Fat men with phlegm may be at risk of infertility

　　The ancient Chinese medicine book "Syndrome Differentiation Record" once recorded: "There are six diseases in men who are infertile. What are the six diseases? One is cold essence, the other is weak Qi, the third is excessive phlegm, the fourth phase is excessive fire, the fifth is sparse essence, and the sixth is stagnation of Qi."

　　Phlegm-damp constitution

　　In traditional Chinese medicine, excessive phlegm refers not only to excessive phlegm, but also to phlegm evil. Most people with excessive phlegm tend to eat heavy foods, abuse nutritional supplements, and suffer from imbalances in daily life and rest, which may impair their digestion and absorption functions, resulting in excess energy being unable to be metabolized and causing accumulation of stagnation, forming what is called phlegm evil in traditional Chinese medicine. This type of body constitution is also called a phlegm-dampness constitution.

　　In traditional Chinese medicine, it is said that "fat people have more phlegm and dampness", which means that relatively obese people generally have a phlegm-dampness constitution. Not only do they have a lot of phlegm, but they may also have a potbelly, loose fat, abdominal distension and chest tightness, greasy and dry mouth, and are easily tired and prone to heat.

　　Obese people mostly have phlegm-dampness constitution

　　Obese men have more fat, so they often have a higher body temperature than normal people. If the temperature in the scrotum is too high, it will directly affect the spermatogenic ability of the testicles, causing sperm The quantity or quality of production decreases. Obesity may also cause diabetes or hidden diabetes, which can also cause damage to sperm, thus affecting male of fertility.

　　In addition to this, obesity can lead to a decrease in libido and increase the likelihood of erectile dysfunction. Chinese medicine believes that "most strange diseases are caused by phlegm", so many sexual and reproductive problems that cannot be cured after a long time and have complex causes may be caused by long-term blood stasis in the body, poor Qi movement, and retention of body fluids to form phlegm. Therefore, friends with phlegm-dampness constitution should especially strengthen their exercise , pay attention to your diet.
