Patient's question:
Is it harmful to sperm after taking anti-inflammatory medication, and can you prepare for pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Hello! During the acute phase of, it is best not to perform a semen analysis to avoid affecting the accuracy of the test results. You can soak the affected area in a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution, then apply an anti-inflammatory ointment locally, and take oral anti-inflammatory medication to control the infection. After the inflammation is under control, you can then perform a semen analysis.To thoroughly control before a semen analysis, avoid masturbation, sexual activity, and nocturnal emissions for three days before the test, which helps improve the accuracy of the results.
For a routine semen analysis, abstinence for 5-7 days is generally sufficient. Prolonged abstinence does not affect the quality of the semen.
