Patient's question:
What foods or medications can promote sperm productionDoctor's answer:
First, you should quit smoking and drinking alcohol. Nicotine in cigarettes can harm sperm, while excessive alcohol consumption may lead to a decline in male gonadal function, causing abnormal chromosomes in sperm. Sperm growth requires nutrients. Some men have a monotonous diet, being picky eaters and preferring not to consume animal-based foods. Over time, this can lead to a decrease in zinc levels in the body. Zinc deficiency in men can reduce sexual desire and function, decrease sperm count by 30% to 40%, and even result in infertility. Chicken, eggs, chicken liver, peanut skins, and pork are all high in zinc. When consuming these foods, note that alcohol can affect zinc absorption. Additionally, foods high in lysine are essential for sperm formation. Eel, loach, squid, hairtail, eel, sea cucumber, cuttlefish, as well as yam and tofu skin are all rich in lysine. To improve sperm quality, it is advisable to eat less salted fish, meat products (such as sausages and ham), and pickled vegetables. These foods may contain nitrosamines, which are strong carcinogens. In terms of medication, you can supplement with vitamin E. The above information is for reference. Wishing you good health, happiness, and vitality!
