Men's preparations before pregnancy

Giving birth to a healthy baby requires the joint efforts of both mom and dad. Do you guys know what preparations men should make before a woman gives birth? If you think more, your baby will be healthier and smarter. Let me introduce to you in detail the preparations men should make before pregnancy.

1. Treat urinary system diseases

In the male reproductive organs, the testicles are the "factory" that produces sperm, the epididymal cyst is the "warehouse" that stores sperm, the ejaculatory duct is the "hub", the sperm flexure and veins are the "transportation lines" of logistics supply, and semen is the "lubricant" that is essential for transporting sperm. If there is a problem in any of these stages, it will affect the production and transportation of sperm. For example, sexually transmitted diseases such as syphilis and gonorrhea will affect the transformation, growth and activity of sperm, and diseases such as prostatitis, varicose veins, and tuberculosis can lead to infertility and require early treatment.

2. Heat insulation

The temperature of the testicles should be lower than the temperature of other parts of the human body, so that normal sperm can be produced. Sperm has strict temperature requirements and must be lower than the body temperature to grow and develop normally. Too high a temperature can kill sperm, or be detrimental to sperm growth and development, and even reduce sperm motility too much and cause infertility. According to data statistics, a large number of male infertility is caused by testicular temperatures higher than normal. Therefore, try to reduce factors that cause testicular temperature to rise, such as long-term cycling, long-term sitting, wearing tight pants, taking a sauna, and taking a bath with super-hot water.

3. Moderate married life

Excessive sexual indulgence will inevitably lead to a lack of sperm, and the total number and quality of sperm will also be relatively reduced. Less sexual intercourse will reduce the basic metabolism of sperm, which may lead to dead sperm or excessive sperm aging. Therefore, it is generally enough to have sex once every 2 to 3 days.

4. Prevent contact with harmful objects

Many physical, organic, and microbiological substances can cause sperm abnormalities or chromosome abnormalities, such as lead, benzene, xylene, gasoline, vinyl chloride, X-rays, and other radioactive elements, fertilizers, herbicides, and anesthetics, which can all cause fetal deformities. If you are exposed to fertilizers, pesticides, sulfur dioxide, copper, cadmium, mercury, zinc, and other harmful substances for too long, the body content can generally be basically eliminated after 6 months to 1 year after the contact stops, and it is not suitable to get pregnant during this period.

5. Get rid of bad habits

Smoking, drinking, and taking drugs not only affect physical and mental health, but also reduce the quality of sperm. Excessive drinking can cause changes in the shape and activity of sperm, and even kill sperm, which in turn affects pregnancy and embryo development, and the incidence of congenital mental retardation and malformed fetuses is relatively increased. With the increase in smoking, the incidence of abnormal sperm has shown a significant increase, and the activity of sperm has shown a significant decrease. Under normal circumstances, the husband needs to quit smoking and drinking 2 to 3 months before pregnancy, so that there will be enough time to produce high-quality sperm.
