Do you often wear tight underwear? From now on better stop doing that habit. According to research, it is possible that tight underwear can affect your fertility.
Many factors affect a person's fertility rate. Age, stress level, environment, nutrition and weight are some of them. Lifestyles such as smoking, consuming alcohol and wearing tight underwear are also thought to contribute to the quality of human fertility. More and more research is being done on this subject showing that lifestyle changes have a significant impact on fertility.
How Tight Panties Affect Male Fertility
To get quality sperm, the temperature of the testicles must be lower than your core body temperature. That is why the testes are outside the body cavity to keep the temperature low or cold. However, wearing tight underwear can cause the temperature of the testicles to increase or become hotter.
Research shows someone who wears tight underwear has a greater risk of decreased sperm quality compared to those who wear tight-fitting or loose-fitting underwear.
It is recommended for men to wear loose pants, if you want to have quality sperm to make it easier to have offspring. This also applies to underwear. It is recommended to wear boxer shorts as inner and outer pants that are not tight in order to keep the temperature of the testicles cool while making you more comfortable.
But quality sperm cannot be obtained within 1-2 days after you start wearing looser pants. The sperm you produce today was formed about 3 months ago.
Tips for Fixed Testicular Temperature Stable
There are several things you can do to keep the testicular temperature stable, such as:
- Avoid wearing tight-fitting trousers, especially if your activity requires you to sit for long periods of time. Also avoid tight pants when exercising.
- Arriving at home, immediately take off your trousers to lower the temperature of the testicles.
- Avoid soaking in warm water and saunas.
In addition to choosing the right underwear, a man's fertility can also be increased by eating foods that are healthy for sperm. Foods that are good for sperm are foods that contain vitamin D, antioxidants, folic acid, zinc and selenium.
You also need to live a healthy lifestyle, for example by not smoking. One of the dangers of smoking is interference with the reproductive system, which causes less sperm production. In fact, smoking can also damage sperm and affect their movement.
In addition, consuming excessive alcohol can also affect your sperm. Research shows that drinking alcohol in excess can trigger impotence and reduce your sperm count. Therefore, start to stop smoking and drinking alcohol for better sperm quality.
If you have been wearing the recommended underwear and running a lifestyle that can increase fertility, but the expected pregnancy does not occur, you should immediately consult a doctor.
