Recently, Sohu.com conducted a week-long survey on male sperm health and published the 2012 Chinese Male Sperm Quality Survey White Paper.

According to the survey results, nearly a quarter of netizens do not know that sperm quality is best between the ages of 20 and 29, 40% of netizens do not know that sperm has a special smell similar to gardenia, and 11% of netizens do not It is known that abstinence is required for 2-7 days before semen examination. 26% of netizens said they were unclear about the liquefaction time of semen. About 7% of netizens believed that the normal liquefaction time of semen is 1-2 hours. According to clinical expert estimates, semen liquefaction syndrome accounts for approximately 20% of the causes of male infertility.

Many netizens believe that radiation can cause problems with male sperm quality, but current research shows that radiation from computers and mobile phones has basically no impact on sperm quality. Director Guo Jun of the Andrology Department of Xiyuan Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences pointed out that because mobile phones or computers have not been developed for a long time, they do not affect or cannot detect the impact on sperm quality now. This does not mean that there will be no impact in the future. As for what will happen in the future, It's still unknown.

However, Guo Jun told reporters that semen quality is an important criterion for evaluating male fertility. According to the survey results, some men have misunderstandings about semen. Therefore, in addition to paying more attention to their own health, male friends can also self-check the quality of semen through some simple methods to provide reference for further medical treatment. 1. How much to see. The normal amount of semen discharged at one time is 2-6 ml, and the amount of semen is often related to the frequency of ejaculation. 2. Look at the color. Normal semen color is off-white or milky white. 3. Smell. Fresh semen has a special smell, similar to the smell of gardenia. If there is an obvious odor, consider whether there is co-infection. 4. Identify liquefaction. Freshly ejaculated semen is in a thick jelly state and will generally liquefy in 5-30 minutes, becoming a thin, transparent and water-like state.

Zhang Zhichao, deputy chief physician of the Andrology Center of Peking University Hospital, said that the testicles are afraid of heat, and male friends must pay attention to this characteristic. To maintain the quality of semen and improve fertility, you must first abstain from alcohol. It is best not to drink alcohol for a period of time before planning to have a child. Secondly, avoid staying in a high temperature environment for too long. Also be careful not to sit for long periods of time, preferably no more than 1 hour, otherwise it will have an impact on testicular health.

Zhang Zhichao believes that the childbearing age of a couple is the key to conceiving a healthy baby. The quality of childbirth will gradually decline after the age of 30, so late childbirth is not recommended. In addition, male friends must ensure a healthy body in daily life, maintain a good mentality, maintain adequate sleep, have a balanced diet, and the most important thing is to change bad living habits.
