Dr. Luo Yong
Sperm viability may be associated with the following factors:
1. Unhealthy lifestyle habits, such as chronic sleep deprivation, smoking, alcohol consumption, and high work-related stress.
2. Prolonged occupational exposure to high temperatures or frequent sauna use—elevated temperatures can impair or kill sperm.
3. Genitourinary tract infections or inflammatory conditions, such as prostatitis, orchitis, or epididymitis.
