Men have a lot of estrogen hidden around them. Environmental pollution, excessive meat consumption and bad habits may lead to male infertility. This is a subtle influence, and many "hidden" estrogen around men are involved in this process. You have been surrounded by estrogen. As the old saying goes, "There are three ways to be unfilial, and no offspring is great. Don't you wake up?"?
In recent years, it has been found in clinical practice that the level of estrogen in many infertile men is getting higher and higher, and some are even 2-3 times higher than the normal value. This has become the main factor of male infertility. The increase of estrogen in men is mainly related to environmental pollution, illegal food additives and poor lifestyle.
In order to increase the output of agricultural products, the abuse of pesticides, chemical fertilizers, various pesticides, plastics, rubber products, waste gas, waste residue, etc. in the countryside has brought adverse effects on the environment. In addition to acting directly on human body, these toxic and harmful substances will remain in soil and water for a long time in the form of residues. After the absorption of cultivated rice, wheat and other crops, they will continue to act on poultry and livestock. People are the end of the food chain and can ingest these residues from many aspects at the same time. Because the chemical structure of residues is very close to that of estrogen, the more residues accumulated in the body, the higher the level of estrogen in the body.
Many foods also contain harmful additives. For example, many men like to eat soft-shelled turtle for nourishment. In order to promote the fast growth of soft-shelled turtle, illegal breeders inject them with estrogen or take contraceptives. Similarly, chicken, duck, goose, fish and other animals may be injected with estrogen. The more you eat these foods, the more estrogen you consume.
In addition, men's lifestyle has also changed a lot: you can take a car when you go out, take an elevator when you go in, use a computer when you work, and exercise less at ordinary times. In addition, with the fast pace of life, high mental pressure and poor human resistance, all kinds of diseases will be high. Some cosmetics specially developed for women contain a certain amount of estrogen, and long-term use will also damage male reproductive health.
For men, androgens should play an important role. Once losing the dominant position in the balance with estrogen, it will bring great harm to men of different ages.
First of all, for children, the number of concealed penises (short penises) is significantly higher than before. Although this is related to the increase of "small fat men", it cannot be ruled out that part of it is caused by the increase of estrogen in the body.
Secondly, the rise of estrogen level will affect the development of male puberty, the secondary sexual characteristics are not obvious, and the masculinity is insufficient. For young and middle-aged people, when it comes to marriage and childbearing, men may have sexual dysfunction and infertility due to high estrogen levels. The androgen changes caused by it will lead to changes in testicular tissue structure and may induce testicular cancer.
Some medical experts also said that the above phenomenon is indeed reflected in the whole country, but how much it is and how much harm it is still waiting for epidemiological investigation and research. Male friends should not be too panic.
