Does taking medication after a pilonidal cyst removal interfere with sperm?

Patient's question:

Doctor, my husband had a lump on his neck two days ago. He went to the hospital for a thorough examination and was told it was a sebaceous cyst, which was then removed. He has been going to the hospital to change the dressing every day. We are planning to have a child this year. Will the medication he takes, both orally and topically on his neck, interfere with his sperm? Can I get pregnant?

Doctor's answer:

If it is a regular anti-inflammatory drug, it will never interfere with sperm quality. After the surgery, if you change the dressing every day, the local medication used for changing the dressing will also never affect sperm quality. Therefore, you can have a child this year. You should start taking folic acid three months before pregnancy, pay attention to a balanced diet, get more rest, avoid staying up late, and both partners should undergo pre-pregnancy tests to rule out underlying health conditions. Actively prepare for pregnancy.
