What men need to pay attention to in order to prepare for pregnancy

It is very important for a family to have a healthy baby, and it is not only for the mother-to-be, but also for the father-to-be to influence the factors.

Quit smoking

Smoking has a great impact on fertility. Smoking can affect the secretion of sex hormones and kill the sperm trail, and the longer you smoke, the more deformed sperm you will have and the lower your sperm vitality will be. For the second time men who are planning to conceive should quit smoking at least six months before, do not smoke, and do not smoke passively.

Quit drinking alcohol

Long-term alcohol consumption over the years can be detrimental to the reproductive system and can easily lead to endocrine disorders and lower sperm quality. Therefore, for men who usually drink alcohol, it is recommended that you quit smoking and stop drinking when you quit smoking, and ensure that you do not drink alcohol during the first six months of pregnancy, in order to have a healthy baby.

Avoid constant heat

If the testicles are exposed to high temperature for a long time, it can inhibit the production and quality of sperm. Excessive frequency of hot baths and saunas have a great impact on the quantity and activity of sperm, so men who need to prepare for pregnancy should change these habits.

Avoid malnutrition

Since the nutritional status of the body can directly affect the quality of sperm produced, men also need to ensure adequate nutrition during pregnancy preparation, eat a healthy diet, and ensure adequate intake of protein, vitamins and trace elements to provide a sufficient nutritional environment for the production of high-quality sperm.

Stay away from toxic substances

During the preparation period, you should stay away from exposure to various radioactive substances, drugs, chemical substances and heavy metals to avoid serious damage to the male reproductive system, affecting the quality of sperm and genetic function, resulting in lower sperm quality and higher incidence of baby malformations and diseases. Therefore, you should stay away from these substances as much as possible, and those who are engaged in related work should also stop working for at least three months before considering pregnancy.

Adjust your mood

You should adjust yourself, keep your mood happy and optimistic, keep yourself and your wife in a relaxed and happy living environment, avoid the occurrence and influence of bad emotions, even if you encounter something not painful, you should take care of it and adjust it in time.

Moderate exercise, avoid fatigue

If men are in poor physical condition for a long time, their fertility level will be lower accordingly. It is very important for men who need to prepare for pregnancy to first adjust their physical condition, exercise moderately, enhance their physical fitness, rest on time and ensure that they are energetic.

Pre-pregnancy check-ups

In fact, it is very necessary to have a comprehensive preconception checkup during the preparation period. Preconception checkups not only can identify factors that are unfavorable to fertility and intervene early, which is conducive to eugenics, but also can provide health guidance and rationalize life and work conditions according to the checkup results, so as to be in the best condition to conceive a baby.
