Especially for Men

Artificial sweeteners, tub and sauna, close-fitting trousers and constantly heat the car seat reduces sperm quality. Also remember that a fever of 38 degrees Celsius or more decreases sperm quality and especially sperm ability to fertilize the egg in 3 months afterwards. We cannot see it in the semen sample, so remember to tell us! Maybe we have to cancel the treatment and wait until the semen quality is normal again.

Smoking plays a minor role in male fertility, if he has a normal semen quality. If the man has reduced semen quality, he should also stop smoking, since tar and cadmium in smoke destroys sperm DNA (genetic material). A multivitamin tablet with minerals and folic acid (0.4 mg) daily is good for men with reduced semen quality.

Underweight and overweight, large quantities of alcohol, too little exercise, chemicals, radioactive radiation and medicines also can affect the fertility of the man.
