On october 28, october, the 26th chinese men's health day, the theme of red net news times (chang sai), was “men's health management and the common protection of happiness”. Today, the male physician, liu jin-ho, of the reproductive medicine centre of the changsha city maternal and child health school, talks in depth about a topic that is often neglected but of vital importance — male reproductive health。
In traditional attitudes, the reference to “infertility” or “reproductive difficulties” tends to focus primarily on women. “the birth of a child is a matter for two people, and the fertility of a man is the key to the fulfilment of a family's dream.” according to liu, male-induced infertility has accounted for nearly 50 per cent of all infertility causes in clinical work。
Men have multiple reproductive health misperceptions
Compared to the health of women, men's health is often in a situation of “silence” and “neglect”. Men are often not good at expressing health claims, or even avoiding problems, due to social roles, character characteristics, etc. In particular, in the area of reproductive health, many men are misinformed。
"i'm strong, i'm healthy."
Good physical strength is not equal to strong fertility. The quality of sperm is not directly related to the strength of the body and it is more susceptible to internal health conditions and living habits。
Mistake two: "checking a child is a woman's business and the man is not necessary."
This is the most common area of error. Male semen testing is an innovative, simple and economical first screening method. Prioritization of a semen analysis for the man prior to a complex examination is an efficient and sensible first step。
Zone three: "i can't be pregnant, i can't be ashamed."
Fertility is a natural process of life and difficulties are common medical problems rather than failures of individual capabilities. Active face-to-face, scientific consultation is the expression of responsibility and love。
“invisible factors” affecting male fertility
Poor living habits: long nights, smoking, alcohol abuse, lack of exercise can lead to sperm-generation disorders, reduced vitality and higher deformity rates。
Environmental and occupational factors: long-term exposure to high temperatures (e. G., sauna, tight pants), radiation, chemical products, heavy metals, etc. Can cause damage to the biological function of testicles。
Psychopsychiatric stress: in a state of chronic anxiety and depression, neuroendocrine systems are disrupted and, in serious cases, affect sexual and biological functions。
Diseases of the reproductive system: prostate, testosterone, sexual disorders, etc. Directly or indirectly affect fertility。
Liu jinjun reminds that male reproductive health needs to be protected from dripping. There are reproductive programmes, especially for those who have been pregnant for more than a year without success, and actively search for semen; in their daily lives, men are expected to consume more foods containing zinc, selenium, vitamin c, e, such as nuts, seafood, green leaf vegetables, etc., and to stay up late at night, to stop drinking, to sit in excess of their right weight, to avoid tight pants and hot baths。
