The quality of sperm in men’s bodies has a profound impact on their physiological health. Many unhealthy habits can inhibit sperm production. Let’s take a look at the daily behaviors that are prone to sperm killing:
- Long distance cycling can cause the scrotum to be in a compressed state for a long time, which not only affects the secretion of the prostate and seminal vesicles, but also makes the testicles more susceptible to long-term ischemia and damage.
- Sperm prefer a cool environment, and when the local temperature rises, the formation of sperm will be affected. If the temperature of a hot bath or sauna exceeds 38 ℃, it can continuously inhibit sperm production for more than 6 months.
- Obesity has the following effects on sperm production: firstly, obese individuals are more likely to convert testosterone, which affects sperm production; Secondly, an excessively thick fat layer can increase the temperature of the scrotum and affect sperm motility. Therefore, weight loss is imperative.
- Long term drinking and smoking can cause symptoms such as testicular atrophy and decreased libido, and the probability of producing abnormal sperm increases almost exponentially. Additionally, the number and vitality of semen will significantly decrease.
- Sitting for a long time will affect the temperature regulation in the reproductive organs, which will reduce the secretion of testosterone, and then cause the decline of sperm secretion, which will eventually affect the male fertility. Therefore, it is important to consciously get up and move around every hour.
