Long-term abstinence and sperm quality

We all know that if men and women want to get pregnant quickly, they need to abstain from sex for a period of time before having sex. This helps improve the quality of sperm and increase the probability of fertilization. If men have frequent sex, there will not be enough sperm to ejaculate. So in order to ensure efficient pregnancy, they can only abstain from sex. So will long-term abstinence improve sperm quality?

If you abstain from sex for a long time in order to increase the chance of pregnancy, you will go to an extreme. In clinical outpatient clinics, many men of childbearing age believe that abstinence can not only increase the number of sperm in semen, but also improve the quality of sperm. "This understanding is one-sided." In addition to sperm, semen also contains secretions such as prostatic fluid, so a large amount of semen does not necessarily mean a large number of sperm. Moreover, if you do not have sex for a long time, the grown and mature sperm will not be discharged in time. If they are "held back" in the body, they will gradually lose their vitality, and eventually the proportion of aging sperm in the semen will continue to increase, and the quality of sperm will decrease instead of increase. "Therefore, if you have sex again after a long period of abstinence, the proportion of aging sperm in the first few ejaculations will be relatively large, which is not conducive to eugenics."

So, for men who want to have children, how can they provide the best quality sperm for "making a baby"?

Unlike most women who only produce one egg per month, men produce new mature sperm every moment. Relevant experimental studies have shown that the quality of men's sperm reaches an optimal state on the 5th day after abstinence. It can be seen that moderate abstinence and grasping the time of abstinence can obtain ideal sperm. "After a week of abstinence, the morphology, vitality and quality of male sperm will tend to decline." Men who want to "make a baby" should abstain from sex for 3 to 7 days after having sex before the next "making a baby" according to their actual situation.

1. Give up cigarettes immediately. The sperm motility of men who smoke more than one pack a day is always weaker than that of non-smokers. But after quitting smoking, you should pay special attention not to be anxious, because that will reduce testosterone, thus causing a decrease in sperm.

2. Getting up to urinate at night is a good habit because it is good for sperm production.

3. Fruits and vegetables containing vitamin E and various trace elements can resist germs that damage sperm. Therefore, you should eat more foods containing vitamin E and trace elements. Adding 600 mg of vitamin E per day can improve sperm motility.

4. It is better to wear loose cotton underwear than "Y" shaped nylon underwear, which can protect the scrotum from interference and is conducive to sperm production. Avoid taking hot showers. Do not sit or drive for more than 3 hours a day, because the testicles will be close to the body for too long, which will increase the temperature and affect the production of sperm.

5. If you accidentally get a sexually transmitted disease, it will definitely have a negative impact on the number of sperm. If you find any abnormalities in your genitals, you should see a doctor for regular examinations.

6. Running should be moderate and not too intense. Intense running will reduce sperm motility, so running should be moderate and not too intense.

7. Being nervous and angry are the root causes of hundreds of diseases, including weakening of sperm. Therefore, always keep a happy mood.
