More Sunshine for Men Makes Sperm Healthier
Australian fertility experts have examined the blood of nearly 800 men with infertility problems and found that nearly one-third of men have below normal levels of vitamin D. Vitamin D plays an important role in improving sperm quality, and sunlight is the main source of vitamin D. According to the Australian News, an Australian study on infertility has found that men who cannot conceive with their partners are generally deficient in vitamin D.
Researchers in Sydney analyzed the frequency of DNA breaks in sperm, an important factor in male infertility, and were greatly surprised by the results. Sunlight is the main source of vitamin D, which helps regulate calcium and phosphorus levels in order to form healthy bones. Annie, a fertility expert? Dr. Clark examined the blood of nearly 800 men with infertility problems and found that nearly one-third of men had lower levels of vitamin D than normal.
Clark, medical director of the Australian Infertility Treatment Center, said, "There is a very obvious situation in these men, which is an increase in the content of homocysteine, an amino acid related to cytotoxicity, in the blood, while the content of folic acid, an important substance in new healthy cells, is insufficient." She said that they simply did not expect such a result. Clark said, "It is surprising that men who agreed to lifestyle changes and vitamin D supplementation in the study have significantly improved their infertility problems. It is well known that vitamin D and folic acid deficiency are associated with infertility in women. However, the results of the tests conducted on men in the study were completely unexpected."
The fertility expert pointed out that the fear of skin cancer caused by exposure to the sun may be the reason why men lack vitamin D. "Due to our findings, it is likely that some people would like to know whether more people have vitamin D deficiency and what impact it has on fertility," she said
Research data released at the Brisbane National Fertility Conference on the 20th showed that 58% of the 794 men tested had a higher frequency of DNA breakage. About 100 men agreed to quit smoking before starting fertility treatment, minimize or completely avoid caffeine and alcohol consumption, lose weight, and increase vitamin and antioxidant levels within three months. The results show that the sperm quality of most people has significantly improved, with 40% of men achieving clinical pregnancy and 11% of men naturally becoming pregnant.
Clark said, "There is no doubt that our research results show that lifestyle changes and vitamin D supplementation can help improve infertility."
Experts analyzed the semen of men with infertility over a period of 32 months
The results showed that sperm with malformed heads were more common in autumn than in spring. This is because in the hot summer, the temperature of the scrotum is high, so in the autumn, this abnormal sperm is released from the semen. The increase in sperm head defects may be related to an increase in scrotal temperature.
The proportion of immature sperm in summer is higher than in other seasons, which is due to the hot weather. However, winter can easily cause defects in the sperm tail of men. Director Zhao pointed out that spring is the season with the highest frequency of sperm tail defects. Sperm with tail defects have poor motility, making it difficult to reach the egg and fertilize it. In general, the highest sperm count occurs in winter, followed by spring; The strongest sperm activity occurs in autumn and winter.
Male sexual desire affects sperm quality
To conceive high-quality babies, it is necessary to start by cultivating high-quality sperm. Prospective dads, have you ever "tested" your sperm quality? Below, Doudou Mom has provided you with a self test standard. Let's test it together!
Wenshu and Weijun have been married for six years. Three years ago, they began to seek ways to implement the "human creation plan", but they have not been able to achieve their wishes. Some time ago, they went to the hospital for an examination and found that the problem was in Manjushri's sperm. The doctor said that Manjusri's sperm quality was not very good, affecting pregnancy. Manjushri couldn't figure out what habits had harmed his sperm?
Doudou Mom knows that the situation of Manjushri is not an individual case, and many prospective dads have the same questions as Manjushri. Next, Doudou Mom will introduce the factors that affect sperm quality, which prospective fathers can use as a self test standard for sperm quality.
