Patient's question:
Hello doctor, my wife and I have been married for 2 years without having children. I secretly took a semen test at the hospital. The doctor said my sperm vitality is low, but it's not severe. I would like to ask if low sperm vitality affects fertility.Doctor's answer:
Pay attention to avoiding high temperatures in daily life: Try to minimize visits to saunas and steam baths, as high-temperature steam baths can directly harm sperm and also inhibit sperm production. Prevent excessive obesity: Excessive obesity in men can lead to a constant increase in temperature in the groin area, damaging sperm growth. Therefore, maintaining a standard weight range can improve sperm quality.Suggestions: If sperm survival rates are low, it is recommended to abstain from smoking and alcohol, and to eat fewer stimulating foods. Avoid excessive fatigue. At the same time, it is important to treat the underlying causes, such as actively treating urinary and reproductive system infections. Take supplements rich in various vitamins, especially those containing zinc, selenium, and calcium.
