According to foreign media such as ATV News, Dr. Chen Wangchang, director of the Department of Reproductive Medicine at Central Western Integrated Hospital in Zhejiang Province, China, argued that about 70% of young sperm donors, including college students, have sperm quality that does not meet national standards.
Dr. Chen explained that when young men investigated sperm donated, sperm concentration and activity decreased and the deformity rate increased.
He added "In the past, fertility clinics were primarily for men between the ages of 30 and 40, but now newlyweds between the ages of 25 and 28 are increasingly visiting clinics.""In particular, the incidence of male diseases such as varicose veins and prostatitis in the lower extremities is increasing rapidly among young people.", he pointed out.
In particular, computer programmers, e-sports workers, and night workers are classified as high-risk groups, he added.
At the same time, Dr. Chen cited the case of a male patient named Xiaolin (27, alias).
His sperm count was 3 million per milliliter. It is only one-fifth of the standard of at least 15 million.
In addition, there were no sperms with excellent activity, and the slow-moving sperms were about 2 to 3%, and the deformity rate reached 98%.
Dr. Chen concluded that it was because of his lifestyle and work environment.
He ran a nightclub, changing day and night and suffering from a lack of sleep for a long time. Also drinking with customers 3-4 times a week, smoking for a long time, and hardly exercising. It wasn't until he was examined that he realized the seriousness of the problem that he didn't have a child.
On Dr. Chen's advice, he quit running nightclubs and improved lifestyle habits such as smoking cessation and abstaining from alcohol.
After 6 months of treatment, his sperm concentration rose to 14 million per milliliter and succeeded in pregnancy.
Dr. Chen emphasized three things to improve sperm quality in young men: regular sleep, exercise, and weight management.
First of all, you should go to bed before 11 p.m., get a good night's sleep (0-3 a.m.), and refrain from using your cell phone during bedtime.
I also recommended doing exercises such as climbing stairs for 20 minutes a day and getting up and moving every 45 minutes.
Obese people need to lose weight and maintain a BMI between 18.5 and 24.
Dr. Chen said, `I want young men to pay more attention to their reproductive health,' adding, `We need to avoid staying up late, living only sitting down, and bad habits to maintain the best sperm condition," he said.
