When\nyou’re trying to conceive, there are so many things that you need to be mindful\nof. Your spermatozoa are actually very sensitive, and they’re vulnerable to all\nsorts of damages. Even though you technically produce millions of sperm cells\neach day, it takes about three months for your little swimmers to mature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If\nyou’re not taking good care of your sperm health, your sperm could start dying\noff even before they reach maturity and become viable. And you actually need at\nleast 15 million of sperm for every milliliter of your semen in order for your\ncount to be considered normal. Learn about five common factors that can cause\nyour sperm count to go down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#1\nHigh Testicular Temperatures <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\nliterally don’t want your testicles to overheat. Your spermatozoa are very\nsensitive to heat stress. And if you’re constantly exposed to high temperatures\nsuch as if you work near ovens all day, there’s a good chance that your\ntesticular temperature will also increase. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s\na good reason why you have your testicles inside your scrotum. The scrotal sac\nis supposed to keep your testicles cool and safe. If you think that a body\ntemperature of 98\u02da Fahrenheit is alright, that’s actually only good for the\nrest of your body, but not for your sperm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At\nthat temperature, your sperm will get fried, and your testicles may even stop\nproducing altogether, which means you won’t have any supply of little swimmers\nfor the next three months or so. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In\nshort, avoid hot tubs, saunas, tight clothes that don’t let your testicles\nbreath, and other high-temperature situations. By the way, extremely high\nfevers can also cause heat stress to your sperm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2\nVaricoceles<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"testicle<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

When\nyou’re seeing an enlarged vein in one or both of your testicles and it looks\nvery much like a varicose vein, you may want to have your doctor look at it.\nThat’s called a varicocele, and it’s actually one of the most common factors\nthat cause subnormal fertility in men. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately,\nvaricoceles don’t go away on their own. If that’s what’s making your sperm\ncount low, your doctor may need to surgically treat your varicocele. The thing\nabout varicoceles is that they cause your scrotal temperature to go up, thus\ncausing heat stress to your sperm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus,\nvaricoceles have also been found to greatly contribute to oxidative stress in\nthe testicles. Oxidative stress happens when the actions of free radicals and\nreactive oxygen species (ROS) are higher than your antioxidant capacity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3\nHigh Oxidative Stress Levels<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oxidative\nstress is also a significant factor in male infertility because of the damage\nthat they cause to the structural and functional integrity of your sperm.\nOxidative stress has been shown to cause damage to the DNA material contained\nwithin the sperm, and it can also cause poor sperm motility and impair your\nsperm’s ability to fuse with the egg cell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Causes\nof sperm oxidative stress include high scrotal temperature and chronic\nprostatitis. If you’re suffering from inflammation or an infection in any of\nthe organs in your genital area like your epididymis, testis, or seminal\nvesicles, it can also cause high oxidative stress levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
