Does liquor affect sperm quality?

In life, many people like to drink liquor, and there are three types of liquor: light-flavored, soy-flavored, and strong-flavored. Different types of liquor attract different people, especially men, who like to drink the most. They think drinking is also a symbol of status, but excessive drinking is harmful to the body. So does liquor affect the quality of sperm?

First, physical preparation. As a woman of childbearing age, you should go to a regular hospital for pre-pregnancy examination and consultation before pregnancy to see if your current physical condition is suitable for pregnancy and whether it is the best time to conceive.

Second, nutritional preparation. Take a small dose of folic acid in the first three months of pregnancy. This is mainly to reduce the occurrence of fetal neural tube defects.

3. Life preparation. Both husband and wife should start to correct bad life and eating habits six months before pregnancy. Do not be picky eaters.

.Diverse your diet as much as possible. Eat more high-protein and high-quality protein foods and more vegetables and fruits. Don't drink alcohol or coffee in the first three months of pregnancy. Quit smoking. Also, be careful not to come into contact with toxic substances and radiation sources. Quit smoking, drinking alcohol, and tea, and prevent colds. Avoid spicy food. And choose

It should be said that drinking a very small amount of alcohol does not affect the quality of sperm, but drinking too much will definitely affect the survival of sperm, because the main component of alcohol is ethanol, which has an anesthetic effect and can quickly enter the various tissues and cells of the human body through the blood circulation, thereby affecting the quality of sperm. If the woman becomes pregnant on the same day, the possibility of producing a deformed baby is very high, causing irreversible effects on future generations. For the healthy growth of future generations, do not get pregnant after drinking.

When the alcohol intake is 1.5 grams per kilogram of body weight, the plasma testosterone level drops by about 25% 10 to 16 hours after drinking, which shows that alcohol has a direct effect on testosterone-producing cells. Spermatogenic cells exist in the supporting network composed of supporting cells, so supporting cells play an important role in the support, nutrition, protection and metabolism of spermatogenic cells, as well as the production, maturation and release of sperm. Animal experiments show that alcohol changes the morphology of the seminiferous tubules (supporting cells + spermatogenic cells), shrinks the tubular diameter, thins the seminiferous epithelium, and is covered with a single layer of cells with the same top without secretory granules. A large number of lipid droplets are aggregated at the base of the supporting cells, and lipid droplets can also be seen at the base of spermatocytes and spermatids. The appearance of lipid droplets may be due to the direct effect of alcohol on the reproductive epithelium, or it may be that the supporting cells engulf the spermatogenic cells at various levels, or alcohol destroys the synthesis of androgens in the supporting cells.
