Men's pre-pregnancy check-up, three items are essential

If preparing for pregnancy is a battle, then men must be the protagonists. In order to ensure the birth of a healthy baby, men must go to a regular hospital for a detailed checkup before preparing for pregnancy. However, many young men do not understand this aspect, so they do not know which checkups must be done. The following are three checkups that men must do when preparing for pregnancy.

1. Semen examination

The most important pre-pregnancy checkup for men is semen examination. Through semen examination, we can know the sperm motility, whether there are oligosperms or asthenosperms, deformity rate, mortality rate, whether there is prostatitis, etc., and make corresponding suggestions and decide whether to use assisted reproductive technology.

2. Urinary system examination

Problems with the male urinary and reproductive system have a great impact on the health of the next generation, so examination of this private part is essential. If you think there may be problems with your testicular development, you must first ask your parents whether you have ever had mumps when you were a child, whether you have ever had secret testicles, testicular trauma and surgery, testicular pain and swelling, hydrocele, oblique hernia, urethral discharge, etc. Provide this information to the doctor and consult carefully.

3. Physical examination

If you haven't had a physical examination for several years or haven't had a pre-marital examination, then it is also necessary to check for infectious diseases such as hepatitis, syphilis, and AIDS. The doctor will also ask in detail about the person being examined and their family's previous health conditions, what diseases they have had, how they were treated, etc., especially mental illnesses, genetic diseases, etc., and if necessary, ask for chromosome and blood type tests.
