Nowadays, couples usually prepare for pregnancy before having children, so a detailed physical examination should be conducted at this time. And both men and women need to be checked, because pregnancy is not just a matter for women, so the check ups for male friends are also very important. So, what tests should men do before pregnancy?
Male friends also need to undergo examinations before pregnancy, and there are many items that need to be checked. The most basic examination items include semen routine, prostate fluid examination, and bilateral scrotal ultrasound examination. In addition, blood routine, liver and kidney function, and anti sperm antibody tests are also required.
The purpose of conducting prostate fluid examination is to confirm whether a woman has prostate diseases. If men suffer from prostate diseases, it is easy to cause abnormal sperm, which can reduce the fertility rate and may also lead to infertility. So for prostate diseases, timely treatment is necessary to avoid affecting fertility.
Semen routine examination is an important examination item during the preconception period. Doctors will evaluate sperm quantity, sperm vitality, and survival rate, as well as examine sperm morphology, pH value, liquefaction time, and forward movement ability. These are closely related to fertility, and if abnormalities occur, it may lead to male infertility. Men can exclude diseases such as testicular, epididymal, and vas deferens by undergoing scrotal ultrasound.
