Nurturing a child is a top priority for a family, especially for men, who do not contribute a healthy sperm. There are many things that men need to pay attention to before pregnancy. Below, I will explain some of them in detail.
What diseases should men undergo during pregnancy preparation
Abnormal sperm quality
A normal male ejaculation volume of 2-6 milliliters per ejaculation, less than 1 milliliter or more than 6 milliliters, has a certain impact on fertility. Under normal circumstances, the number of sperm should be (50-100) × 106 per milliliter, if the number of sperm per milliliter of semen is less than 20 × 106 per milliliter can cause male infertility.
Having sexual intercourse the next day during ovulation can increase the chances of conception, and the quality of sperm is the best.
Sperm motility is generally divided into 5 levels, with level 0 indicating no active sperm, which remains inactive even after heating; Level 1 indicates poor sperm motility and no forward movement; Level 2 indicates good sperm activity and slow waveform movement; Level 3 indicates rapid sperm movement, but with more waveform movements; Level 4 indicates that sperm generally move rapidly in a straight line. Normal sperm motility is generally greater than level 3, and when level 0 and level 1 sperm account for more than 40% of a single ejaculation, it constitutes the cause of male infertility.
Prostatitis
Many young men believe that prostatitis is a disease of elderly men and has little to do with themselves. Actually, being young is not a guarantee that the prostate will not become inflamed.
Gonococcal urethritis
Men suffer from sexually transmitted diseases, which may not have obvious symptoms in the early stages, but can be transmitted to their wives. Therefore, it is necessary for both spouses to undergo a reproductive and urinary system disease examination before pregnancy. Gonorrhea is a contagious disease that can be transmitted between couples. Genital infections on both sides have an impact on the fetus, with a greater impact on women. It is recommended that both parties undergo comprehensive reproductive health checks, and everything is normal to ensure the future health of the fetus.
Abdominal diseases
Fatty liver, chronic liver diseases (mainly hepatitis B or hepatitis B virus carriers), alcoholic liver, gastritis, gastroduodenal ulcer, colitis, etc. Before becoming a prospective father, it is necessary to identify abdominal diseases and seek treatment before considering childbirth.
Male pregnancy preparation period should pay attention to the following four points
1. Healthy diet
Eat more: poultry meat; Animal liver, such as chicken, pork loin, and pig tail; Seafood products, such as the white gonads of male carp, gelatin, scallops, abalone, sea cucumber, dried sand worms, and dried shrimp, are rich in zinc, selenium, and high-quality protein. Fresh fruits and vegetables, such as tomatoes, leeks, black beans, and sweet potatoes, as well as traditional Chinese medicine, such as ginseng, astragalus, angelica, morinda, eucommia ulmoides, lotus seeds, wolfberry, cistanche, and winter caterpillar fungus, are consumed under the guidance of a doctor.
2. Appropriate exercise
Persisting in exercise is beneficial for enhancing physical fitness, enhancing immunity, promoting metabolism, reducing the risk of illness, relieving stress, and maintaining optimal pregnancy preparation. During pregnancy preparation, it is advisable to exercise 3-4 times a week for 1-2 hours each time.
3. Work and rest on time
Before preparing for pregnancy, try to rest before 11 pm and maintain sufficient sleep and sleep quality every day.
4. Self examination of semen condition
When the semen volume is less than 1ml, or the semen is clear and thin, and there is no sense of warmth, odor, thick and non liquefaction, yellow and turbid color, blood sperm is visible to the naked eye, ejaculation is not allowed, retrograde ejaculation (ejaculation is felt without ejaculation, semen flows into the bladder), ejaculation pain and other conditions, the patient should be diagnosed immediately.
Attention to Exercise during Male Pregnancy Preparation
1. Men under high pressure can consider exercising for 30-45 minutes every day to avoid fatigue. When exercising, loose clothing should be worn to help dissipate heat.
2. Intense running or long-distance cycling is not suitable for pregnant men. It will raise the temperature of testicles, destroy the cool environment required for sperm growth, and reduce sperm motility. Therefore, exercise should be moderate and not too intense.
3. Long term cycling can also put fragile testicular vesicles and blood vessels at risk. Therefore, it is recommended to wear padded shorts and choose a bicycle with good shock absorption function when cycling.
4. When the weather is good, it's a great choice to accompany your partner on outdoor outings and mountain climbing. Feeling the sunshine and clear springs is the most environmentally friendly and relaxing way of leisure exercise, which is very helpful for cultivating marital relationships.
For the sake of children's health, expectant fathers must achieve the above points in order to better conceive and nurture their children, and give them a healthy physique.
