Most men in life pay special attention to their reproductive health. In fact, reproductive health also affects men’s fertility to a certain extent. Apart from maintaining good physical health, men should also pay more attention to the quality of sperm. Especially for men who are trying to conceive or are not yet married, some daily behaviors may lead to a decline in sperm quality, even infertility. At what age do men’s sperm quality start to decline? If you have these 3 habits, it may harm your “essence,” let’s understand them together.
At what age do men’s sperm quality start to decline?
We all know that the best age for male fertility is between 30 and 35. During this age range, men’s sperm quality, quantity, and vitality are at an optimal stage. In their thirties, men’s sperm quality reaches a peak, which lasts for about five years. After 35 years, as a person ages, the quality of sperm begins to decline. Therefore, couples who want to have a baby should try to get pregnant before the age of 35, which is more conducive to successful pregnancy and the baby’s health.
After the age of 35, do men’s sperm quality start to decline? Do you have these 3 habits that harm your “essence”?
1. Crossing legs often
It may seem like a simple gesture that many people overlook. However, continuously crossing legs can potentially have adverse effects on men’s sperm. Prolonged leg crossing can compress the testicles, affecting the internal balance function of the testicles, restricting the secretion of testosterone, leading to testicular atrophy, and affecting sperm quality and quantity. Therefore, men should pay attention to their sitting posture in daily life and avoid leg crossing, which is more beneficial for sperm health.
2. Enjoying hot baths
It is important to control the temperature and duration of bathing, rather than avoiding hot baths altogether. Prolonged soaking in hot water may impact sperm quality and quantity, as sperm do not favor high temperatures, which can potentially kill them. This may decrease male fertility rates and even lead to fetal abnormalities. Men should try to keep the water temperature around 40°C and not bathe for too long.
3. Smoking and drinking often
Many men in society have the habit of smoking and drinking. While it is known that smoking and drinking can pose many health problems, it can be challenging to quit these habits, which may lead to hidden risks. Long-term smoking and drinking can affect sperm quality and quantity, even causing sperm mutations, making it difficult for women to conceive. Moreover, if pregnancy occurs, the probability of sperm abnormalities increases, and in severe cases, it may lead to miscarriage.
