Five factors affect sperm quality. Long-term smoking can easily lead to sperm deformity.

When the mighty sperm army attacks the "unique" egg, only the most energetic, fastest and strongest sperm can be accepted by the egg. But are the most energetic, fastest and strongest sperm readily available? Experts say that it actually takes about three months for sperm to be produced and mature. During this period, some "life minefields" are likely to affect the normal production of sperm, and even lead to the production of abnormal sperm.

Medication: direct adverse effects on sperm

A healthy body is the prerequisite for producing healthy sperm. If the body is suffering from disease, it is likely to have adverse effects on the sperm production process. For example, sexually transmitted diseases not only cause inflammatory damage and structural changes in the reproductive system, but some will also affect the formation of reproductive cells, induce gene mutations, sperm deformities, etc. In addition, while treating diseases, drugs also have some adverse effects on pregnancy. Some drugs have direct adverse effects on sperm, so men in their reproductive period are best to avoid drug abuse.

Smoking, staying up late, drinking... these bad habits will inevitably affect the quality of sperm. Take smoking for example, men who smoke for a long time will have more abnormal sperm and reduce the survival rate of sperm; and long-term alcohol exposure will also bring a lot of "inferior" sperm.

Diet: Toxic substances lead to low sperm count and weak sperm count

Daily diet will also affect the quality of sperm. Toxic substances and trans fatty acids contained in beverages, fried foods, barbecued foods, etc. will affect the quality of sperm, leading to oligospermia and weak sperm. At the same time, we need to be cautious about food safety issues. The heavy metal cadmium and pesticide residues left in food are toxic to sperm. Therefore, vegetables and fruits should be washed as clean as possible to avoid the influence of pesticides and fertilizers. Experts say that if you want good quality sperm, you must first eat regularly and eat high-calorie, high-protein, low-fat foods appropriately. You should also supplement with fresh vegetables and fruits.

Fallout: Cellphone in pocket murders sperm

Electronic products are increasingly used in our daily lives. When we are surrounded by electronic products, we should be alert to the impact of electromagnetic radiation on our bodies. Especially for fragile sperm, a mobile phone that is often put in the pocket and is infinitely close to the sperm's home is likely to affect the production of healthy sperm. Therefore, men who are planning to have children are advised to reduce the time they are exposed to electromagnetic radiation.

Temperature: Hot springs destroy the sperm growth environment

If the scrotal temperature is too high, it will affect the sperm development process and even whether it survives. Generally speaking, 35 degrees Celsius is the most suitable temperature for sperm development. If you often wear tight and non-breathable pants, sit for a long time, or take hot showers or hot springs, it is easy to cause the scrotal temperature to be too high, which can easily destroy the growth environment of sperm or cause too many "dead sperm" and lead to infertility.

Experts say that the entire cycle of sperm production is about three months. If something happens during this period that may affect the quality of sperm, you have to wait another three months. Therefore, if men who want to be fathers are worried about sperm quality, they can go to the hospital for a semen quality analysis.

The golden childbearing age for men is 25-40 years old

Experts say that from the perspective of eugenics, men also have a golden childbearing age. Generally speaking, 25 to 40 years old is the ideal childbearing age for men. During this period, men are more physically and mentally fit, and the quality of sperm from healthy men reaches its peak during this period. In addition, in addition to the internal advantages of the body, men at this age also have other external advantages, such as successful careers, stable finances, rich life experiences, and mature psychological preparations, which pave the way for them to become fathers.
