In recent years, prices have been rising, the RMB has been devaluing, property prices have soared, and oil, food, and daily necessities are priced one day at a time. Inflation and economic crisis have been affecting the country for several years. The general public is calling life difficult and the situation is not optimistic. The world situation is also very similar and slightly different. This situation is well known to all Chinese people.
But when you think about it carefully, the "sperm crisis" is more serious and terrifying than the "economic crisis". In recent years, many artificial insemination institutions have long queues (registered appointments) waiting for artificial insemination because there are too few sperm in stock. Outpatient department of some infertility hospitals, Tingruo City, Yemen. A serious problem has attracted the attention of the central government. The national family planning department has considered relaxing family planning in some regions, proposing that a couple can have two children. Why has the family planning work that was vetoed a few years ago changed now? "Because a problem that is causing our nation's reproductive capacity to decline day by day is already before us, causing concern. If we do not take timely measures, it will be difficult for our nation to continue to reproduce, which is not a sensational issue.".
An important issue now is that male infertility has become prominent. This is manifested by a significant decrease in the quantity and quality of male sperm.
As long as you check online, you can see that all "sperm banks" (sperm banks) are in urgent need. There are 10 "sperm banks" across the country. It is a medical institution responsible for performing artificial insemination for infertile and infertile women. It usually stores a certain amount of sperm and allows infertile women to come to perform artificial insemination at any time. Storage method: Use a small bottle to hold the semen collected by a man who came to donate semen, and place it in a liquid nitrogen tank at - 196 ℃. It can be stored for a long time.
According to reports from sperm banks across the country, many women have come to request artificial insemination, but the sperm inventory is low, so it is necessary to queue up for registration. It is said that each sperm bank has thousands of people queuing up, so the fastest time to wait is three years. "Because the source of sperm is relatively difficult, its collection requires strict procedures. Sperm donors must be healthy, handsome, young, strong, tall, intelligent, free of genetic diseases, and willing to donate sperm with love.". In addition, there are ethical issues, namely, there is no blood relationship with the recipient of artificial insemination. At present, these candidates are not easy to find. Currently, sperm donors are mainly college students. The sperm qualification rate is not high, often around 20%, sometimes less than one tenth. "Each donor's semen can only be used for artificial insemination by five women. Therefore, sperm banks across the country are currently in very short supply of sperm stocks.".
According to relevant surveys, compared to 30 or 40 years ago, the amount of sperm per ejaculation of Chinese men has decreased year by year, with the number of sperm per milliliter of semen reduced from 100 million previously to 20 million to 40 million currently. The quality of sperm has also significantly decreased, the number of abnormal sperm has increased, and the vitality, penetration, and vitality of sperm have decreased. In April 2007, the Chinese Sexuality Society sampled 100 male semen samples and found that 70% of them had abnormal sperm. Among them, about 20% are azoospermia, about 30% are oligospermia, and about 40% are hypospermia.
A survey of 19000 newly married families in Guangdong by a website found that 14.7% of them suffer from infertility, with an estimated male cause accounting for more than 50%.
The situation is grim! The reproductive function of men has been seriously threatened without precedent, and the above situation has sounded a warning bell to humanity: Without taking measures, human reproduction will be unsustainable! Of course not now, but the day when neither you nor I can see.
