      When it comes to the topic of pregnancy, many people will think of women first. In fact, as the other half of reproduction, men’s role is equally important. Can you get pregnant? fetus whether healthy often and male The quality of the "tadpoles" in the body is closely related.

      What is worrying is that in recent years, the quality of male semen around the world has been declining year by year, which directly leads to a decline in the rate of eugenics and eugenics. Infertility rate rises. Who touched the man? sperm ? In ordinary people's minds, this is mainly related to a man's sexual ability, and it is also related to irregular life schedule, excessive smoking and drinking, etc.

      Things are by no means that simple. Relevant experts point out that in addition to the above factors that may affect male semen quality, some common living habits and dietary habits may also invisibly affect spermatogenic function and reduce sperm motility, harming male fertility.

      Passionate about baths and saunas

      Many men love taking baths and saunas to relax their mind and body, but such high-temperature activities are tantamount to "murdering" sperm. According to fertility experts, the suitable temperature for sperm production and survival is 1-2°C lower than body temperature, that is, below 37°C, and the temperature of baths and saunas far exceeds this standard.

      High temperature will destroy the living environment of sperm and easily damage the spermatogenic epithelium of the testicles, affecting the production, quantity, quality, density and motility of sperm, thereby reducing the chance of conception and increasing the rate of fetal malformations.

      Countermeasures: Appropriately control the time of bathing and sauna bathing. It is best not to exceed 30 minutes each time, and the times are not easy to be too frequent. At the same time, attention should be paid to reducing other similar high-temperature activities, such as bathing in hot springs, sleeping on electric blankets, etc.

      Wearing leggings or jeans for long periods of time

      Young men like to wear tight pants or jeans for a long time. Tight pants tend to stick the scrotum and testicles tightly together, making the scrotum skin The heat dissipation function of the testis cannot be exerted, thereby increasing the local temperature of the testicles and hindering sperm production.

      In addition, tight pants can also restrict and hinder blood circulation in the scrotum, which can easily cause testicular blood stasis and lead to infertility.

      Countermeasures: Don’t buy tight pants or jeans; don’t wear them for too long.
