How to improve spermatogenic function

Improving spermatogenic function can be achieved by adjusting lifestyle, supplementing nutrition, improving testicular environment, controlling disease factors and exercising moderately. Decreased spermatogenic function may be related to factors such as malnutrition, endocrine disorders, inflammation of the reproductive system, bad living habits, and chronic diseases.

1. Adjust your lifestyle

Avoid sitting for long periods of time, wearing tight pants, or bathing in hot springs and other high-temperature environments. High temperatures will inhibit the spermatogenic function of the testicles. Stop smoking and limit alcohol consumption. Both nicotine and alcohol in tobacco can damage the integrity of sperm DNA. Maintain a regular schedule and ensure 7-8 hours of sleep a day to avoid endocrine disorders caused by staying up late.

2. Supplement nutrition

Increase the intake of zinc, selenium, vitamin E and other nutrients appropriately. Zinc is involved in the process of sperm production and maturation. Foods such as oysters and beef are rich in zinc. Selenium has antioxidant effects and can be supplemented through nuts and seafood. Vitamin E can protect the sperm membrane structure. It is recommended to eat spinach, almonds, etc.

3. Improve testicular environment

To avoid long-term pressure on the scrotal area, choose breathable cotton underwear. Apply cold compress to the scrotum for 15 minutes every day to reduce local temperature. Massage the testicles moderately to promote blood circulation, but you need to be gentle and careful to avoid squeezing and damaging the seminiferous epithelium.

4. Control disease factors

Treat varicocele, epididymitis and other diseases promptly. Varicocele may cause testicular congestion and hypoxia, and you need to use Maizhiling Tablets or perform high varicocele ligation as directed by your doctor. Patients with chronic prostatitis can take Qianlieshutong capsules and take a sitz bath with warm water as directed by the doctor.

5. Moderate exercise

Perform aerobic exercise such as jogging and swimming 3-5 times a week for 30-45 minutes each time to improve blood circulation throughout the body. Avoid oxidative stress caused by excessive strenuous exercise, and replenish water in time after exercise. Can be combined with Kegel exercises to strengthen pelvic floor muscle function.

You can eat more arginine-rich sea cucumbers, eels and other foods on a daily basis to avoid exposure to environmental toxins such as pesticides and heavy metals. Those who have not improved for a long time need to see a doctor to check their sex hormone levels and semen quality to rule out pathological factors such as pituitary tumors and chromosomal abnormalities. During treatment, an optimistic attitude should be maintained to prevent anxiety from affecting the function of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis.
