1, acquired factors of infertility
This is a data that has to be shocking. Infertility has become a national problem. Why did infertility soar four times in 20 years? "At present, 70% of female infertility and 50% of male infertility are caused by acquired bad habits." This may give the best answer.
"In addition to uncontrollable congenital factors and unexplained infertility, in fact, many acquired factors can prevent infertility." Director Chen Huiqiong, an expert in reproductive medicine, reminded that in addition to the three reasons mentioned above, there are still many living habits in daily life that unconsciously affect people's reproductive health. With the coming of winter, director Chen Huiqiong listed several winter habits that are easily overlooked, in order to warn everyone not to let bad habits become a stumbling block on their breeding road.
1. Hot springs are good, but don't soak them often.
Many people have a hobby of soaking in hot springs. In the clinic, a couple went to the hot spring for almost a month 10 day. As we all know, this hobby has caused the couple not to be pregnant for three years. After examination, it was diagnosed that his wife, Ms. Luo, suffered from severe salpingitis and pelvic inflammatory disease, which led to pelvic and fallopian tube adhesion and infertility. Her husband, Mr Zhang, suffers from oligospermia. At the doctor's suggestion, a few days ago, they all gave up their hot spring addiction and actively cooperated with the treatment plan given by Director Chen Huiqiong.
When it's cold, friends and colleagues like to get together in hot springs for three or five days. "Hot springs" have become hot spots in winter, and tickets for major hot springs have also risen. Director Chen Huiqiong said that although bathing in hot springs in winter is a great enjoyment, don't indulge in it and cause unnecessary trouble. She mentioned that frequent hot springs are harmful to the reproductive health of both men and women. When the temperature in the hot spring drops below 40℃, it is easy to breed bacteria, or soak in the same hot spring with women with gynecological diseases, and the fragile female reproductive tract is easy to be infected, resulting in inflammation, salpingitis and pelvic inflammatory disease. , leading to female infertility.
Chen Huiqiong also reminded that men often soak in hot springs, which will have a negative impact on sperm quality. She said that the best temperature for male testicles to "produce" sperm is 35℃, and the temperature in hot springs is often very high. When the testicular temperature rises above 37℃, it will inhibit sperm production, lead to the decline of male sperm quality and affect fertility. Therefore, men and women who like to soak in hot springs should be careful not to soak "often" to avoid falling into infertility.
2, greedy hot pot addiction, easy to cause infertility and "children."
Can an unhealthy diet also lead to infertility? Director Chen Huiqiong said: This phenomenon is also encountered in clinic. Due to unhealthy eating habits, people unconsciously fall into the dilemma of infertility. She said that bad eating habits in winter should not be ignored.
For young people who are crazy about eating hot pot, be careful not to delay the great cause of "having children" because of gluttony. Drinking while eating hot pot is a winter diet hobby of many Guangzhou citizens. Chen Huiqiong said that this is a bad habit that leads to male infertility. When the temperature is low in winter, the sensitivity of prostate sympathetic nerve will be enhanced. After drinking alcohol, it is easy for men to cause prostate congestion and lead to prostatic fluid deposition. And a large number of fried, hot and spicy foods in hot pot will make the symptoms more serious, which will lead to male prostate disease and infertility.
Chen Huiqiong said that in addition to the above two "neglect" habits in winter, women's "graceful but not warm" behavior is also easy to cause infertility caused by "palace cold". These acquired factors are often easily overlooked and accumulated for a long time, thus affecting their reproductive health. She said that due to various factors, the infertility population in China will continue to grow. Therefore, we should develop good living habits in our daily life and never be troubled by infertility.
2. Causes of male infertility
(1) Abnormal semen
Abnormal semen is often the main cause of male infertility. Sperm abnormalities are usually manifested in: the number of sperm is reduced (20 million sperm/ml), the quality of sperm is poor, the motility is low, and abnormal sperm appear.
(2) Mental factors
The mental state of patients with mental factors is abnormal, which leads to neuroendocrine disorder, low testicular spermatogenesis function, or sexual dysfunction and infertility;
(3) Environmental impact
Local testicular warming will also affect sperm quality. Testis should be kept at 2℃ below body temperature to ensure normal sperm quantity and quality. If the local temperature of testicles is too high, such as wearing tight pants for a long time, sitting in an office or driving for a long time, working in a high temperature environment, such as the bathroom staff always listening to hot baths. Interfering with the heat dissipation of scrotum can increase the temperature of testis and decrease the number of sperm.
(4) Testicular spermatogenesis disorder.
The first cause of male infertility is spermatogenic disorder. In addition to environmental factors and mental factors, spermatogenesis disorders, such as testicular dysplasia, such as cryptorchidism, congenital testicular dysplasia, Creutzfeldt-Jakob syndrome and so on. , will make it difficult to produce sperm and lead to infertility;
(5) Obstruction of vas deferens
Obstruction of vas deferens is also one of the reasons why men can't have children, such as inflammation of epididymis, vas deferens, ejaculatory duct and urethra, which will cause obstacles in semen transportation and thus affect fertility.
(6) ejaculation disorder
Lack of sexual knowledge and sexual dysfunction, such as impotence and premature ejaculation; External genital malformation, such as congenital penis is too small to complete the same sex, or hypospadias, upper fissure, semen often shoots outside the female private parts and causes infertility; Trauma, so that you can't share the same bed, or retrograde ejaculation, no ejaculation, etc. Semen can't enter the female reproductive tract and can't be bred into a fetus.
(7) Inflammation of reproductive system
Inflammation of reproductive system will directly threaten the health of reproductive system. Inflammatory damage and recovery of reproductive system can cause spermatogenesis disorder, obstruction of vas deferens, incomplete or non-liquefaction of semen, and then lead to infertility. For example, mumps complicated with acute orchitis can cause permanent damage to the reproductive epithelium, epididymitis, seminal vesiculitis and prostatitis can cause narrow sperm delivery pipeline and scar blockage to cause azoospermia, and prostatitis can increase the abnormal sperm ratio. At present, the more popular sexually transmitted diseases such as gonorrhea, syphilis, trichomoniasis, mycoplasma, Candida albicans and other infections will lead to infertility.
(8) Other factors
Some systemic diseases, such as severe malnutrition, anemia, leukemia and poisoning, taking anticancer drugs, smoking and drinking heavily for a long time, taking crude cottonseed oil for a long time, sperm antigenicity is too strong, fructose deficiency in semen, seminal vesiculitis, prostatitis, abnormal prostaglandin, trace elements or vitamins deficiency, etc. , can cause spermatogenesis disorders, leading to infertility.
