although under a microscope, all sperm look like tadpoles! But in fact, according to biological studies, every sperm is different. According to the WHO guidelines for human sperm work, normal sperm accounts for only about 4%, while deformed sperm accounts for a huge portion, about 96%. I, sperm “look” bad conception difficult – sperm deformity rate affects the chances of conception II, every man has “look” bad sperm fertility normal male, sperm normal morphology rate in greater than 4% medical for normal sperm The sperm of normal shape are characterized and found to have smooth head shape, regular curvature, oval shape, aspect ratio of 1.5, acrosome area accounting for 40%-70% of the head area, and the tail may be bent, but not bent at an angle. Such sperm are the “elite” with the ability to fertilize, and their conception rate is much higher than other deformed sperm. So, is Mr. Wang the only one who has these deformed sperm? In fact, any male with normal fertility will have most of the malformed sperm in his sperm, while the normal form of sperm only accounts for about 4%. Third, is the sperm deformity easy to conceive children deformed? If the percentage of deformed sperm is so high, will the wife give birth to a deformed child when she gets pregnant? In this regard, it is medically determined that the shape of the sperm is mainly related to the probability of pregnancy, and the essence of the sperm (genetic material) is not related, just as the appearance of the person and the nature of the person is not directly related, people look good or not can not explain the health of the person, can not say that the people who look unattractive is not good health. There is also no inevitable link between sperm deformity and whether or not to give birth to deformed offspring. Fourth, how to reduce the rate of sperm malformation? Start by changing your lifestyle! 1, quit smoking and limit alcohol: smoking and alcohol have always been poison for people preparing for pregnancy. There are many factors that affect sperm malformation, of which an unhealthy lifestyle is a key factor. It has been confirmed that alcoholism may damage sperm and increase the rate of sperm malformation, while nicotine in cigarettes also tends to lead to an increased incidence of malformed sperm. It is worth noting that smoking is also a major source of weak sperm. 2, balanced diet: some men think that eating how long can ensure nutrition. In fact, this idea is too one-sided, nutrition comes from a variety of foods, preparing for pregnancy men should not only eat a lot, but also eat a variety. In particular, the trace elements zinc and selenium associated with sperm production and maturation, once deficient, will reduce sperm production, which will lead to an increase in sperm malformation. 3, appropriate exercise: it is best to participate in some sports small, gentle and calm sports, for example, jogging, playing tai chi, etc., so that the mood calm down, and then gradually transition to a large amount of exercise. In order to relieve stress, many people often deliberately choose those large amounts of intense sports, trying to secrete “sweat” in order to release stress and bad mood. As doctors we feel that intense and heavy exercise will not only cause physical fatigue, but also make nervous nerves more tense. This not only does not relieve stress, but also will make the emotions into a worse situation. 4, avoid sedentary, reduce the local temperature: for some long-term wearing tight underwear, long-term sedentary (driving, cycling), love to take a hot bath in the preparation of men, the body temperature is too high will affect the development of sperm. In the period of sperm maturity, it is suitable for the temperature is 35 to 36 ℃, when various reasons lead to the scrotum temperature rise, are not conducive to sperm development. 5. Cleanse yourself and avoid reproductive infections. The reproductive health of men and women is a basic prerequisite for pregnancy preparation. The more common infections that affect sperm deformities are prostatitis, vesiculitis, urethritis, orchitis, epididymitis, etc.
