Why is sperm as thin as water?

If a family wants to have a baby, both the husband and wife should be examined. Whether a woman can get pregnant is not only affected by herself, but also by the quality of the man's sperm. Sometimes the man's sperm is as thin as water. This may be due to prostate disease. Men should go for a checkup in time to avoid affecting the quality of sperm. Men who are preparing to have a baby should stay away from sperm-killing foods and refuse bad living habits. When necessary, they should also use food to replenish sperm.

Why is sperm as thin as water?

Normal male sperm is white and sticky. If it is thin like water, it may be caused by disease. For example, prostate disease or seminal vesiculitis, the sperm fluid does not liquefy and causes watery phenomenon. In this case, it is best to avoid having sex and check whether the sperm is normal after three to five days. The phenomenon of thin and watery sperm may be related to frequent sexual life, or it may be related to male mental fatigue and physical weakness. If this is the case, it is not a big problem and you don’t need to worry too much. Restricting the frequency of sexual life and choosing kidney-tonifying methods can effectively relieve it.

How to improve sperm quality?

This is very important for restoring kidney qi.

What are the precautions for sperm supplementation:

1. Smoke less and try not to smoke at all. There are more than 20 harmful ingredients in tobacco that can cause changes in chromosomes and genes. These harmful mutagens will directly enter the reproductive system through the smoker's blood. For men who smoke more than 30 cigarettes a day, the proportion of sperm abnormalities exceeds 20%, and the sperm survival rate is only 49%. The time of smoking increases in direct proportion to the sperm abnormality rate. Not only that, heavy smoking will also lead to a decrease in male sexual desire and even impotence, and cause a large loss of vitamin C in the body.

2. Exercise more and relax your mind. Excessive mental stress has a negative impact on sperm growth, so men should do things that can relax themselves, such as walking, swimming, etc.

3. Go to saunas and steam rooms less often. High-temperature steam baths can directly damage sperm and inhibit sperm production.

4. Wear padded shorts when riding and choose a bicycle with good shock absorption function.

5. Pay attention to radiation protection. When operating the computer daily, keep a distance of at least 70 cm from the computer screen and at least 120 cm from the back and sides of the computer; do not put the laptop on your lap.

6. Don’t have excessive sex life, as it will also affect men’s physical health and sperm quality.
