Can insufficient sleep seriously affect semen?
With the development of human beings and the progress of society, nowadays, urban male friends have high work pressure and less sleep time. Many male friends are worried that lack of sleep will lead to infertility? So does lack of sleep seriously affect semen? Let's welcome experts from Linyi Modern Andrology Hospital to give us an introduction.
Can insufficient sleep seriously affect semen? Experts from Linyi Modern Hospital pointed out that lack of sleep affects semen liquefaction, mainly because the enzymes related to liquefaction mainly come from the glandular fluid secreted by the prostate and seminal vesicles, and the secretion of these glandular fluids is regulated by human endocrine hormones. At the same time, hormone secretion is closely related to sleep. Insufficient sleep can cause hormonal disorders, leading to dysfunction in semen liquefaction, and affect fertility issues.
Lack of sleep at night can cause the imbalance of yin and yang qi and blood in the human body. Yang qi is overworked outside, and yin and blood cannot be kept inside. This can lead to yin deficiency and internal heat, which can damage the human body's semen, causing semen to become sticky and lead to poor semen liquefaction. Due to the lack of attention paid by some patients to the impact of sleep on semen, it often leads to recurrent conditions, prolonging the healing time, and thus causing unnecessary economic and mental losses to themselves.
In male infertility, semen liquefaction is poor and semen viscosity is high. It is one of the important factors leading to male infertility. "Some of these patients can recover after targeted treatment, but a few patients will tell their doctors that they carefully follow their doctor's instructions and strive to avoid some undesirable habits that may cause the disease. However, the results of the laboratory tests are still that semen is not a wild flower.". In fact, this is because they ignore the impact of sleep on semen.
