Men prepare before getting pregnant

Giving birth to a healthy baby requires the joint efforts of both parents. Guys, do you know what preparations should be made by boys before a woman gives birth? Only by thinking more about yourself can the baby be healthier and smarter. Let me introduce to you the preparations that boys need to make before getting pregnant.

1. Treat urinary system diseases

In the male genitals, the male testis is the "processing factory" that produces male sperm, the epididymal cyst is the "warehouse" that stores male sperm, the ejaculatory duct is the "hub station", the spermatic arteries and veins are the "transportation lines" for logistics supply, and semen is the indispensable "lubricant" for transporting male sperm. If there is a problem at any of these stages, it will affect the production and transportation of male sperm. For example, sexually transmitted diseases such as syphilis and gonorrhea can affect the production, growth and mobility of male sperm. Diseases such as prostatitis, spermatic varicose veins, and tuberculosis can cause infertility and require early treatment.

2. Heat insulation

The temperature of the male 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. It must be lower than body temperature in order to grow normally. Excessive temperature can kill sperm, or be detrimental to sperm growth, or even reduce sperm motility too much and cause infertility. According to statistical analysis, a large number of male infertility cases are caused by the temperature of the testicles being higher than the normal temperature. Therefore, it is necessary to minimize the factors that cause the temperature of male testicles to rise, such as riding a bicycle for a long time, sitting for a long time, wearing tight pants, taking a sauna, and taking a bath with super-temperature water.

3. Moderate married life

Excessive indulgence will inevitably lead to scarcity of sperm, and the total number and quality of male sperm will also be relatively reduced. Less sexual life will reduce the basal metabolism of male sperm, which can lead to dead sperm or excessive brittleness of male sperm. Therefore, usually once every 2 to 3 days is enough.

4. Prevent contact with harmful substances

Many physics, organic chemistry, and microorganisms can cause abnormal sperm or chromosomal abnormalities, such as lead, benzene, xylene, gasoline, vinyl chloride, X-rays and other radioactive elements, chemical fertilizers, herbicides, anesthetics, etc., which can cause abnormal fetuses. If you are exposed to chemical fertilizers, pesticides, sulfur dioxide, copper, cadmium, mercury, zinc and other harmful substances for too long, the body levels will generally be basically eliminated 6 months to 1 year after the exposure is terminated. It is not suitable to get pregnant during this period.

5. Get rid of bad habits

Smoking, alcoholism, and drug use not only affect physical and mental health, but also reduce sperm quality. Drinking too much alcohol can cause changes in the shape and mobility of sperm, and even kill male sperm, which will affect pregnancy and embryonic development, and the incidence of mental retardation and fetal abnormalities will be relatively increased. As the amount of cigarette smoking increases, abnormal spermatozoa show a significant increase and development trend, and male sperm motility shows a significant decrease and development trend. Generally speaking, husbands need to quit drinking and smoking 2 to 3 months before pregnancy, so that they can have enough time to produce high-quality sperm.
