With the rapid development of society, people’s lifestyles and habits are undergoing significant changes.
In particular, the increasing life stresses, poor diet, and lack of exercise among modern people have led to more health problems.
The increase in male erectile dysfunction issues is not only due to smoking and drinking but also due to the following three “accomplices”.
1. Long-term use of electronic devices
Prolonged use of electronic devices such as mobile phones and computers can not only lead to eye fatigue and cervical spondylosis but may also have an impact on the male reproductive system.
Studies have shown that excessive use of electronic devices can raise scrotal temperature, reduce sperm quality and quantity, thus affecting male fertility.
2. Lack of sleep
Insufficient sleep can affect the male endocrine system, leading to decreased testosterone levels and decreased erectile function.
In addition, insufficient sleep can increase psychological stress and fatigue, further burdening the body and affecting male sexual function.
3. Excessive intake of high-calorie foods
Excessive intake of fast food and high-calorie foods can easily lead to obesity and metabolic disorders, which are major causes of male erectile dysfunction.
Studies have shown that obesity and metabolic disorders can cause contraction of the penile corpus cavernosum and venous sinus, leading to decreased erectile function.
For men who want to improve sperm quality, the following four things are very important:
1. Healthy diet and lifestyle
A healthy diet and lifestyle can help men maintain good physical condition and improve sperm quality.
This includes eating more fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and proteins, limiting sugar and saturated fat intake, exercising moderately, avoiding smoking and drinking, and other bad habits.
2. Avoid exposure to harmful environments
Men need to avoid exposure to harmful environments, such as pollution in industrialized cities, heavy metal pollution, pesticides, and fertilizers, which can have adverse effects on the male reproductive system.
In addition, long-term exposure to high temperatures and radiation can also have a negative impact on sperm.
3. Stress and anxiety management
Stress and anxiety are major causes of decreased sperm count and quality.
Men need to learn to manage stress and anxiety to avoid negative effects on the body. This can be achieved through exercise, meditation, seeking professional psychological counseling, and other methods.
4. Avoid using certain medications
Some medications may have adverse effects on the male reproductive system, such as methylphenidate, antibiotics, antipsychotics, and hormones, among others.
Men need to be cautious about overusing these medications or consult a doctor before use to see if they have negative effects on sperm quality.
Therefore, to safeguard male reproductive health, multiple aspects need to be addressed.
Improving lifestyle and habits, including adequate exercise, healthy diet, ensuring sufficient sleep time, reducing electronic device usage time, etc.
Also, attention should be paid to mental health and avoiding unhealthy habits.
