How can men protect sperm quality when preparing for pregnancy?

During the pregnancy preparation period, both men and women should pay attention to their own problems. How can men who are preparing for pregnancy improve sperm quality? What behavioral habits will damage sperm quality?

What habits damage male sperm quality?

1. Love to wear tight pants.

Men are often crazy when they are narcissistic. If men like to wear tight, hard pants, it is possible that the scrotum and testicles are bound, heat dissipation is not smooth, causing the scrotum temperature to rise and reducing sperm motility. In addition, tight pants hinder local blood circulation, easily causing testicular congestion and affecting "sperm production", thus causing infertility.

2. The habit of staying up late persists.

The endocrine system of the human body actually follows the biological clock. Sperm production usually occurs at night. If you do not get enough rest during this time, the biological clock will be disrupted. If this continues for a long time, it will easily cause difficulty in producing semen.

3. Sitting for a long time without exercise all day.

For men who often sit in front of the computer for more than 10 hours, sitting for a long time can easily compress the perineum, which contains testicles, prostate and seminal vesicles. Especially when sitting on a soft sofa, the circulation of the local perineum is blocked, the local temperature rises, and the pressure causes these organs to become congested, which can easily induce inflammation, such as prostatitis.

4. Lots of social engagements, lots of cigarettes and alcohol.

For men, smoking and drinking are not fashionable hobbies. The chromium and nicotine contained in tobacco greatly affect the number of sperm, and the sperm deformity rate is much higher than that of ordinary people. Alcohol also has a direct killing effect on sperm. If alcohol is dripped onto semen, the sperm will die immediately.

5. Picky eating or improper diet.

Many men are too picky about food. If the food they eat lacks the two elements necessary for sperm production, zinc and selenium, sperm cannot be produced and mature. For men who like spicy food, it is easy to have congestion in the reproductive and urinary organs, which will lead to a decrease in semen volume and poor quality.

Men who are trying to have a baby can cultivate high-quality sperm by doing this

1. Exercise to lose weight and keep in good shape.

If a man is too obese, his male hormones will decrease and his female hormones will increase, which will hinder the production of sperm. Therefore, prospective fathers should control their diet, move their legs, and maintain their health by properly arranging outdoor sports, so as to better ensure the pass rate of sperm and make the sperm more combative.

2. Stay away from computers and harmful substances.

Studies have shown that small doses of radiation can affect the development of the body, while large doses of radiation can cause changes in the testicular tissue structure, increase the rate of sperm deformity, and reduce the number and density of sperm. For people like Mr. Zeng who work in the IT industry, they should try to reduce contact with radiation sources as much as possible, and avoid electromagnetic waves, nuclear radiation, and X-rays.

3. Eat more foods rich in zinc.

Zinc is directly involved in the production, maturation, activation and energy 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.
