Sperm quality after sex the next day

The quality of a man's sperm is related to his physical condition. If we want to improve the quality of sperm, we need to let men strengthen their exercise and correct their bad habits, and then have sex during the ovulation period of women. If a man has sex today and then the next day, the sperm content may decrease, but it will not affect the quality of sperm. Unless a man has excessive sex, the quality of sperm will decrease.

Sperm quality after sex the next day

In fact, some infertility problems arise because men are not actively prepared to provide high-quality sperm. As early as thousands of years ago, the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine put forward the idea that "the sage does not treat the disease before it occurs, but treats the disease before it occurs", emphasizing prevention, that is, taking various measures to prevent the disease before it occurs. Therefore, in order to increase the chance of natural conception, you should prepare in advance and actively conserve your energy.

First of all, you need to prepare for pregnancy. The sperm production cycle of men is about 70 days, so it is more reasonable to prepare for pregnancy within 3 to 6 months. In order to improve sperm quality, men should try to avoid smoking and drinking during this period, because the harmful substances in them will affect male sperm production and have a great adverse effect on the development of the fetus. At the same time, you should also avoid occupational hazards and try to avoid contact with harmful substances such as lead, mercury, benzene, nickel, ammonia, radiation, isotopes, electromagnetic waves, etc. Eat more vegetables and fruits on weekdays to supplement adequate vitamins; you can eat some seafood such as oysters to supplement sufficient trace elements such as zinc.

Sexual frequency and sperm quality

Some people also asked the doctor: "Why do we have to abstain from sex for 3 to 5 days before testing the semen? I have come here with great difficulty, so I will just collect some today."

These two questions have different focuses, but the essence is the same, that is, does the number of sexual intercourse (ejaculation frequency) affect the quality of semen? As we all know, after sperm is produced in the testicle, it enters the epididymis. Almost half of them will age, decompose, and be absorbed before reaching the cauda epididymis. Normally, mature sperm stored in the cauda epididymis account for 70% of the entire reproductive tract, only 2% are stored in the vas deferens, and the rest are stored in the vas deferens. Although the seminal vesicle is not a sperm storage depot, a small amount of semen will flow into the seminal vesicle during sexual rest and bring sperm in. The longer the abstinence period, the more sperm will be stored in it. Sperm reaches maturity in the epididymis and acquires the motility necessary for fertilization. Therefore, this environment of the epididymis is still beneficial to the survival of sperm. However, sperm cannot survive indefinitely and will gradually age and lose vitality during the storage process.

Black spots may appear in the cytoplasm of the sperm head, and the head may be completely colored or completely uncolored. With the number of ejaculations, a dynamic balance will be formed between the disintegration of aging sperm in the epididymis and the production of new mature sperm, maintaining a certain reserve. When sexual life is suspended for a long time, sperm will first lose the ability to fertilize, then lose motility, and finally disintegrate in the vas deferens. As a result, the quality of semen decreases, that is, the proportion of aging sperm will continue to increase. For example, after a couple is separated and abstains from sex for a long time, the semen ejaculated in the first few times will inevitably contain more aging sperm. The aging sperm has a reduced fertilization ability due to changes in the acrosome. If fertilization occurs, the changes in chromosomes and DNA content will easily affect the development of the fetus's central nervous system, causing mental retardation, deformity, or miscarriage. Therefore, from the perspective of increasing the chance of conception, abstinence for too long is not beneficial. Moreover, if the number of sexual intercourse is too infrequent, the chance of sperm and egg meeting is also less, which is not beneficial for infertile patients.

Having sex every day may not necessarily improve sperm quality

Being a father means more responsibility and more worries. But no matter what, it is still the dream of most men. According to a recent report by the BBC, a new Australian study found that having sex every day can improve the quality of male sperm and help some infertile couples have a baby. However, hospital doctors are skeptical about this. "Sperm production is regular. If it is discharged too frequently, it will reduce its overall strength and be detrimental to conception."

The study was conducted by an IVF service in Sydney, Australia, after investigating 42 men with defective sperm. The researchers conducted two tests: first, the men were asked to abstain from sex for three days, and then their sperm status was tested. Secondly, they are required to have sex every day within a week and have their sperm status tested. The results showed that after 3 days of abstinence, the level of sperm defects in these people was 30.8%. After frequent sexual intercourse, the number of defective sperm in the semen dropped significantly. Among them, 37 men had a 12.8% reduction in sperm defect levels. Andrology experts from the University of Sheffield in the UK pointed out: "If you have sex every day, the sperm will not stay in the male body for too long, which also means that they will be more 'fresh'."

In fact, the quality of sperm will not be affected by having sex every other day. Medical experts have also found that having sex every day does not necessarily guarantee good sperm quality. On the contrary, frequent sexual intercourse will lead to a decrease in the number of defective sperm in the semen. We must understand such knowledge. Having the correct knowledge will also be of certain help in fertility.
