During the preparation for giving birth, some behaviors may weaken the quality of the pregnancy preparation, resulting in poor conditions for the baby after pregnancy. CT is one of the ways to diagnose certain diseases in medicine. If men undergo CT, they may doubt whether it will have an impact on their future babies. So, can men prepare for pregnancy by taking CT?
Can a man prepare for pregnancy by taking a CT scan
Having a CT scan may have certain radiation effects on the body. If you plan to conceive, you can consider waiting for a few more months because CT scans carry certain radiation, especially destructive to the testicles and sperm, which can cause chromosomal abnormalities and headless sperm. Therefore, men who have been exposed to CT scans should not conceive in the short term, and it is best to consider fertility after 6-9 months.
What do men need to do to prepare for pregnancy
1. Men should avoid drinking, smoking, and coffee in the first six months of pregnancy, stay up all night, and pay attention to going to bed early and maintaining a balanced diet.
2. Conduct pre pregnancy examinations. Take some time to see a doctor, especially if you have chronic diseases, are taking certain medications, or have issues such as erectile dysfunction, ejaculation disorders, or lack of sexual desire.
3. The most important thing is to ask if there is anyone in the family with genetic or chromosomal abnormalities, such as Down syndrome, sickle cell anemia, cystic fibrosis, familial melanocytic idiocy, or hemorrhagic diseases. At the same time, it should be clarified whether any relatives have intellectual disabilities or other developmental delays, or have congenital birth defects such as heart or neural tube defects.
Men's preconception also has a significant impact on the birth of their children. If a CT scan is performed, it is best not to have a child immediately. However, if you already have a child, do not abort it immediately. You should consult a doctor and do a good job in the examination. I believe that all parents will have a healthy baby someday in the future.
