In addition to maternal diseases having an important impact on fetal development, the quality of the father’s sperm also affects the development of the fertilized egg and even the growth of the fetus.
Most people often only pay attention to the role of women in giving birth to offspring. Because the fertilization and development of eggs are carried out in the mother\’s body, they think that the mother has a heavy responsibility. As everyone knows, the quality of a man\’s semen has an equally important impact on conceiving offspring.
In addition to egg cells, the quantity, quality, and mobility of sperm play an important role in the completion of fertilization, among which the quality of sperm is particularly important. The man\’s physical fitness, the health and function of his reproductive organs, and certain external environmental factors all affect the quality and quantity of sperm.
If each semen volume is less than 1.5 ml, the sperm count is less than 20 million, the malformation rate exceeds 20%, the dead sperm exceeds 50%, and the motility is less than 60%, the semen will be released within half an hour. Failure to liquefy, etc., can cause infertility. In clinical practice, we often encounter some infertile couples. After treatment, the woman\’s infertility problem has been basically solved, but she still has difficulty getting pregnant. This is often due to semen problems. Some internal and external factors can cause sperm production defects, leading to infertility, or defects in offspring.
Clinically, at least 85% of male infertility patients are caused by defects in the sperm itself. The main causes are: ① congenital factors, such as testicular development disorders or incomplete maturation, and chromosomal abnormalities; ② endocrine diseases, such as pituitary, adrenal and thyroid diseases causing testicular spermatogenic dysfunction; ③ infectious factors. The most common ones are orchitis caused by mumps; ④ Radiation exposure; ⑤ The influence of heat, such as high-temperature occupations and wearing tight pants, which presses the testicles against the inguinal canal and increases the testicular temperature, causing testicular spermatogenesis to decrease; ⑥ Poisoning by chemical substances and the use of drugs that inhibit spermatogenesis, such as marilan, furan drugs, and long-term use of large amounts of testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone; ⑦ long-term chronic diseases and nutritional deficiencies; ⑧ immune suddenness caused by testicular damage, etc. Episodic oligozoospermia; 9. Oligozoospermia caused by varicocele, etc.
Animal experimental studies have confirmed that taking sedatives can cause sperm abnormalities in male animals and affect the health of offspring. Therefore, if a man takes medication before pregnancy and before having sex, the offspring may have congenital defects. Some scholars believe that certain chemical agents can damage the production and maturation of sperm cells and affect the quality of male semen. Moreover, drugs and their decomposition products are also detrimental to the transport of sperm. also,Men suffering from chronic diseases, malnutrition, lack of vitamin A, calcium, phosphorus, etc., severe tobacco and alcohol addiction, benzene, lead, and arsenic poisoning will also affect the quality of sperm.
Therefore, for the health of the next generation, men should avoid getting pregnant under the above adverse conditions. It is necessary to improve physical fitness, quit smoking and drinking, and take medicines with caution, so as to optimize a suitable conception condition and ensure the birth of a strong and intelligent baby.
