Keep the sperm content offspring

Sperm quality is determined by the amount and quality of sperm to begin the process of fertilization. Therefore, it can be said that the number and quality of spermatozoa is an indicator of male fertility.

Sperm is short-lived and cannot divide. But after joining eggs, they can both become new organisms called zygotes


Get to know sperm
In general, the structure of sperm includes the head, body and tail. Every part of sperm has different functions and content, namely:


  • leader Consists of a circular solid chromatin fiber surrounded by acrosomes. This part contains an enzyme that is used to penetrate a woman's egg. During fertilization, the DNA contained in the head of the sperm will join the DNA of the egg.
  • body In this section, there are mitochondria, which are responsible for producing energy so that the tail can move.
  • tail The part that functions to move sperm to fill the egg cell.

DNA damage to sperm can damage or interfere with fetal growth. While the integrity of the sperm's tail, body and head structure determines its quality. If the sperm is immature or imperfect, the egg cannot be fertilized, so there is no pregnancy.

What should be done to make cement content normal?

Sperm is considered ideal if more than 50% of sperm is produced normally. Male fertility will decrease if the amount is less than that. In addition, sperm will be ideal if more than 50% of sperm can move about one hour after ejaculation. The speed of sperm movement is important for reaching the egg; fertilization can occur.

Normal sperm has a pH of around 7.2 to 7.8. Furthermore, the volume of sperm fluid (where sperm is stored) must be greater than 2 millimeters. Seminal fluid below this volume can affect the amount of sperm needed for fertilizing the egg. But excess sperm is also not good, because it shows that sperm is too liquid. Considered in terms of color, white and grayish semen is considered a healthy color.

There are simple ways to maintain the health of intimate organs and sperm content remains normal to support efforts to get offspring:

  • Avoid risky sexual behavior, wear condoms during sex to avoid sexually transmitted diseases.
  • Keep your penis clean.
  • Use loose and comfortable underwear to keep the temperature and testicular blood flow good.
  • Take care of your ideal body weight.
  • Exercise regularly.
  • Set a healthy diet and a balanced diet.
  • Stop smoking, consume alcoholic beverages, and consume illegal drugs.
  • Take vitamins or supplements that contain antioxidants according to your doctor's recommendations.
  • Manage stress well.
For men who try to have children, start getting used to a healthy lifestyle to maintain and improve sperm quality. If you have sperm or fertility problems, don't hesitate to consult a doctor to get the right treatment.

Treatment of obesity

Obesity can be treated through a weight loss program involving a nutritionist, endocrine doctor or psychiatrist. The initial goal of this program is to lose weight safely, about 3 to 5% of total body weight. As part of this program, patients are advised to change their diet and physical activity. However, this change must be adjusted to general health conditions, as well as obesity rates in patients. Weight loss programs include: Diet changes . This change aims to reduce calorie intake and adopt healthier eating habits. By reducing calorie intake, it is recommended that people reduce their energy intake by 600 calories per day. The recommended daily calorie intake for women is 1400 calories, while men are 1900 calories. The best way to do this is to replace high-calorie foods or drinks with a choice of high-fiber foods such as vegetables and fruits, and avoid foods that are high in salt and sugar, or foods or drinks with artificial sweeteners. Increase physical activity In addition to...

Changes in baby's skin color in yellow may be a symptom of carotenemia

Small skin tones suddenly turn yellow? Don't assume I'm jaundice first, Bun! Maybe he has carotenemia. Carotenemia is a disease characterized by yellowish skin color due to excessive levels of beta-carotene in the blood. This can happen when babies eat too much beta-carotene-rich food. Babies consume too much beta carotene In general, carotenemia occurs because babies eat too much beta-carotene-rich foods, such as carrots, potatoes, pumpkins, corn and egg yolks. This condition is usually felt only when the baby has started to consume complementary foods (MPASI), namely fruits and vegetables. In addition, babies who are breastfeeding can also suffer from carotenemia, you know! This happens if the mother consumes a lot of carotene-rich foods. Carotenemia is more easily detected in white babies. In babies with dark skin, discoloration may be more visible on the palms and soles of the feet. Because excess carotene is released by the sweat glands, the yellowing of the body is usual...

Means high and low blood glucose

Blood sugar is the amount of sugar or glucose in the blood. Even if it changes continuously, blood glucose must be kept within normal limits to avoid interference in the body. Blood sugar levels are influenced by nutrient intake in food or drinks, especially carbohydrates, as well as the amount of insulin and the body's sensitivity to insulin. High or low blood sugar levels will have a negative impact on your health in the short and long term. What happens if blood glucose is too high? Blood glucose is said to be too high if it exceeds 200 mg / dL. Hyperglycemia is the medical term for high blood glucose. Hyperglycemia can occur when the body does not have enough insulin, a hormone released by the pancreas. Insulin has the function of transmitting blood sugar to all cells of the body so that it can be converted into energy. High blood sugar levels can also occur if the body's cells are not sensitive to insulin, so that blood sugar cannot enter the cell for treatment. Diabetics ...
