The "two-child" policy is like a fiction to you

After the “second child” policy was relaxed, Mr. Sun and his wife had been planning to have a second baby. A while ago, they finally went to the hospital for a pre-pregnancy check-up. However, the results showed that Mr. Sun’s sperm count had decreased. After further examination, it was found that Mr. Sun suffered from varicocele, which was the cause of oligospermia.

The couple were very puzzled by the result. They were clearly healthy when their first child was born, and it has only been a few years. What happened?

After further communication with the doctor, Mr. Sun found that although he did not smoke or drink, because he was a "technical ape", staying up late and sitting for long periods of time were commonplace. In addition, he had less exercise in the past two years, all of which were likely to cause varicocele.

For adult men, 70 million to 150 million sperms are produced every day, but the health of sperm is easily disturbed by various factors. Once damaged, it will affect male fertility.

In recent years, the number of men suffering from oligospermia and asthenospermia has increased day by day. Men must pay attention to the following 8 factors that harm sperm health~

Obesity can harm sperm health

A study by the World Health Organization found that obese men had reduced testicular function and significantly lower sperm counts compared to men of normal weight.

Varicose veins can affect sperm count

Varicose veins can cause local testicular temperature to rise and vasoactive substances to increase, thus affecting testicular spermatogenesis.

Long-term mobile phone use affects sperm count and motility

Studies have found that men who use their mobile phones for more than 4 hours a day have a significant decrease in sperm count, and their activity and morphology also deteriorate significantly.

Laptops can also kill sperm

When a laptop is running, the maximum internal temperature can reach over 70 degrees Celsius. Placing the laptop on your legs to work for a long time will increase the temperature of the scrotum by nearly 3 degrees Celsius, which may lead to a decrease in sperm count.

Pay attention to the temperature and time when taking a bath

The testicles need to be cooler than other parts of the body to work properly, and high temperatures will affect the number and activity of sperm. Some experts believe that when the testicular temperature exceeds 36.67 degrees Celsius, sperm production will stop, and the negative effects on sperm will last for several months. Studies have shown that soaking in a jacuzzi or hot tub for 30 minutes will temporarily reduce the number of sperm produced.

A high fever also reduces sperm concentration.

Studies have shown that when men have a high fever, their sperm concentration decreases by 35%.

Wearing tight underwear often will affect sperm production

The tighter the underwear is, the worse it is for sperm production. When the scrotum is tightly wrapped in a narrow space, there is a lack of air circulation, the temperature rises, which is detrimental to sperm production.

Smoking and drinking are harmful to sperm health

Excessive smoking and drinking can damage reproductive and sexual functions. Excessive drinking can affect sperm quality and hinder sperm production, while smoking can damage sperm motility and even sperm DNA, and increase the risk of erectile dysfunction.
