Patient's question:
I previously had a girlfriend, but later she broke up with me and got into a relationship with someone else and became pregnant immediately. I'm worried that I might have male infertility, and I feel like the sky is falling. Please ask: Are there usually any taboos associated with male infertility?Doctor's answer:
Smoking and alcohol should be avoided as much as possible for infertility patients. Heavy smoking increases the content of thiocyanate in semen, which can inhibit sperm motility. The number of abnormal sperm in smokers' semen is also significantly lower than that of non-smokers. The ethanol (alcohol) in alcohol is also harmful to the testes. Long-term excessive drinking can severely impair the activity of three enzymes involved in testosterone production in the body, leading to the inability of the testes to normally produce testosterone and sperm. You can eat more high-quality protein. High-quality protein mainly refers to various animal foods, such as chicken, duck, fish, lean meat, and eggs. Many animal foods themselves contain a lot of sex hormones, which can help reduce sexual desire and the evolution of semen and sperm. Diet therapy has an impact on the treatment of male infertility. It is recommended that you go to a professional infertility hospital for a thorough examination and treatment.
