The health of sperm is a very important factor in fertility. Many men are infertile because of poor sperm quality. How to see the quality of sperm? In fact, you can tell by semen.
How to see if semen is healthy?
1. In terms of color
The color is the easiest to see whether the semen is healthy. Healthy semen is basically gray, which may be a little yellow. If the semen turns yellow or red obviously, the possibility of blood sperm is high, and urethritis often occurs.
2. Semen liquefaction time
After male ejaculation, the semen becomes frozen, and generally liquefies directly in about 20 minutes, but no liquefaction after 30 minutes may be due to abnormal semen.
3. Semen viscosity
When the semen is liquefied, you can gently lift the semen with a toothpick. When the semen is normal, the semen silk formed is less than 2cm. This semen is healthy, otherwise it may cause problems.
4. Semen volume
Semen volume is a relatively intuitive indicator. The amount of ejaculation that occurs during basic ejaculation is more than 2ml. Too little may cause oligospermia. However, it is not good to ejaculate more than 7ml. Because the concentration of such semen is too low, it is easy to flow out of the vagina during sex.
How to improve sperm quality?
1. Wearing pants is very exquisite
Just as we do not advocate tight pants for female friends, for men, tight pants, synthetic materials and high temperature will affect male reproductive ability, so the selection of male pants is also very particular. In addition, male friends should also note that sitting for a long time can easily increase the temperature of the scrotum, thus affecting the growth of sperm. Therefore, for some office workers or drivers, they should pay more attention to leisure and sports in the busy, which is also very beneficial to health.
2. Say no to sauna and hot bath
Since we said that high temperature will also affect the sperm quality of men, it is better for male friends to stay away from hot baths and saunas. Especially for men who have hot baths above 40 ℃, the sperm quality will be significantly lower than the average level. At the same time, boys who have not had children should also try to take showers and reduce the number of urban health care methods such as sitz bath, sauna and steam room.
3. Don't drink too much
Drinking a lot of alcohol will not only have adverse effects on health, but also damage sperm and affect the development of embryos, and even cause the decline of male fertility. Therefore, men do not drink alcohol within two or three months before their planned pregnancy, which can ensure the quality of sperm. If you share a room on a drunken night, your baby is usually stunted and weak.
