6 bad habits lead to dietary taboos for male infertility patients

Male infertility is a common fertility problem that brings great distress and burden to families. So what causes infertility? What should infertile patients eat? What dietary taboos should you pay attention to? Let’s first talk about the dietary taboos for infertile patients!

Six habits are causes of male infertility.

1. Smoking and drinking heavily for a long time. Long-term smoking and drinking are very harmful to the body, especially to the male reproductive system.

2. Mental depression and excessive fatigue. Long-term mental stress and depression have always had a great impact on male fertility; staying up late and being overtired can lead to a decrease in male resistance and affect male sexual function and spermatogenesis.

3. Long-term hot bath and sauna. According to experts from Changsha Oriental Men's Hospital, testicular spermatogenesis requires an environment 1-1.5 lower than the normal body temperature of 37. Some data show that if a person with normal sperm density soaks in 43-44°C warm water for 20 minutes for 3 consecutive days, the sperm density can be reduced to less than 10 million/ml, which can last for 3 weeks. Therefore, hot water baths that are too frequent and too long are not suitable for infertile patients with low sperm count and low motility rate. Of course, it's okay to take a short hot bath once or twice a week.

4. Malnutrition. The production of sperm requires raw materials, so the spermatogenic function is closely related to the nutritional level. People with partial eclipses are often prone to some nutritional deficiencies.

5. Riding too many bicycles, motorcycles, etc. This often causes the prostate and other accessory gonads to suffer chronic strain and congestion, affecting their function, aggravating chronic inflammation, and affecting fertility.

6. Long-term drug abuse. In particular, some chemical drugs that treat tumors and cancers have a greater impact, as well as some drugs that treat chronic diseases. If you are considering having children, be sure to consult your doctor about changing or stopping your medication.

Dietary taboos for infertile patients

1. Tofu

Men who like to eat tofu and other soy products should be careful. According to recent reports from many U.S. media, a latest study from the Harvard School of Public Health and Public Health has once again made it clear that if you eat soy products every day, your male sperm count will drop significantly.

Soy products have adverse effects on the male reproductive system, especially sperm production. Soybeans and their products are rich in isoflavonoid phytoestrogens. If you take too much, it will naturally affect male hormone levels, leading to a series of adverse consequences.

2. Beer

If you already have kidney disease and drink a large amount of beer without restraint, uric acid deposition will cause renal tubular obstruction and renal failure.

3. Milk tea

Bubble tea currently on the market is mostly made of creamer, coloring matter, essence, tapioca flour (referring to the pearls in milk tea) and tap water. The main ingredient of creamer is hydrogenated vegetable oil, which is a trans fatty acid. Trans fatty acids can reduce the secretion of male hormones, negatively affect sperm motility, and interrupt the reaction process of sperm in the body.

4. Fried chicken

Men who love barbecue in summer, take note. Experts point out that grilled and fried starchy foods contain acrylamide, a carcinogenic poison that can lead to fewer men and weaker sperm. In addition, heavy metal cadmium and pesticide residues are toxic to sperm.

5. Pork tenderloin

Many people like to eat animal offal, especially when eating barbecue. "Kidney" is the favorite of many men. Recently, doctors from Taiwan Province warned: Eat offal to replenish the body and beware of the heavy metal "cadmium" damaging sperm and causing infertility. People who want to "eat whatever they want" about liver, offal, and pig testicles should be careful, because eating too much will not only fail to replenish the body, but may also lead to infertility.
