Young people of childbearing age, beware! Does drinking alcohol have an effect on sperm?

The health of men's sperm is related to many factors, including diet, living habits, work pressure, living environment, etc. Since we have mentioned living habits, we have to talk about men's drinking habits. Many men are more concerned about whether drinking is harmful to sperm. Let's take a look at the answers given by experts!

alcoholism

Excessive drinking will inevitably cause serious damage to men's sperm, reduce men's sexual ability, accumulate estrogen, reduce androgen, seriously poison the testicles, and hinder male fertility. During the conception process, sperm and egg combine. During this process, sperm needs to release apical enzymes to dissolve the outer membrane of the egg.

Excessive levels of estrogen in men can cause sperm to release apical enzymes before they meet the egg. When they are really needed, they cannot release the enzymes to damage the outer membrane of the egg, which may lead to failed conception. However, even if the sperm damaged by alcohol conceives the egg, it is likely to have an adverse effect on the early development of the fetus and give birth to problem babies. In foreign countries, because couples conceive after drinking heavily on weekends, these problem children are called "Sunday children."

Long-term drinking

Many men drink alcohol for a long time due to work and social activities. Long-term drinking may lead to alcohol accumulation and chronic alcoholism, which can cause testicular atrophy and decreased semen quality. If a man gets drunk, it will take at least three months to recover. Many medical experts also suggest that if a couple has a fertility plan, it is best for the man not to drink alcohol. If the sperm quality is poor due to excessive alcohol, it will take at least three months for the wife to conceive. During this period, the wife can take Yuzhiyuan tablets to regulate the sperm and restore sperm health, which will help ensure the health of the fetus.

Drinking a little alcohol

The main component of alcohol is ethanol. Drinking too much alcohol will cause brain anesthesia. At the same time, alcohol can enter the body's tissues and cells through the blood circulation and affect the body. However, drinking a small amount of alcohol is good for the body, and drinking a very small amount of alcohol does not affect the quality of sperm.
