What should men do if their sperm survival rate is low?

If men have a low sperm survival rate, it may lead to infertility, so of course they should focus on scientific treatment, avoid smoking and drinking in their daily lives, avoid some infections in the reproductive area, and maintain local cleanliness and hygiene.

1. Avoid smoking and drinking

Tobacco and alcohol have always been poisons for people who are trying to conceive. Studies have shown that alcohol poisoning caused by excessive drinking can damage sperm and increase the rate of sperm abnormalities, while nicotine in cigarettes can also easily lead to an increased rate of abnormal sperm. Smoking is also a major source of asthenospermia.

2. Avoid excessive temperature

For men who wear tight underwear for a long time, sit for a long time (driving, riding), like to take hot baths and saunas, high body temperature will affect the development of sperm. During the sperm maturation period, the suitable temperature is 35-36℃. When the scrotal temperature rises due to various reasons, it is not conducive to sperm development.

3. Avoid reproductive infections

Reproductive system infection changes the composition of semen. Decreases in zinc, magnesium, citric acid, and fructose and increases in pH all affect sperm motility and growth. Therefore, in order to maintain sperm motility, men must maintain hygiene, such as changing underwear frequently and showering every day.

4. Eat more foods rich in zinc.

Zinc is directly involved in the production, maturation, activation and potency of sperm. Therefore, men should eat more zinc-rich plant foods, such as beans, peanuts, millet, radish, and Chinese cabbage; oysters are the best animal foods, followed by beef, chicken liver, eggs, lamb chops, and pork.
