Sperm malformation is a disease that many male friends encounter. As the name suggests, sperm malformation refers to the deviation of the shape of male sperm from its original tadpole like appearance, and instead becomes a top-heavy, strangely shaped abnormal sperm. Such sperm not only lacks vitality, but also reduces the chance of conception. But some male friends are very concerned about this phenomenon, fearing that sperm abnormalities may have other impacts, especially in terms of fetal quality. So will the deformity of sperm lead to the deformity of children?

1、 Etiology of sperm malformation

Sperm abnormalities can be divided into head, body, and tail deformities, which are caused by unhealthy lifestyle habits such as smoking and drinking. Environmental factors should also be considered. If exposed to radiation pollution or chemical materials for a long time, it can also cause sperm abnormalities. It is even believed to be caused by some diseases, such as orchitis and varicocele. Some patients have a certain relationship with their profession, such as long-term sitting, driving, and other reasons that cause high testicular temperature, which can also lead to sperm abnormalities. The use of electronic products in daily life is becoming increasingly frequent. When we are surrounded by electronic products, we should be vigilant about the effects of electromagnetic radiation on our bodies, especially on fragile sperm. A mobile phone that is often kept in your pocket and infinitely close to a safe place for sperm may have an impact on the production of healthy sperm. So it is best for men who have plans to have children to reduce their exposure to electromagnetic radiation.

2、 Can Sperm Deformities Cause Child Deformities?

Sperm malformations do not become fetal malformations, and abnormal sperm and eggs do not combine to produce a fetus. Sperm malformations may affect pregnancy rate, but have little impact on fetal development. Generally speaking, the pregnancy rate of patients with abnormal sperm is very low. Patients can undergo good prenatal examinations, such as ultrasound, color Doppler ultrasound, etc., which can effectively screen for abnormalities and provide timely treatment. Sperm malformation and sperm fetal malformation are completely two concepts. There is currently no evidence to suggest that sperm abnormalities can cause fetal malformations. Low sperm quality generally has no impact on the fetus, as only A-grade sperm and the best sperm can reach the uterus, fallopian tubes, and combine with the egg. Abnormal sperm and poor sperm often cannot combine this part with the egg, so generally speaking, this combination is a combination of good sperm and high-quality sperm with the egg.

3、 Sperm malformation treatment

Regarding the treatment of sperm abnormalities, first of all, patients should have a correct understanding of sperm abnormalities and not mistakenly assume that a high rate of sperm abnormalities prevents pregnancy; Secondly, it is important to actively identify the reasons and determine whether they have a negative impact on the work environment and lifestyle. If there are, it is necessary to make every effort to correct them, such as quitting smoking and drinking, and controlling inflammation as much as possible when there are diseases that can cause deformities. In addition, patients can adjust their diet in daily life, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, supplement trace elements and high protein foods, such as fish and shrimp. In addition, if patients want to quickly correct deformities, they can also use antioxidant drugs.

Overall, sperm abnormalities do not affect children, as deformed sperm cannot swim to the side of the egg, and naturally cannot cause fetal abnormalities. And even if abnormal sperm and egg combine, the abnormality of sperm is not necessarily related to the genetic material it contains, so it will not cause sperm abnormality at all!
