How are eggs formed and how to improve their quality

Wanting a healthy and smart baby is the wish of every expectant father and mother. Many people, especially fathers, will improve the quality of their bodies to improve the quality of sperm before preparing for pregnancy. In fact, women's eggs are also very important. The quality of eggs is also important in determining the health of the baby. However, many people do not know how the eggs are formed. Let us learn about it below.

The ovaries of girls have already formed their embryonic form at about 3-6 weeks of gestation. Before birth, millions of oocytes have been formed in the ovaries. After childhood and adolescence, there are only about 100,000 oocytes left in adulthood. Oocytes are wrapped in primordial follicles. Under the influence of sex hormones, only one primordial follicle matures every month, and the mature eggs are discharged from the ovaries into the abdominal cavity. Generally speaking, a woman matures about 300-400 eggs in her lifetime, and the rest of the oocytes die on their own.

An egg can survive for about 48 hours after being released, waiting to meet and combine with sperm during these 48 hours. If the egg cannot meet with sperm to form a fertilized egg due to various reasons after being released, it will die naturally after 48 to 72 hours. If you lose the opportunity for fertilization, you have to wait until another egg matures and is released one month later, and repeat the same process.

1. Avoid sexual intercourse during menstruation: Sexual intercourse during menstruation can cause a decrease in egg quality. Sexual intercourse during menstruation can stimulate the body to produce anti-sperm antibodies, induce pelvic infection, endometriosis, etc., thereby affecting the quality of eggs.

2. Exercise more: It is important to participate in some physical exercise appropriately, such as jogging, soft gymnastics, swimming, Tai Chi, etc., which can improve the quality of eggs.

3. Avoid excessive fatigue: adjust your daily life, avoid excessive fatigue, and try to stay up late as little as possible to avoid affecting the quality of eggs. A regular schedule helps maintain the ovaries.

4. Adjust your mood: According to research, when the stress is too great, the body will produce a large amount of "anxiety hormone", which will cause endocrine disorders and affect the ovarian ovulation function.

5. Adjust your diet: try to quit smoking and drinking, and avoid overeating. To improve sperm quality, you can eat more black beans, soy milk, boiled fish soup and other foods in moderation, and also eat more vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins.

6. Stay away from radiation: There may be electromagnetic radiation around computers and mobile phones when they are running. Although the intensity of their emissions is very weak, in order to ensure the health of the eggs, it is recommended to use them as little as possible during rest time.
