Patient's question:
I once had a child with chromosomal abnormalities many years ago, and now I plan to have a healthy baby. However, I recently discovered that my husband has been using hair dye for over a decade, which worries me. I’m concerned about whether long-term use of hair dye could affect sperm quality, and if the previous child’s health issues might be related to this. What department should I visit for pre-pregnancy check-ups? I sincerely hope experts can help me.Doctor's answer:
Medical Analysis: Hello, if the hair dye is substandard and has been used for over ten years, it may cause skin damage, but it will not affect sperm. The issue with the previous child is unlikely related to the hair dye. However, for safety, it is recommended to check the sperm before pregnancy. You should go to a provincial medical institution, such as a medical college in the province, to undergo a chromosome test. Smaller hospitals may not be able to perform this test.Advice: Before pregnancy, it is advisable to get checked at a major hospital or a medical college to minimize the use of hair dye and avoid unnecessary complications. Wishing you all the best.
