How much do you know about "death from exhaustion"

Isn’t “death from exhaustion” a rumor? Could it be true? Regardless of whether it is true that people die from exhaustion, excessive indulgence in sexual activities can cause great harm to the human body. While we pay attention to quality, we also need to pay attention to the quantity of sperm.

Some netizens asked: Can death from exhaustion really happen? In fact, regardless of whether death from exhaustion happens or not, excessive indulgence is also a form of self-harm. Men should not "indulge in pleasure" just for the sake of momentary pleasure, otherwise it will leave behind many health problems.

Is it a rumor or a fact?

A netizen asked this question: Can men really die of exhaustion? So we asked an expert to give some advice and answer your questions!

The main components of seminal plasma in semen are protein and various enzymes, as well as inorganic and organic salts containing a variety of chemical elements. These substances can be continuously replenished by the food we eat every day. As long as the nutrition is normal and the body functions normally, they will not be deficient. A normal man only discharges 3 to 5 ml of semen each time, of which seminal plasma accounts for more than 90%. The secretion and replenishment of seminal plasma is very rapid, but the production of sperm takes a long time (the cycle is about 3 months).

Clinical studies have shown that during continuous ejaculation, only the first 1 to 2 ejaculations contain more sperm, while the amount decreases or even disappears thereafter. In other words, only the prostatic fluid and the secretion of the bulbourethral gland are discharged, which do not contain sperm. If ejaculation is continuous, it is often the contraction of the ejaculatory duct that produces the pleasure, without the discharge of semen. This is a self-regulating function of the human body and also a self-protection function.

Since continuous ejaculation actually stops the ejaculation of semen, there is no such thing as "death from exhaustion" for men.

Some people have observed that as long as a normal man is in good health and has regular diet and rest, his semen can be replenished to the normal range within 1 to 2 days after ejaculation. It is precisely because of this supplementation rule that clinicians often instruct patients undergoing semen analysis to refrain from ejaculation within 3 to 5 days when semen sampling is performed in order to keep semen at normal levels and ensure accurate test results.

From the above situation, it can be seen that semen will not be exhausted, and normal semen discharge will not cause kidney deficiency. However, it must be pointed out that no one can violate the laws of their own physiological activities, and excessive indulgence will harm the body.

If you are still afraid, then increase your sperm count

Only a healthy body can increase the number of sperm. The following suggestions from experts at Beijing Tongji Men's Hospital will be helpful to you.

1. Take more exercise:

If a man is too obese, the temperature in the groin will increase, which will damage the growth of sperm and lead to infertility. Therefore, it is particularly important to control your weight within the standard range, but the intensity of exercise should be moderate.

2. Say no to anesthetics:

Anesthetics, drugs, etc. are also extremely harmful to sperm, and the effects can last for a long time.

3. Relax your mind:

Excessive mental stress also has a negative impact on sperm growth. Therefore, men should do something to relax themselves, such as taking a walk, taking a bath, etc., and then enjoy sex life.

4. Eat more green vegetables:

Green vegetables contain vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc, selenium and other ingredients that are beneficial to sperm growth. Nuts and fish are rich in fatty acids and should be eaten more often, which can help improve sperm quality.

Excessive indulgence is very harmful

Although men will not die of exhaustion, excessive indulgence in sexual activity can still cause great harm to the human body.

The importance of zinc to the human body is self-evident. It has been determined that the zinc content in each milliliter of semen is as high as 150 micrograms, which is unmatched by any other body tissue. If we assume that 2 to 6 milliliters of semen are consumed during each sexual activity, 300 to 900 micrograms of zinc can be lost during one sexual intercourse. You should know that the total amount of zinc in the body of a 60 kg man is only about 1.5 grams. Excessive indulgence will lead to serious zinc deficiency!

Semen also contains an antibacterial substance comparable to penicillin - semen plasmin. Sperm plasmin is a protein with unique functions that can kill Staphylococcus, Streptococcus and other pathogens by preventing the synthesis of ribonucleic acid. If too much semen is consumed, it will inevitably give bacteria and viruses an opportunity to take advantage, opening the door to the invasion of certain diseases, especially infectious diseases.

What is considered a moderate sex life? This depends on factors such as the length of marriage, the physical condition and age of the couple. For example, for young people, 3 to 4 times a week is more appropriate. Middle-aged people 1 to 2 times a week. However, frequency is not the only criterion for whether or not one indulges in sexual activity; the feeling the next day is the most important.
