Patient's question:
My wife and I are actively trying to conceive. Everyone says that men should supplement with zinc during the pre-pregnancy period, as zinc can improve sperm quality. So, I'd like to know specifically what foods are good for men's sperm during the pre-pregnancy period?Doctor's answer:
During pregnancy preparation, men should eat more fruits and vegetables. Foods such as beans, nuts, beef, lamb, fish, zinc supplements, milk, and eggs can help improve sperm quality. It is recommended that men smoke less, drink less alcohol, and get less sleep during pregnancy preparation. Eat less spicy and irritating foods. Sexual activity should not be too frequent, about 2-3 times a week. Excessive sexual activity can lead to a decline in sperm quality.
