Sperm quality is a key factor affecting male fertility, and low sperm motility is a sign of poor sperm quality. Generally speaking, if sperm motility is relatively low, it is likely to lead to male infertility.

Can a man with poor sperm quality have children?

Experts point out that men with poor sperm quality do have certain difficulties in having children. However, if you go to the hospital for examination in time to determine the cause of the disease, and take corresponding measures to improve sperm quality, there is still hope for giving birth to a healthy baby. Specifically, improving male sperm quality can begin by eating more zinc-rich foods. Foods rich in zinc include: shrimp, loach, squid, peanuts, melon seeds, hazelnuts, pine nuts, etc. Men with poor sperm quality can not only increase sperm quantity and motility by eating more of these foods, but are also very beneficial in preventing and treating various prostate diseases.

To improve sperm quality, male friends also need to stay away from these two risk factors, tobacco and alcohol. Men's testicles are quite sensitive to the toxic substances contained in tobacco and alcohol. According to investigations, nicotine contained in cigarettes can kill sperm and reduce sex hormone secretion. If the spermatogenic cells of the testicles are exposed to alcohol for a long time, they are easily damaged and affect the normal production of sperm.

Changing bad living habits in time can also improve male sperm quality. Because, improper living habits can easily cause infection of male reproductive organs. Once the reproductive organs are infected, it will cause changes in sperm motility, severely reducing sperm motility and quantity and causing male infertility.

What causes poor sperm quality?

1. Varicocele: Males suffering from this disease usually lead to reduced sperm motility and local hypoxia in the testicles due to venous blood return failure. In addition, in men's venous blood, if prostaglandins increase, these are the main factors that may cause a decrease in sperm quality.

2. Reproductive system infection: If a man suffers from prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis and other diseases, it will usually lead to a decrease in the zinc, magnesium, citric acid, and fructose content in the seminal plasma, and the PH will also increase, thus affecting the sperm. the quality of.

3. Smoking and drinking: At present, men often have some unavoidable social activities due to many factors. Among them, smoking and drinking are inevitable. However, for men, large amounts of smoking and drinking will cause great damage to sperm, thus seriously affect the quality of sperm.

4. Other lifestyle habits: For example, men’s irregular sexual life, spicy food, frequent sauna bathing, etc. These factors are also the main reasons for low sperm quality.

How to improve sperm quality?

1. Stay away from radiation and harmful substances

It has been established that radiation has a definite impact on human health. Small doses of radiation can affect body development, while large doses of radiation can cause changes in testicular tissue structure, increase sperm deformity rates, and reduce sperm quantity and density.

In daily life, there are many sources of radiation, such as microwave ovens, computers, televisions, air conditioners, mobile phones, etc., which all produce radiation. Therefore, men should try to minimize their contact with radiation sources. For example, do not place electrical appliances such as computers and TVs in the bedroom; do not use electric blankets for heating; and try to avoid electromagnetic waves, nuclear radiation, and X-ray exposure.

Many chemical and biological factors can cause sperm abnormalities or chromosomal abnormalities, such as lead, benzene, xylene, gasoline, vinyl chloride, pesticides, herbicides, anesthetics, etc., which can cause fetal malformations. If you are exposed to pesticides, insecticides, sulfur dioxide, copper, cadmium, mercury, zinc and other harmful substances for a long time, the remaining amounts in the body will generally be basically eliminated 6 months to 1 year after the exposure is stopped, and it is not suitable to get pregnant during this period.

2. Give the "sperm" a stable rear

Among the male reproductive organs, the testis is the "factory" for manufacturing sperm, the epididymis is the "warehouse" for storing sperm, the vas deferens is the "transportation hub", the spermatic artery and vein are the "transportation line" for logistics supply, and the prostatic fluid is the transportation A necessary "solvent" for sperm.

When Wei Zhun's father is "charging into battle" at the "front", if the "rear" is lost, everything will be lost. For example, sexually transmitted diseases such as syphilis and gonorrhea can affect the production, development and motility of sperm, and diseases such as prostatitis, varicocele, and tuberculosis can cause infertility (what are the semen examination methods). If the expectant father suffers from genital inflammation, premature ejaculation, sexually transmitted diseases and other diseases, he must be treated as soon as possible.

3. Don’t dull your “seed”

Sperm have strict temperature requirements and must be below body temperature in order to develop normally. Excessive temperature will kill sperm, or be detrimental to sperm growth, and may even significantly reduce sperm motility and lead to infertility (sperm survival rate Causes and treatments of low blood pressure). According to relevant statistics, a considerable number of male infertility cases are caused by testicular temperature being higher than normal.
