It can be said that most of the work related to pregnancy is done by women, as they are responsible for raising the fetus for ten months, while men only need to provide sperm. However, in reality, the quality of male sperm directly affects the health and soundness of the baby, so when preparing for pregnancy, men should also actively undergo examinations.
Men need to undergo multiple tests to ensure sperm quality. Men undergo examinations mainly to identify infectious diseases and sperm problems that are not suitable for pregnancy. For example, men need to check their liver function, blood routine, and electrocardiogram to see if they have hepatitis, liver damage, heart disease, etc. If so, they need to be adjusted first. Also check the male urinary system to see whether men suffer from infectious diseases such as AIDS and syphilis.
At the same time, it is more important to examine male sperm to see if they liquefy, what their survival rate is, and whether their vitality and morphology are normal, including any abnormalities. Only men with good sperm vitality and relatively healthy sperm can ensure effective pregnancy. Sometimes it is necessary to check the male chromosome to avoid chromosomal abnormalities or deformities in the fetus.
Men should abstain from sexual activity for three to five days before undergoing a sperm test. Prolonged or insufficient abstinence can affect sperm testing. In addition to undergoing examinations, men preparing for pregnancy should also quit smoking and drinking, and refrain from smoking and drinking for at least three months before pregnancy. Eat a light diet, eat less greasy food, exercise moderately, and rest more.
