Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I would like to ask what percentage of abnormal sperm is considered normal for men? What is the normal rate of abnormal sperm in a man's semen? I'm not very familiar with these details. My sperm abnormality rate is about 65%. Could this affect my wife's ability to conceive? What percentage of abnormal sperm can be considered normal for men?Doctor's answer:
Hello, generally speaking, if the abnormal rate of sperm exceeds 50%, it is considered abnormal. It is essential to pay attention to preventing infections, especially genital tract infections, which can significantly harm sperm vitality. For young people, the main source of infections is unsafe sexual practices. Therefore, it is advisable to promote safe and hygienic sexual behavior. If genital tract infections occur, it is important to see a doctor promptly rather than casually taking some medication to treat the condition. Once the opportunity to receive timely treatment is missed, the development of chronic genital tract infections can increase the difficulty of treatment. Prevention should include the following measures:1. Relax your mind. Excessive mental stress can also negatively affect sperm development, so men should learn to relax appropriately.
2. Engage in regular exercise. Studies show that excessive obesity in men can raise the temperature in the groin area, damaging sperm development and leading to infertility. Therefore, maintaining a healthy weight can improve sperm quality.
3. Develop good lifestyle habits. Avoid frequent visits to saunas or steam baths. High temperatures from steam baths can directly harm sperm and suppress sperm production.
4. Regularly visit clinics for check-ups. Bacterial infections are also a significant factor in male infertility. Regular check-ups with a doctor for chlamydia and prostate-related tests are recommended.
5. Eat more green vegetables. Green vegetables contain nutrients such as vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc, and selenium, which are beneficial for sperm development.
6. Quit smoking and drinking alcohol. Data shows that smoking and alcohol consumption are the main factors contributing to a decline in sperm quantity and quality.
