What is the relationship between lifestyle and sperm quality?

Studies have shown that excessive obesity in men can cause the temperature of the groin to rise, which can damage the growth of sperm and lead to infertility. Therefore, keeping weight within the standard range can improve the quality of sperm. However, the intensity of exercise should be moderate. Vigorous exercise, such as marathon and long-distance cycling, will still increase the temperature of the testicles and destroy the cool environment required for sperm growth. Cycling can also put the fragile blood vessels of the testicular capsule at risk. Therefore, it is recommended to wear padded shorts when riding and choose a bicycle with good shock absorption function.

2. Go to saunas and steam rooms less often

High-temperature steam baths directly damage sperm and inhibit sperm production.

The data shows that 44% of people believe that smoking is the main factor causing the decrease in sperm count, so quitting smoking is imperative.

4. Drink in moderation

Drinking a lot of alcohol can lead to a decrease in sperm quality. Men should strictly follow the recommended amount of 14-28 standard drinks (containing 8-9 grams of alcohol) per day, and women should reduce it by half.

5. Say no to anesthesia

6. Relax your mind

Excessive mental stress also has a negative impact on sperm growth. So men should do something to relax themselves, such as taking a walk, taking a bath, etc., and then enjoy sex.
