The Influence of Male Elderly Childbearing on Reproductive System

With the progress of society and the change of ideas, more and more men choose to meet their children at an advanced age. However, the elderly male childbearing will not only have an impact on individual physical and mental health, but also bring a series of changes and risks to their reproductive system. This article will elaborate on the influence of old male fertility on the reproductive system from four aspects: sperm quality, sexual function, testicular health and genital diseases.

1. Sperm quality

Research shows that the quality of male sperm will decline with age. The number of sperm in the semen of the elderly father will be reduced, and the vitality and mobility will also be reduced. This means that the chance of pregnancy will be significantly reduced, and it will also increase the risk of birth defects and genetic diseases. Therefore, when choosing to give birth at an advanced age, men should be aware of the problems that their sperm quality may bring to fertility.

In addition, the decline in sperm quality may also lead to infertility. With the increase of age, the risk of male sperm DNA damage will also increase, which will affect sperm fertilization ability and embryonic development.

2. Sexual function

Older men also have an impact on sexual function. With the growth of age, men's sexual desire and sexual function will gradually decline. This is mainly due to the decline in androgen levels and poor blood circulation. The decline of sexual function may lead to a decrease in the frequency of sexual life, thus affecting the chance of pregnancy.

In addition, some studies also found that the risk of erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation in older men would also increase. All of these problems may bring troubles to childbearing and even affect the relationship between husband and wife.

3. Testis health

Testis is an important organ in male reproductive system that produces sperm and androgen. With the increase of age, testicular function will gradually decline. The study found that the number and vitality of spermatogenic cells in the testicular tissue of older men will decrease, and the connective tissue in the testicle will increase. Therefore, older men who give birth often face the risk of testicular dysfunction and testicular tissue lesions.

In addition, the temperature of testis will increase with age. Excessive testicular temperature will affect the normal development and survival of sperm, thus affecting fertility.

4. Diseases of reproductive organs

The risk of male genital diseases increases with age. For example, BPH may cause dysuria and frequent urination, and the incidence of prostate cancer and testicular cancer increases with age. These diseases may affect fertility and bring health risks to the children of elderly fathers.

Summary

The elderly male fertility has a significant impact on the reproductive system. The decline of sperm quality will reduce the chance of pregnancy and increase the risk of genetic diseases. The decline of sexual function may lead to infertility and marital problems. Decreased testicular function and tissue lesions will affect fertility. The risk of genital diseases will also increase. Therefore, men should fully understand and consider these effects when choosing to give birth at an advanced age, and seek the advice and guidance of doctors to ensure their own and children's health.
