My husband has high blood pressure. Can he have children?

Patient's question:

My husband has high blood pressure. Can he have children? His blood pressure has been on medication for over 15 years.

Doctor's answer:

Medical Analysis: Generally speaking, germ cells are not easily affected by drugs, mainly because the embryonic development period is more susceptible to drug influence.
Medical Advice: I don't know what antihypertensive medication your partner is taking. If it is a calcium antagonist, it will not affect getting pregnant. If it is a captopril-class drug, it is recommended to switch to calcium antagonist treatment first. Wishing you success in all your endeavors.
