Male infertility is a common form of infertility, and the cause of this infertility is closely related to men's daily lifestyle, such as daily eating habits. Some bad dietary habits may be the culprit of male infertility and require attention.

What bad eating habits do male friends have that may affect fertility?

1. Often eat fast food

Fast food contains a lot of soy products. Long-term intake of large amounts will show some estrogen effects, thus inducing male reproductive problems.

2. Like to drink coffee

Coffee can also damage male sperm and make it inactive. Therefore, scientists recommend that men drink coffee in moderation.

3. Like to eat seafood

The ocean is polluted by industry, so seafood contains too much mercury, a chemical that is harmful to reproduction.

4. Smoking and drinking

Research shows that men who smoke frequently are three times more likely to be infertile than men who have never smoked; patients with chronic alcoholism will experience testicular atrophy, leading to a decrease in semen quality.

5. Gluttony

Scientists in Atlanta, USA, have discovered that when men overeat, the quality of their sperm will be damaged.

6. Don’t like to drink water

Although scientists have not fully understood how water shortage specifically affects male reproductive health, facts show that men who love drinking water have stronger reproductive capabilities.

What to do about male infertility

If infertility is found, the influence of disease factors should first be ruled out, such as prostate disease, urinary system infection or some systemic diseases, etc., and targeted treatment should be carried out. Infertility factors such as sexually transmitted diseases, alcoholism, smoking, overloaded work, high temperature environment, tight underwear, insomnia, high work and emotional stress are often temporary. On the one hand, sperm quality can be improved by cultivating a healthy lifestyle. On the other hand, medication can be used to improve sperm quality.

Modern society is full of competition and challenges, and the social and family pressures on men's shoulders are increasing.

At the same time, men’s reproductive health is deteriorating. One of the important causes of male infertility is reduced sperm quality. Many people know that too few sperms can cause infertility, but too many sperms can also cause infertility. Experts explained that a large number of sperm does not necessarily mean high quality, because too many sperms will affect sperm motility, and there may be diseases hidden behind too many sperms, which may cause infertility.

So, it can be seen that men must avoid drinking alcohol, smoking, and overworking. They must develop good living habits in daily life, and must maintain adequate sleep and a reasonable diet.
