Automobile exhaust gas
Will it affect the quality of male sperm?
In the context of increasing environmental pollution, human fertility is constantly declining. It is said that car exhaust can cause a decrease in sperm quality and even affect fertility, is it true? Below, experts will analyze the impact of car exhaust on sperm quality for everyone. Let's take a look together!
Will car exhaust affect sperm quality?
Medical researchers from the University of Naples, Italy, studied 85 men working at highway toll booths and found that their sperm number was no different from that of other young and middle-aged men in the same area, but their sperm motility decreased, so their fertility also decreased accordingly.
In this study, staff at highway toll stations underwent comprehensive medical examinations, and 83% of men were married, with 7 out of 71 married individuals having no offspring after marriage. Research suggests that prolonged exposure to car exhaust can lead to low sperm quality, thereby affecting male fertility. Researchers believe that these men work in high concentrations of nitric oxide, sulfur monoxide, carbon monoxide, lead and other vehicle exhaust gases for a long time, and nitric oxide, lead, etc., are most likely to damage sperm quality.
About one-third of female infertility is caused by abnormal sperm quantity and quality in the male partner. If the number of male sperm is less than 20 million sperm per milliliter of semen, the fertility is extremely poor. The sperm motility is weakened, and the abnormal morphology will also affect the male fertility.
If men are exposed to car exhaust for 6 hours every day, their testosterone levels will not change, but their sperm motility will decrease, thereby affecting fertilization ability.
How to improve sperm quality and vitality?
1. Vitamin E has a certain function in restoring blood vessels, so regularly consuming foods rich in vitamin E is definitely effective in preventing and restoring symptoms of varicocele. Common foods rich in vitamin E include corn oil, peanut oil, sesame oil, lettuce leaves and citrus peel.
2. People who are often mentally stressed can eat 3 to 5 fresh dates a day to supplement vitamin C, which helps sperm maintain health and vitality, and makes couples' lives more harmonious. In addition to fresh dates, foods rich in vitamin C include kiwifruit, oranges, oranges, broccoli, asparagus, and more.
3. Guazi is a highly recommended zinc rich food that can be eaten as a snack every day. Nuts such as walnuts, peanuts, hazelnuts, and pine nuts are all rich in zinc. Fish, shrimp, loach, squid, sea cucumber and other aquatic products, as well as seafood, are also rich in zinc.
4. Moderate increase in physical exercise can lead to excessive obesity in men, which can lead to an increase in temperature in the groin and hinder sperm growth, thereby affecting fertility.
5. Avoid high temperatures, as testicular temperatures are lower than other parts of the body. High temperature steam baths can directly damage sperm and inhibit sperm production.
6. 250g green shrimp, washed, 100g leeks, washed, cut into sections, stir fry green shrimp in vegetable oil, add seasoning, and then stir fry leeks until tender and ready to eat. Suitable for patients with kidney yang deficiency and life gate fire failure

Suitable for those with insufficient kidney essence.
8. Some bad living habits can lead to a decrease in sperm vitality, such as irregular lifestyle, a spicy diet, and prolonged sitting. Therefore, attention should be paid to not being addicted to alcohol or spicy food, not wearing or reducing jeans, not taking or reducing saunas, and avoiding working environments with high temperatures and radiation.
9. Sexual activity must be safe and hygienic, and after the occurrence of a reproductive tract infection, one should also seek medical attention in a timely manner. Do not casually seek medication to take it, or just perfunctory. Once the opportunity for treatment is missed and chronic reproductive tract infections form, it will further increase the difficulty of treatment.
