The reason why the quality of male sperm is poor. High pressure has many disadvantages to health. Recently, a new study published in the Huffington Post found that stress has a serious negative impact on the quality of male sperm.
Dr. Pamfaktlitwak, an associate professor of epidemiology at the Melman School of Public Health at Columbia University in the United States, and his colleagues studied 193 male subjects aged 38 to 49. The researchers took semen samples from the men and investigated their "objective pressure" and "subjective pressure". "Objective stress" includes various major life events that can lead to a surge in stress. "Subjective stress" includes the personal feelings of the participants. The researchers also evaluated the life stress and work stress of the participants. The results showed that there was a significant correlation between pressure and sperm quality.
Reasons for the deterioration of male sperm quality
Dr. Litwak analyzed and pointed out that the causes of high stress and poor sperm may include oxidative stress hormone and glucocorticoid (also known as "adrenocortical hormone"), which may affect the production of sperm and testosterone. Excessive pressure will affect sperm activity, shape and concentration.
Scientists say that stress is not the only possible factor affecting the quality of male sperm. A 2013 Harvard University study showed that eating too much processed meat will reduce the quality of semen. Several studies have also shown that sperm loss is closely related to watching TV more than 20 hours a week and being overweight.
