Abnormal sperm quality
A normal male ejaculation volume of 2-6 milliliters per ejaculation, less than 1 milliliter or more than 6 milliliters, has a certain impact on fertility. Under normal circumstances, the number of sperm should be (50-100) × 106 per milliliter, if the number of sperm per milliliter of semen is less than 20 × 106 per milliliter can cause male infertility. If abnormal sperm such as small head, double head, double tail, and non shedding cytoplasm exceed 20%, or if sperm motility is weakened, it can also cause male infertility. The longer the interval between sperm production and excretion, the lower its vitality. Having sexual intercourse the next day during ovulation can increase the chances of conception, and the quality of sperm is the best.
Semen quality directly affects the quality of zygote, so semen examination is an important item in reproductive health examination. If the quality of sperm is poor or the number of sperm is insufficient, the probability of abnormal zygote is high. However, spontaneous abortion in the early pregnancy is mostly because the zygote itself is not healthy, the sperm is not healthy, and the embryo is difficult to survive.
Sperm motility is generally divided into 5 levels, with level 0 indicating no active sperm, which remains inactive even after heating; Level 1 indicates poor sperm motility and no forward movement; Level 2 indicates good sperm activity and slow waveform movement; Level 3 indicates rapid sperm movement, but with more waveform movements; Level 4 indicates that sperm generally move rapidly in a straight line. Normal sperm motility is generally greater than level 3, and when level 0 and level 1 sperm account for more than 40% of a single ejaculation, it constitutes the cause of male infertility.
Prostatitis
Many young men believe that prostatitis is a disease of elderly men and has little to do with themselves. Actually, being young is not a guarantee that the prostate will not become inflamed.
Gonococcal urethritis
Men suffer from sexually transmitted diseases, which may not have obvious symptoms in the early stages, but can be transmitted to their wives. Therefore, it is necessary for both spouses to undergo a reproductive and urinary system disease examination before pregnancy. Gonorrhea is a contagious disease that can be transmitted between couples. Genital infections on both sides have an impact on the fetus, with a greater impact on women. It is recommended that both parties undergo comprehensive reproductive health checks, and everything is normal to ensure the future health of the fetus.
Abdominal diseases
Fatty liver, chronic liver diseases (mainly hepatitis B or hepatitis B virus carriers), alcoholic liver, gastritis, gastroduodenal ulcer, colitis, etc. Before becoming a prospective father, it is necessary to identify abdominal diseases and seek treatment before considering childbirth.
Key points for preventing abdominal diseases
Do not drink excessively, even if it is a small amount of alcohol, it is necessary to eat a few bites of food first. It is not allowed to drink on an empty stomach. Drinking alcohol without eating can cause great harm to the stomach, easily leading to gastric ulcers and gastritis, and also detrimental to the liver.
Smoking is one of the causes of gastric ulcers and gastritis, and it is not enough to temporarily quit smoking in the first three months of planned pregnancy.
Don't be hungry and full, as this poses the greatest risk to gastrointestinal health. Sleep in less and strive for breakfast.
Men in the workplace, shopping malls, and social media face high work pressure, mental tension, general lack of sleep, and significant health overdrafts. Some people are already in a sub healthy state, only one step away from illness. Nervousness is one of the causes of gastrointestinal diseases.
The dietary structure is unreasonable, with an increasing number of obese men, and obesity can easily lead to fatty liver disease. Eat reasonably, stay away from social intercourse, go home, eat more light food, and arrange diet under the guidance of doctors and dietitian before pregnancy.
Exercise is becoming less and less, using cars as a means of transportation, watching TV, and playing computer games has taken up activity time. To engage in cycling activities, abandon elevators, take stairs, travel in the countryside, and engage in outdoor activities, effectively preventing gastric prolapse, gastric ulcers, general's belly, fatigue syndrome, etc. For couples preparing to get pregnant, it is best for both of them to take a 15 minute outdoor walk every day.
