The secretory fluid of a man should always have the correct viscosity and composition, if there is any violation in it, then successful fertilization can not be expected. You can determine the state of sperm through a special analysis - spermogram. Sperm must be distinguished by the correct structure, motility and shape. Spermogram helps determine the composition of sperm, as well as an indicator of sperm motility. If any problems have been identified, then it is important to eliminate them as quickly as possible. How to do this and how much time it takes to restore sperm in a particular case, read on ..
Secretion fluid change
There are many reasons that can lead to changes in the reproductive system of men. The state of a man’s ejaculatory fluid directly depends on his health, lifestyle, diet, environmental conditions in the place of residence, and mental health status. Most often, after intercourse without contraception, sperm continues to maintain their vital activity for the next three days, which is why experts advise repeating sexual intercourse every 3 days during ovulation in a woman.
How much sperm recovery is needed? In a healthy man, the seminal fluid after orgasm continues to recover for one hour.
Specialists identified groups of factors that change sperm counts and affect its recovery time:
- Qualitative and quantitative indicators of ejaculate. All the main characteristics of sperm are detected with the help of analyzes: the color, acidity indicator, ejaculate quantity, its viscosity, liquefaction rate, total density, sperm count, their motility and possible disturbances in the structure of gametes are determined.
- The influence of thermal factors on the male reproductive system - high temperatures negatively affect sperm. To normal temperature carry an indicator of 32 degrees Celsius.
- STDs - chlamydia and other organ damage that lead to a risk of infertility.
- Chemical effect - excessive use of alcohol, drugs, tobacco, which negatively affects the state of sperm.
- An improperly prepared diet is a lack of consumed food of zinc, selenium, vitamin B12, E. All this affects the recovery time of male germ cells.
It is also important to remember that the frequent use of lubricants (lubricants) during intercourse adversely affects the quality of the ejaculate. If there are any difficulties, the patient undergoes a diagnosis, on the basis of which the attending specialist accurately determines how to conduct a quick recovery of sperm.
Spermogram
To identify the factors that led to a decrease in the recovery rate of the ejaculate, the doctor sends the patient to conduct spermograms.
The standard spermogram includes the definition of the following characteristics:
- macroscopic - gives chemical-physical indicators (features of consistency, color, smell, viscosity index, acidity, liquefaction time);
- microscopic - shows sperm aggregation and the cell element: features of the structure of cells, the number of immature, as well as abnormal forms.
Timely examination helps doctors determine the possible infertility in the patient, to establish violations in the hormonal system, diseases and injuries. Spermogram helps restore the reproductive system and improve the patient's condition.
Analysis Preparation
To get accurate test results, you need to follow some rules when submitting biomaterials to the laboratory:
- on the day of testing, you need to wash the genitals well, rinse the urination hole thoroughly with warm water and soap - this is important for the accuracy of the results;
- 4 days before the delivery of the biomaterial, it is important to temporarily stop sexual activity, stop drinking alcohol, tobacco, medicines, and also do not visit the bathhouse;
- sperm collection is carried out through masturbation, it is important to pick up the entire ejaculate, while you can not touch the inner walls of the container.
It is important to remember that if the patient decided to independently collect sperm at home, then he should bring it to the laboratory in the next hour.
But not all clinics are ready to accept the delivered biomaterial for analysis. This is because the patient may not ejaculate properly and the analysis may be incorrect. The clinic provides all the conditions that help to achieve the maximum effect for both the physical and psychological state of the patient.
Condition improvement
How to restore sperm after anesthesia or another disease? Protein is the main element that helps to produce sperm. Experts advise to restore the activity of gametes by improving nutrition, folk remedies and medicines.
Nutrition improvement
If there are problems with sperm, doctors advise to include as many foods as possible with a high content of vitamins C, B, E and A.
It is these vitamins that help male sex cells recover faster, and also extend their lifespan. List of important sperm recovery products:
- fish;
- vegetables and fruits;
- sea kale;
- cottage cheese;
- seeds from different vegetables;
- oysters
- dark chocolate and cocoa.
European scientists have been able to prove that a well-composed healthy diet helps restore ejaculate and improve sperm counts for seven days. It is also important to completely stop drinking alcohol, beer, including non-alcoholic brands.
Medication
With the help of special medications prescribed by a doctor, sperm receive maximum speed and proper movement. It is important to remember that all medications should be prescribed only by the attending physicians and only after a full diagnosis. Common medications for sperm recovery:
- Folic acid - can be taken as tablets or as food. The drug is prescribed 4 months before the planned conception of the child.
- Reception of dietary supplements - natural supplements that help increase sperm activity. The most common drugs in treatment include Spermactin, Viardo, Tribestan, Spermaplant.
Sperm can worsen after surgery or a course of chemotherapy. Such procedures adversely affect reproductive processes and may result in partial or complete infertility.
How long does it take to restore sperm? Particularly quickly, sperm cells begin to recover after playing sports and physical activity. Experts advise to perform all exercises on the street, as this will ensure the rapid recovery of male cells and improve blood circulation.
Spermogram results can be improved by using complex methods to combat the problem. A visit to the attending physician, conducting diagnostics, following all the tips and taking medications will help to quickly restore sperm and improve the general condition of the patient.
Additional factors
The possibility of fertilization determines a large number of factors, including the quality of sperm, which is released at the time of ejaculation during intercourse. The number of sperm in this case may be different, which will not affect the possibility of fertilization.
It is very important to pay attention to your wardrobe, especially with regard to trousers and underwear, as well as clothing that is worn on your feet. For the testicles, it is important to create a special temperature regime (it should not be lower than the temperature of the whole body) - this is important for normal sperm formation. For this reason, you need to choose briefs with free edges, and get rid of tight models. It is tight-fitting things that can reduce the possibility of conception. Also, this can lead to prolonged exposure to a hot shower.
A long stay behind a computer monitor leads to the exposure of the body to harmful rays. An additional reason for the deterioration of spermatogenesis is a prolonged sitting position. It is in this position that normal blood circulation in the pelvis is disturbed. Organ tissues suffer from a lack of oxygen, the sex glands cease to function at a given pace. The production of active and healthy male germ cells is deteriorating.
Chronic diseases
It is important for patients with chronic diseases to consult a treating specialist, to receive clear instructions on which drugs are allowed and which are not. Even taking a simple pill for a headache can worsen sperm production. But the main danger lies in the fact that when taking certain antibiotics, hormonal drugs, anti-asthma drugs, sperm does not recover at all.
Medicines
Of particular importance should be given to drugs that include testosterone in their composition. Often, these medications are prescribed to improve and restore sperm production. But you need to remember that taking such drugs can provoke a castration effect. It occurs because in the brain, with an increase in the amount of male hormone, a signal is transmitted to the endocrine and sexual glands to stop the process of their production.
