During the period before a woman becomes pregnant, both the male and female parties usually make certain preparations, and this period is usually called the preconception period. Not only do women need to prepare for pregnancy, but men also need to do a good job of preparing for pregnancy for the health of their fetus. Do male friends know what to pay attention to when preparing for pregnancy?
Precautions for men preparing for pregnancy
1. Medication has an impact on the fetus
Medications not only have side effects on women, but also on men. After taking certain medications, they can enter the testicles through the bloodstream and be excreted with semen. The drugs in semen can be absorbed through the vaginal mucosa and enter the mother's bloodstream, affecting the development of fertilized eggs and fetuses.
2. Staying up late, smoking, and drinking excessively can affect sperm quality
A study abroad has found that some men who have a long-term habit of smoking, drinking, and staying up late have a considerable number of unqualified sperm, mainly due to lack of sleep, smoking, and alcohol abuse, and a few are caused by malnutrition. Generally speaking, smoking and drinking alcohol are the main reasons for the decline in sperm quality.
3. If you want to be a father, it's not advisable to grow a beard
Many people may express confusion upon seeing this, but in fact, growing a beard also has a significant impact on men preparing for pregnancy. Thick beard can absorb and contain a lot of dust and pollutants in the air, allowing them to enter the respiratory and digestive tracts, which is not conducive to the internal environment of sperm before fertilization.
The fundamental purpose of preparing for pregnancy is to improve the quality of the body and the vitality of the sperm itself, in order to prepare for conception. Many people think that only women need to prepare for pregnancy, but this is wrong. The quality of male sperm directly affects the process of conception, so the importance of male friends preparing for pregnancy is not necessarily lower than that of women.
