Did you know that sperm has six fears?

Because sperm is delicate in nature and easily harmed by various "enemies", we must not take it lightly in daily life.

1. Afraid of smoking and drinking

Smoking and excessive drinking are the enemies of sperm. Some men's bodies are quite sensitive to the toxins in cigarettes, especially the reproductive cells in the testicles. Nicotine in cigarettes can reduce the secretion of sex hormones and kill sperm. An Australian chemist said that once men quit smoking, the sex hormones in their blood will increase. A Hungarian medical doctor claimed that the number of sperm in the semen of smokers is less than that of non-smokers, but the number of abnormal sperm is more. If an adult male smokes 30 cigarettes a day, the survival rate of sperm is only 40%, and the sperm deformity rate increases. It can be seen that long-term and heavy smoking is one of the important factors leading to infertility. Excessive drinking can not only lead to reduced gonadal function and inhibit sperm formation, but also cause about 70% of sperm to become underdeveloped and lose vitality, and cause chromosomal abnormalities in sperm, thus leading to fetal malformation or developmental abnormalities.

2. Fear of being hungry

Sperm growth requires nutrients. Some men have a monotonous diet, are partial to certain foods, are picky eaters, and do not like to eat animal foods (such as meat, eggs, fish and dairy products). Over time, this can cause a decrease in the zinc content in the body. The trace element zinc is known as the "factor of marital harmony". Zinc deficiency in men will cause a decrease in sexual desire and sexual function, a 30-40% decrease in sperm count, and even loss of fertility.

3. Fear of "heat"

The growth process of sperm requires low temperature, so the temperature inside the scrotum is at least 1 to 1.5 degrees Celsius lower than body temperature, and the temperature inside the testicles is 0.5 to 1 degrees Celsius lower, otherwise the sperm will die. To maintain this physiological state, the scrotum acts as a "temperature regulator". When the temperature is too high, the scrotum stretches out to expand the heat dissipation area. When it is cold, it wrinkles up to reduce the heat dissipation area, thereby keeping the temperature of the scrotum lower than that of the abdominal cavity. If a man has a hobby of taking hot baths, the temperature of the scrotum will increase, which can reduce the number of sperm and lead to infertility; wearing tight pants such as jeans will wrap the scrotum tightly, making it difficult for the scrotum to dissipate heat, and the local temperature of the testicles will also increase, which is not good for the growth of sperm. Modern medicine is using this principle to find ways to increase the temperature of the scrotum or testicles to achieve birth control purposes, which is an effective family planning measure.

4. Fear of “frequency”

If you have sex too frequently, it can not only lead to impotence, but also reduce the amount of sperm contained in each ejaculation. If there are less than 20 million sperms per milliliter of semen, the chance of pregnancy is very slim. If there are less than 4 million sperms per milliliter of semen, it is almost impossible for the wife to become pregnant.

Five: Fear of "medicine" and "radiation"

Frequent use of sedatives, anti-tumor drugs, mylerin, furan drugs, and hormone drugs in chemical drugs can cause sperm growth disorders, sperm chromosome damage and breakage; large amounts of radiation exposure can also cause sperm chromosome abnormalities. Therefore, men in their reproductive years should try to avoid long-term and excessive exposure to such harmful substances and not abuse drugs at will.

6. Fear of worry

If a couple is at odds with each other over trivial family matters and blame each other, both parties will be in worry and distress all day long. These negative mental states can directly affect the functions of the nervous system and endocrine system, causing disorders in testicular spermatogenesis and even infertility after marriage.
