High uric acid levels can affect sperm quality

We all know that uric acid is a very important value for the human body. When many patients go to the hospital for urine tests, if the uric acid is high, the doctor will advise the patients to drink more water and eat more fruits, because if the uric acid is too high, it will affect some kidney diseases. And for men, high uric acid will also affect sperm. So will high uric acid affect sperm quality?

Uric acid is produced by the liver, bone marrow, and muscles of the human body, and is excreted from the body by the kidneys and digestive organs without being decomposed. The total amount of uric acid in an adult male is about 7 mmol, of which nearly half is excreted alternately every day. If the amount of production increases and the amount of excretion decreases, the concentration of uric acid in the blood will increase (the uric acid in the blood of a normal person should be less than 200 ml/dl), and hyperuricemia will occur.

High uric acid levels should alert you to the possibility of gout. If uric acid levels are just slightly high, adjust them through diet, such as quitting drinking, eating less greasy food, animal organs, seafood, etc. Drink more water, and eat more vegetables and fruits.

There is no connection between high uric acid and the pH value of sperm. Common causes of high uric acid levels include gout, kidney disease, and foods high in purine.

Suggestions: It is recommended to combine your own symptoms with auxiliary department examinations to see if it is related to gout. You can take colchicine to see if the symptoms disappear. In daily life, you should do more aerobic exercise, eat less meat, drink more water, eat more vegetarian food, and avoid drinking beer.

Medical research has found that timely treatment of high uric acid will not affect fertility. However, if it is not prevented in time, it will easily affect male fertility, so we should pay attention to it. Experts say that gout is a hyperuricemia disease and has no adverse effects on male sexual function, so men with high uric acid should have normal sexual function and fertility.

Patients with high uric acid levels are basically unable to have sex due to the high psychological pressure. Chronic gout develops into joint deformities, which can cause inconvenience or pain in the patient's sex life. If urinary stones, poor urine flow, and urinary tract obstruction occur, it is very easy to have urinary tract infection. At the same time, sexual intercourse is one of the inducements of this infection, so it is easy to develop renal insufficiency, which has a more obvious impact on sexual function.

The above introduces whether high uric acid will affect sperm quality. In fact, if high uric acid is not treated in time, it can affect sperm quality. We should go to a regular hospital for treatment as soon as possible after high uric acid occurs. Only in this way can the problem of high uric acid be cured in time. Therefore, we should pay attention to high uric acid diseases and seek treatment as soon as possible after discovering the disease.
