Urology Specialist Op. Dr. Fatih Çanaklı summarized what men who are single or have not yet had children or have not completed their families should pay attention to in order to protect their sperm.
Dr. Fatih Çanaklı mentioned that 15 out of every 100 couples do not have children for different reasons, and stated that age, lifestyle and various infections, as well as sperm count and quality, play an effective role in not being able to have children. Dr. Çanaklı summarized the things men should pay attention to in 9 articles as follows: “Varicocele: Varicocele (enlargement of the testicular veins), seen in 15-20 percent of men, can damage sperm. Young adults with varicocele whose sperm count is normal should have a sperm count test once a year. If there is a deterioration in the sperm test, surgery may be required. Underwear: There is no evidence to support the idea that when men wear tight underwear (slip briefs), the testicles sit closer to the body and warm up, affecting sperm production. The person can wear whatever style of underwear (tight or loose) he/she is comfortable with.
MOBILE PHONE AND LAPTOP
Stating that one should be careful about mobile phones and wi-fi devices, Dr. Çanaklı said, “Mobile phones should be kept and carried as far away from the testicles as possible. "In the experiments, it was determined that sperm cells were damaged when exposed to phones or other electromagnetic waves," said Dr. Likewise, Çanaklı said that laptops should not be used on the lap. Dp. Dr. Fatih Çanaklı said, “It is known that the use of laptops on the lap causes a significant temperature increase in the testicles and sperm damage. This problem cannot be corrected by placing a pillow under the computer. "Any type of computer should be used on an object such as a table or a coffee table, not on the lap," he said. Çanaklı said, “With the advantage of their location outside the body, testicles may not be affected much by the temperature increase in hot saunas. However, if there is contact with hot water all around, such as in baths and spa pools, the resulting heat may affect reproductive health. "It is recommended to avoid long and very hot baths." K Dr. stated that chemicals and smoking can also affect sperm. Çanaklı said, “Some medications and smoking seriously affect sperm quality. It is strongly recommended that couples trying to have children quit smoking completely. "In addition to disrupting the number, movement and shape of sperm, smoking also causes damage to sperm DNA," he said. Çanaklı also warned about alcohol use and said, "Alcohol and substance use are factors that can reduce sperm quality and testosterone hormone levels in men."
IT CAN COMPLETELY DESTROY SPERM PRODUCTION
Urology Specialist Op. Dr. Fatih Çanaklı explained the other item that men should pay attention to in order to protect their sperm as follows:
"Bodybuilding anabolic steroids and hormones: Those who do bodybuilding and fitness sports unfortunately widely use hormone drugs (which they think are innocent). Cortisol "And testosterone derivatives can have serious effects that can completely destroy sperm production. It is important that those who want to have children do not use such hormones."
