Does eating garlic affect sperm?

Patient's question:

I am from the north, so I usually like to eat some foods raw, such as garlic. Could you please tell me what effect garlic has on sperm for men?

Doctor's answer:

Garlic is a natural broad-spectrum antibiotic that can inhibit and reduce inflammation of various bacteria. Additionally, eating raw garlic daily can also prevent colds. However, garlic is a spicy food. If men are planning to get pregnant, it is recommended not to eat too much, because eating too much garlic can indeed harm sperm. Men are not advised to eat garlic when preparing for pregnancy. Although garlic can kill bacteria and prevent colds, eating too much garlic can damage the health of the spleen and stomach.
