According to our African culture, a man is considered one if he has the ability to sire children. This is mostly determined by the strength of a man’s sperms. Sperm count and quality are very important in determining its strength. There are many things that put men at risk of infertility. Knowing what causes infertility is great as it will help a man avoid them. Here are common sperm killers in men:
Laptops
Laptops are very good as they make our work easier. However, there are many health problems associated with using laptops for long times. Placing your laptop on your laps has been known to affect a man’s sperm count and quality. The heat from laptops placed on a man’s laps affects various sperm parameters leading to high chances of infertility.
Sex toys
There are many ways men self-pleasure themselves. Using sex toys is one common thing men employ during their bedtimes with their partners. However, these toys affect their sperm count and quality without their knowledge. Certain types of sex toys are known for various defects such as allergies, birth defects, and even infertility.
Receipts
Receipts and credit cards are usually coated with the hormone bisphenol. This is a disrupting chemical which has been linked to many infertility problems. The more you use such receipts the more you lower your sperm count and quality.
Hot tubs
Hot tubs, hot baths, and spa treatments are very great. However, they are not good for men. Daily exposure to the above three could really affect your reproductive system. Heat on areas such as your scrotal has negative effects on your sperm count.
Mobile phones
How long do you use your mobile phones? Health professionals caution against the extended use of mobile phones as they could lead to medical problems. More so, storage of mobile phones in your trouser pockets could lead to infertility. Phones emit radiations which affect cells responsible for sperm development.
