What should men check before pregnancy?

In modern life, people pay more and more attention to eugenics, which roughly means to let their babies get ahead at the "starting line". Prenatal checkups before pregnancy have become a must for many people, but many people don't know that men also need to do some examinations during pregnancy preparation. Let me introduce it to you below. What should men check before pregnancy preparation?

First, what should men check before preparing for pregnancy? TTM is a systemic disease screening, which conducts preliminary disease screening on the whole body, detects physical abnormalities in time, and provides health management guidance to ensure the health of the prospective father. Semen examination is the most important item in men's pre-pregnancy examination. The quality of men's semen affects the quality of fertilized eggs, which is mainly determined by the color, vitality, deformity rate, liquefaction, concentration, etc. of semen. If a man has not had a physical examination for a long time, or has suffered from infectious diseases, men with a history of existing diseases should also be screened for tuberculosis, liver disease, AIDS and other diseases during pre-pregnancy examinations to ensure the health of the fetus.

Second, check whether there is infection in the reproductive tract or disease in the reproductive organs. Men with a family history of genetic diseases or whose wives are type O blood should also undergo chromosome and blood type tests. Blood type tests are necessary because if a woman has type O blood and a man has type A or B blood, ABO hemolysis may occur. A fetus with ABO hemolysis will have symptoms such as jaundice and anemia, but the incidence of this condition is very low, less than one in ten thousand.

What should men check before preparing for pregnancy? Men should also quit smoking early: the harmful components in tobacco will enter the human reproductive system through the blood circulation, causing direct or indirect toxic effects. The prospective father should start to quit smoking 3 to 6 months before preparing for pregnancy. Smoking will affect the success rate of conception and seriously affect the quality of fertilized eggs and embryos. Long-term and heavy smoking can easily cause sexual dysfunction and indirectly reduce fertility. Abstain from alcohol: Alcoholism can cause alcohol poisoning in the body, affect the reproductive system, and then reduce the number of sperm and reduce vitality. It causes sperm deformity, increases the probability of sperm death, and affects conception and embryo development. For the health of the child, men should abstain from alcohol before conception.
