For infertile couples, it is necessary to promptly go to the hospital for relevant infertility examinations in order to identify the cause of infertility. In fact, there are many and complex reasons that can lead to infertility. For example, low sperm motility can easily lead to infertility. So, what are the reasons for low sperm motility?
1. Reproductive system infection
Infections of the reproductive system can lead to inflammation of the reproductive system, such as prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, epididymitis, and urethritis. These inflammations can cause variations in semen, making the acidity, oxygen supply, nutrition, metabolism, etc. of semen unfavorable for sperm activity and survival. A decrease in magnesium, zinc, citric acid, fructose, and an increase in pH value in semen can all have an impact on sperm survival rate.
2. Varicocele
Varicocele causes local hypoxia in the testicles due to venous blood reflux disorders, and increased levels of prostaglandins and serotonin in venous blood can also lead to a decrease in sperm survival rate. Varicocele can cause an increase in scrotal temperature and a decrease in sperm survival rate.
3. Anti sperm antibody
Antisperm antibodies refer to the male's self generated "self-defense", which causes the immune system to produce antibodies, causing sperm agglutination or immobilization, making it difficult for sperm to survive, resulting in a low sperm survival rate.
4. Eating preference or improper diet
Many men are also overly picky about food. Once the two essential elements for sperm production, zinc and selenium, are lacking in the food they consume, sperm cannot be produced and matured. For men who love to eat spicy food, it is easy to experience congestion in the reproductive and urinary organs, leading to a decrease in semen volume and a deterioration in quality.
5. Love wearing tight pants
Men become narcissistic and often go crazy. If men like to wear tight and hard pants, it may cause the scrotum and testicles to be restrained, resulting in poor heat dissipation and an increase in scrotal temperature, thereby reducing sperm vitality. In addition, tight pants hinder local blood circulation, which can easily cause testicular congestion and affect sperm production, leading to infertility.
The above introduces the five major reasons for low sperm motility, namely reproductive system infections, varicocele, anti sperm antibodies, picky eating or improper diet, and wearing tight clothing. If you want to improve sperm vitality, male friends should try to avoid the above factors as much as possible.
