Many expectant parents consciously increase the number of sexual intercourse in order to conceive a baby as soon as possible, thinking that this can help them get pregnant as soon as possible.
In fact, this approach is often counterproductive. Excessive frequency of sexual intercourse between couples will lead to a reduction in semen volume and sperm density, which will significantly reduce sperm motility and survival rates. When the sperm is not fully mature, its \”stamina\” to meet the egg will be greatly weakened, and the chance of conception will naturally decrease. Excessive sexual intercourse can also lead to immune infertility in women. For women who can produce a specific immune response, if they are frequently exposed to their husband\’s semen, it is easy to stimulate the production of anti-sperm antibodies in the body, causing the sperm to adhere and accumulate or hinder its movement, resulting in the inability to combine with the egg. Therefore, having sex once or multiple times a day will greatly reduce the success rate of conception.
Having frequent sex or having intercourse for too long, the prostate is often in a congested state, which can induce aseptic prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, etc., which directly affects the composition of semen, reduces semen quality, and leads to infertility.
Of courselow frequency of sexual life will also affect the success rate of conception. Because sperm is stored in the body for too long, it will cause natural aging and death of sperm, reduced mobility, and an increase in the number of abnormal sperm, thus affecting sperm quality and making it difficult to conceive.
Experts believe that the quality of sperm has a great relationship with the frequency of sexual intercourse. Normal healthy men can produce about 100 million sperm every day. After the sperm are produced, they need to stay in the epididymis for some time before they can gradually mature. If you want to have a baby, it is advisable for couples to have sexual intercourse once every 3 to 4 days, as their sperm quality is the highest.
