Excessive sexual intercourse can affect sperm quality and lead to infertility.
After a normal man ejaculates, it usually takes 30 to 40 hours for the newly produced sperm to reach the maximum amount. Daily sexual intercourse or even more than one ejaculation per day often results in reduced semen volume and sperm density, as well as reduced sperm motility and survival rate. Therefore, the sperm\’s ability to travel in the female reproductive tract and its \”stamina\” to meet the egg are greatly weakened, and the chance of conception is greatly reduced. Some couples, when they hope to conceive, always strive for frequent sexual intercourse, but the results are counterproductive. In this case, limiting the frequency of sexual intercourse will make it easier to get pregnant quickly.
Another reason for infertility caused by excessive sexual intercourse is that it can easily cause immune infertility in the woman. It turns out that sperm and semen contain a lot of proteins. After these heterosexual proteins are absorbed in the female reproductive tract, they exist as antigens and cause an immune response in the female body, and then produce antibodies in local tissues or blood in the female reproductive tract. There are two main types of these antibodies: one is called \”agglutinating antibodies\” and the other is called \”braking antibodies\”. After a couple has sex, when the sperm reaches the cervix, if it encounters \”agglutination antibodies\”, the sperm will stick together and pile up, binding each other and losing the ability to move. Finally, they will be absorbed by the mucosa of the female reproductive tract, resulting in huge sperm. The army was wiped out. If the sperm encounters \”braking antibodies\”, the movement of the sperm will be blocked; and this \”braking antibody\” can weaken the contraction ability of the uterus and fallopian tubes, preventing the fertilized egg from moving into the uterine cavity. Therefore, even if fertilization and implantation can be achieved, due to the influence of immune antibodies, the embryo development is often hindered and there is a possibility of early miscarriage.
So, why is frequent sexual intercourse related to immune infertility? This is because the wife is frequently exposed to her husband\’s sperm and semen. For some women who can produce specific immune responses, these sperm and semen are antigenic substances that can easily stimulate the production of anti-sperm antibodies in the body. The more frequent sexual intercourse, the more semen the woman absorbs from the man, and the stronger the antigens stimulate antibodies, leading to immune infertility. Therefore, for couples who have had frequent sexual intercourse and are infertile, it is best for the couple to suspend sexual life for a period of time, or use condoms for 3 to 6 months. Since the wife is no longer in contact with her husband\’s semen, the sperm antibody titer in the serum decreases or disappears, which will facilitate pregnancy.
