Your fertility was taken away by this thing

Putting the mobile phone in the trouser pocket so that you can answer calls or "scroll on WeChat" at any time is a daily habit of many men. Especially when the weather is hot, there are many "workaholics" who turn on the air conditioner as soon as they get home and put the computer on their legs. However, such lifestyle habits are quietly affecting men's fertility. Cheng Ming, an infertility expert at Guangzhou Chang'an Hospital, pointed out that scientists' follow-up investigations and animal experiments have confirmed that electromagnetic radiation will directly affect the number and vitality of male sperm, easily inducing oligospermia and asthenospermia leading to infertility. "Screen-scrolling people" and "workaholics" should pay attention to staying away from and reducing exposure to electromagnetic radiation.

Nearly 80% of people do not know that electromagnetic radiation can cause low sperm count and weak sperm count

How many men are used to carrying their mobile phones in their trouser pockets at all times or working with their computers on their legs? The reporter randomly interviewed more than 30 male office workers in Guangzhou. Nearly 90% of the men said that they would carry their mobile phones in their trouser pockets, almost 12 hours a day, and nearly 60% said they had the habit of putting their laptops on their legs to work, chat, and play games. But nearly 80% of people believe that such habits have no effect on fertility. Is this true?

Foreign scientists have conducted animal experiments and follow-up observations on the population. After a six-month follow-up investigation of more than 200 patients, they found that men who kept their mobile phones in their pockets or around their waists for a long time had a significant 30% decrease in sperm count and a clear downward trend in sperm motility. In addition, animal experiments have confirmed that long-term exposure to radiation has a direct impact on reproductive cells, which manifests as chromosomal mutations or deformities and an increased risk of miscarriage of fertilized eggs. A study by Argentine scientists showed that WiFi wireless Internet access can affect sperm motility, which in turn affects male fertility. Habitually placing a laptop on your lap can also temporarily reduce sperm motility.

There are two main types of effects that radiation brings to germ cells. One is a decrease in the number and vitality of germ cells. This condition is generally reversible. As long as you seek medical attention as soon as possible and undergo systematic and regular treatment, you can get significant improvement. "Since the growth and maturation cycle of male germ cells is about 80 days, our treatment course is also carried out according to the growth law of germ cells. Generally, one course of treatment is three months. The earlier the medical treatment is sought, the better the effect." The second type is chromosomal mutation, which is related to long-term radiation, acquired drug use history, environmental pollution and other factors. Infertility caused by chromosomal mutation is relatively difficult to treat, but if it is discovered early, drugs can be used to slow down the course of the disease and reduce the severity.

Sales managers spend a lot of time on the phone and check WeChat.

It is reported that the age of male infertility is currently concentrated between 25 and 35 years old, and the incidence rate in urban populations in developed areas is higher than that in underdeveloped areas. Urban people are busy with work and often use their mobile phones to chat on the phone, check WeChat, keep their phones on 24 hours a day, and even put their phones next to their pillows when they sleep. Over time, the damage caused by long-term, close-range electromagnetic radiation to male reproductive ability is obvious.

In May 2014, he treated a patient from Dongguan who, due to his job as a sales manager, often carried two mobile phones with him and received calls every day. He had been married for five years but had no children. After a professional examination at Guangzhou Chang'an Hospital, it was found that he had problems with low sperm count and weak sperm count. Cheng Ming's advice to the sales manager was that while actively cooperating with the medication treatment, he should reduce the use of mobile phones, try not to carry a mobile phone with him, put it in a handbag when going out, and try to use headphones or hands-free when answering the phone. Changing mobile phone usage habits and cooperating with treatment have a significant effect. After half a year of treatment, this patient cured her infertility and successfully had her own child. "When asked why the treatment has such obvious therapeutic effects, Cheng Ming said that although they are both reproductive cells, sperm cells are more sensitive than egg cells. Therefore, men are more obviously affected by high temperature and radiation than women. "For every male patient who comes to see a doctor, we will remind him to use mobile phones and computers less and change his lifestyle habits, so that the treatment effect will be better. ”

Radiation protection starts with changing your lifestyle habits

If "screen scrollers" and "workaholics" want to reduce the impact of electromagnetic radiation on their reproductive system, they should first change their lifestyle habits. In daily life, there are many sources of radiation, among which microwave ovens and mobile phones mainly emit high-frequency radiation, while televisions, air conditioners, computers, etc. mainly emit low-frequency radiation. It is worth noting that the amount of radiation generated by a hair dryer when in operation is among the highest among household appliances.

Infertility experts remind men to keep a distance from sources of electromagnetic radiation in their daily lives, and further explain that the human body should be kept at least 70 cm away from the screen, and at least 120 cm away from the back and sides of the computer; try to use new computers: old computers have a higher radiation dose, and do not place miscellaneous metal objects indoors to avoid the re-emission of electromagnetic waves; the computer screen should not be too bright, the brighter the screen, the stronger the electromagnetic radiation.

In addition, Cheng Ming said that in terms of diet, you can eat more carrots, bean sprouts, tomatoes, kelp, animal liver, lean meat, etc. These foods have a certain anti-radiation effect. You can drink more tea during work breaks, such as green tea, chrysanthemum tea, etc., and place more green plants at home and in the workplace, such as cactus, aloe vera, etc., to reduce radiation.

Cheng Ming said that according to the treatment recommendations of Guangzhou Chang'an Hospital, if a couple has been living normally for half a year but has not been able to conceive, both husband and wife should go to the hospital for a check-up in time. Especially for men, they need to undergo screening for sperm count, motility, and deformity rate, and after prostate fluid examination and color ultrasound examination, a systematic treatment plan will be given after the judgment of a professional doctor.
