Patient's question:
We have been married for five years, and so far we haven't had a baby. Our family is pressuring us hard, so I went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said I have male infertility. Could you please tell me what nutrients male infertility patients should supplement?Doctor's answer:
Hello, some foods, if consumed in excess, can be harmful to male fertility. Examples include celery, Chinese cabbage, water chestnuts, and cottonseed oil (edible oil). Long-term consumption may lead to a decrease in sperm quantity and quality. Nowadays, environmental pollution is becoming increasingly severe, and the mercury content in seafood is also continuously rising. Therefore, it's important to consume seafood in moderation. Overeating may cause long-term mercury accumulation in the body, which not only affects sperm motility and quantity but also harms the body. Excessive smoking and alcohol consumption can impair the function of the epididymis, interfere with sperm DNA, and thus hinder our "family planning."
