Patient's question:
Last night, when I went out to play with a few buddies, I drank a lot of beer, and by the time I came back yesterday, I was already drunk. I'm worried that this might affect my fertility preparation. Could you please tell me how long it takes for sperm to return to normal after drinking beer?Doctor's answer:
Before men prepare for pregnancy, they should quit smoking and drinking for three months and should not take any medication. Therefore, if they have just consumed alcohol, it is best not to consider pregnancy at this time. Additionally, they should drink more water to help the alcohol metabolize out of their bodies more quickly. Specifically, how long it takes for sperm to return to normal varies, but generally, it should be at least one or two months before considering pregnancy.
