Male infertility is a reproductive system disease with a more complicated cause, and excessive obesity is a common cause.So, how does obesity induce male infertility?
1. Affective hormone metabolism and inhibit sperm production
Men's excessive fat accumulation can affect the normal metabolism of sex hormones, thereby suppressing the formation function of sperm, greatly reducing sperm quality, and ultimately induced male infertility.
2. Excessive temperature damage sperm
Obesity men have more fat. The insulation function of fat will make the body temperature slightly higher than the normal range. The normal body temperature of the human body is about 37 ° C, and the best temperature for sperm production and survival is about 2 ℃ lower than the normal temperature.Once the heat preservation function of the fat increases the temperature of the scrotum, it will directly affect the sperm ability of the testicles, destroy the sperm's living environment, and then cause adverse consequences such as decreased sperm production or decreased quality, causing male infertility.
3. Obesity induces diseases and damage sperm
Too obese men will increase the prevalence of many diseases, such as diabetes.Diabetes can lead to higher sugar levels in the blood of patients, which will affect the body's immunity, cause damage to various systems and organs, and then cause adverse effects on the DNA in the sperm.Or a large number of adverse consequences such as sperm deaths eventually trigger male infertility.
