Does drinking alcohol affect sperm survival rate?

Sperm is a type of reproductive cell unique to men. The function of sperm is to make women pregnant and give birth to offspring. However, the health of sperm has a great impact on the next generation, and the health of sperm is affected by many factors. For example, drinking alcohol may cause serious damage to sperm, causing the quality of sperm to decline. Let's take a look at whether drinking alcohol affects the survival rate of sperm.

Fertility requires the male's sperm to meet and combine with the female's egg. The quality of sperm of men who drink alcohol for a long time is more obvious. Especially for men with alcoholism, 56% have infertility symptoms. So drinking does have an impact on sperm, and long-term drinking is also one of the causes of male infertility.

Many male friends think that drinking a small amount of alcohol on a regular basis is generally not a big problem, and if it is properly controlled before preparing for childbirth, there should be no effect. In fact, this idea is completely wrong, because the impact of this unhealthy lifestyle on the body is phased, and it does not mean that you can have high-quality sperm immediately after stopping drinking.

Long-term alcohol drinkers are prone to chronic alcohol poisoning. Once chronic alcohol poisoning occurs, the patient will experience testicular atrophy, which leads to a decrease in semen quality. Studies have found that it takes at least three months of conditioning to recover to the state before being drunk.

In addition, years of drinking will lead to an increase in the rate of sperm deformity, which requires timely treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the kidneys are responsible for reproduction, and reproductive dysfunction should be treated with kidney-tonifying and sperm-benefiting methods in traditional Chinese medicine. If accompanied by symptoms such as irritability, dry mouth, yellow urine, and constipation, you can take Junshan's second-generation selenium-rich concentrated Liuwei Dihuang Pills for conditioning. Generally, two or three courses of treatment are required to significantly improve sperm quality and enhance men's spermatogenesis.

It should be said that drinking very small amounts of alcohol will 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 giving birth to a deformed baby is very high, causing irreparable damage to future generations.

In the modern social environment, everyone pays attention to material life. Men are under great pressure. In addition to working hard during work hours, they also have more and more social activities at noon and in the evening. Drinking is inevitable for social activities, but drinking is so harmful to male sperm. Therefore, male friends are reminded to avoid or reduce drinking no matter what when preparing to have a baby.
