Does high blood sugar in men affect conception?

High blood sugar in men can affect conception, because high blood sugar can affect the secretion of insulin, which in turn affects sperm motility, leading to a decrease in sex hormone secretion, which in turn reduces libido, and men will have fewer or no sperm, which affects conception. When men have high blood sugar, it is best to adjust their diet. In addition, high blood sugar in women can also affect the lubrication of the vagina, causing pain and discomfort during intercourse.

Diabetes is a very common chronic disease nowadays. Some people have problems with high blood sugar in their 30s. If it is not taken seriously, it is likely to cause infertility.

For men, first of all, the activity of sperm is related to insulin. People with high blood sugar will have less insulin, which will affect the activity of sperm and increase the risk of infertility. Secondly, high blood sugar will affect endocrine function, reduce sex hormones, and easily lead to low libido; thirdly, diabetes can cause neuropathy, which in turn affects the tactile sensation of the penis, and also reduces the blood supply to the penis, resulting in weak erections. Surveys show that the rate of impotence caused by diabetes is as high as 40%~60%. Finally, long-term high blood sugar will damage the autonomic nerves that control the bladder and urethra in men, leading to autonomic nerve dysfunction, bladder detrusor or urethral sphincter dysfunction, and thus cause prostate hypertrophy.

For women, high blood sugar can affect the lubrication of the vagina, affect the pleasure of sexual intercourse, and cause discomfort or even pain during sexual intercourse. At the same time, female diabetics are more likely to develop fungal infections and urinary tract infections, which can also affect pregnancy.

If you have been diagnosed with diabetes, you must actively seek treatment, carefully control your diet, and take glucose-lowering drugs regularly. If diabetes is controlled, sexual function can also be improved, and fertility will be stronger. If blood sugar is well controlled but you still can't conceive, you need to consult a specialist if necessary.
