Is testicular size related to male infertility? Many men ask whether the testicles are well developed. So, how to judge whether testicular development is normal?
Caliper measurement method.
This method is not limited by conditions, and the results are more accurate, but it takes time. Measure the length, width and thickness of testis with pliers, and then calculate the volume of testis according to the formula.
Testicular volume (ML)=length diameter (cm), width diameter (cm), thickness diameter (cm), (cm), (cm), (6).
Methods of testicular model comparison.
Also known as quantum contrast method. According to the expected volume, oval hard substances with different volumes are formed, and the scrotal skin is tightened according to the size of 1/25. The measurer (i.e. testicular model) can be purchased in the medical machinery market, and the volume of the measurer with testicular size can be compared one by one beside the testicle.
Drainage measurement method.
This is an early method of use. During measurement, pull down the measured testicles, take out the warm water (about 25 ℃) and put it into the calibration container to make the pulled testicles completely sink into the water. The number of milliliters of water increased after testicular immersion is taken as testicular volume. Due to the inconvenience of clinical use, this method is rarely used.
It is worth noting that there is a certain difference between the testicular volume of normal people on both sides of the same individual, so the measured results can only be used as a reference. The judgement of testicular development and fertility needs comprehensive analysis.
The testicular volume (size measurement method) of Chinese adult male is about (13.13.6) ml at the age of 19~23 years, and 13.64.2) ml at the right side. It is 13.64.2) ml at the age of 24~45 and 14.44.5) ml at the right. The above is for reference only.
Generally speaking, as long as the size of testicles is within the normal range, endocrine function will not affect sexual life. Clinical investigation found that sexual function of less than 8 testicles is also rare. So don't worry too much about testicles.
How do men improve fertility.
quit smoking. Smoking can lead to the reduction of sperm quantity, damage of sperm cell membrane and DNA, and long-term smoking or inhalation of second-hand smoke can lead to male infertility and
Drink less. Excessive drinking will affect the production and development of sperm, lead to the decline of sperm fertilization ability, and may lead to dysfunction, such as low libido, impotence, impotence. It is recommended to drink less alcohol and foreign wine.
Avoid high temperature. The appropriate temperature for testicular spermatogenesis is 1 ℃ (35.6 ℃) - 36 ℃ (36 ℃) lower than the body temperature, which will cause damage to sperm. High temperature will seriously damage the spermatogenesis of testicles. During childbirth, men should try to avoid wearing tight underwear and thick pants, bathing in hot springs, sauna, and directly put notebooks on their knees. Avoid working in hot environment, such as kitchen boiler room.
