Smoking, alcohol abuse, and air pollution are all the main culprits affecting sperm quality. I believe many friends know a little about these popular science knowledge. However, with the development of society, there are still some factors that affect the health of male sperm that are often ignored. Andrologists remind that the following three actions are also very harmful to sperm.
Prolonged driving impairs sperm quality
With the popularity of private cars, there are more and more people using cars as a substitute for transportation. Some people will invite their friends to take a self driving trip. However, foreign research shows that taxi drivers, professional drivers, and truck drivers have the most significant decline in reproductive capacity. "If you drive for a long time, the scrotum, including the testicles, is compressed, which is not conducive to the blood circulation and heat dissipation of the scrotum. In the driver's cab, the range of posture changes is not large, and the scrotum is extremely susceptible to excessive heat, which affects the spermatogenic function of the testicles. In addition, sitting for a long time can easily induce prostatitis, and these factors have an impact on the quality of sperm.".
Suggestion: Driving for more than 2 hours continuously can cause a decrease in sperm quality. If conditions permit, it is best to drive for about 1.5 hours to rest, get off and move around for about 10 minutes.
Laptop knee injury sperm quality
A study found that the degree of sperm damage is proportional to the time spent using a laptop computer, and that sperm damage in rats exposed to radiation for four hours a day is more severe than in rats exposed to radiation for two hours a day. Although the sperm's appearance is fine, its internal structure has been damaged. Men who use computers for more than 5 hours a day have normal sperm fertilization ability, but compared to men who use computers for 2 to 5 hours, sperm fertilization function has decreased.
Untitled - 13.jpg Suggestion: Some men prefer to place laptops on their knees. Due to their proximity to private areas, both the radiation from the computer itself and the heat generated by it can be detrimental to sperm health. When using a laptop, it is best not to put it on your knees, and it is best to get up and exercise while working for 2 hours.
Poor sperm quality with mobile phone in pants pocket
"Keeping a phone in its pants pocket can directly affect sperm, a study that has been confirmed by many institutions.". In a study aimed at middle school students, more than 80% of students put their mobile phones in their pants pockets and turn them on for more than 6 hours a day, while 20% of students have more than 10 hours. The most interesting result of the study is that the longer a student spends on the phone, the greater the impact on sperm quality.
Suggestion: Men's mobile phones should not always be kept in their pants pockets. They should be kept in a handbag or satchel that they carry with them. They may as well be taken out and placed on their desks during normal work hours. Even if you need to keep your pants pocket open, don't take too long. You can drink from your coat pocket and change it to reduce the damage to sperm quality.
