    Men should take folic acid for three months to prepare for pregnancy, mainly oral folic acid tablets in the first three months of pregnancy.

    Men taking folic acid tablets and women taking folic acid tablets during pregnancy preparation can reduce the chance of fetal malformations and are beneficial to prenatal and postnatal care, but they need to follow the guidance of a doctor and take oral folic acid tablets according to a regular course of treatment. Folic acid tablets usually need to be taken at the same time every day to achieve better results.

    There are also many things to pay attention to when preparing for pregnancy. Usually, you must resolutely quit smoking and drinking. Smoking and drinking will affect the quality of sperm and also affect the decline of sperm count. At the same time, you must develop a good work and rest routine to avoid physical fatigue and maintain a good mood.
