How to treat the problem of low sperm survival rate?

Male sperm motility is an important factor in determining whether a man can successfully become a father. Currently, among male infertility patients, about 20% of patients are azoospermia, 30% are oligospermia, and nearly 40% are due to lack of sperm motility. You can imagine how serious this is for male friends. In fact, many men have these problems because of their uncontrolled lifestyle. As long as you pay attention, you can effectively improve it.

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.

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.

If you have low sperm motility, you should pay attention to a balanced diet and eat more foods with high melanin content, such as black beans, black rice, black sesame seeds, etc. In addition, you should also pay attention to developing good eating and living habits, eat more fruits and vegetables, avoid spicy food, pay attention to going to bed early and getting up early, and do appropriate exercise, which can help you recover soon.
