Patient's question:
I have been married to my husband for two years and we are planning to have a baby soon. I would like to understand what detailed tests are included in the male pre-pregnancy check-up at the hospital.Doctor's answer:
Male prenatal check-ups mainly involve tests for male inflammation, endocrine tests, perinatal tests, semen analysis, blood routine tests, and chromosome tests, among others. It is recommended that both partners maintain a positive mood during the pre-pregnancy period, pay attention to personal hygiene, clean the genital area, change underwear frequently, quit smoking and drinking, avoid consuming stimulating beverages like strong tea and coffee, engage in appropriate physical activity, maintain a regular schedule, avoid staying up late, ensure a balanced diet, and consider taking folic acid supplements before pregnancy.
