Patient's question:
Currently, the general situation is: preparing to get pregnant in the second half of the year. I would like to know what preparations need to be made before pregnancy? What gynecological examinations are recommended? What should my husband pay attention to? What tests should he take? Medical history and treatment outcomes: My physical health is not very good, I have a weak immune system, and I get sick easily. I would like to know if I need to supplement anything before pregnancy? For example, folic acid? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Hello! Pre-pregnancy Precautions:1. Do not drink alcohol or smoke;
2. Minimize or avoid exposure to poor environments;
3. Use medication cautiously;
4. Maintain a positive mood, pay attention to dietary structure, and balance work and rest;
5. Prepare for pre-pregnancy health checks. Both partners should consume more lean meat, eggs, fish and shrimp, animal liver, beans, and bean products, seafood, fresh vegetables, and seasonal fruits. Men should especially eat more eel, loach, pigeon, oyster, sparrow, and chives. Both partners should limit the intake of ham, sausage, salted meat, pickled fish, and pickled vegetables, and avoid smoked or grilled foods like lamb skewers. Consume fewer canned foods and reduce the consumption of drinks.
During the first three months of pre-pregnancy, folic acid should be taken. You can get a pre-pregnancy health check package at the hospital, such as Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, and a full set of tests for birth defects. For men, options include a full semen analysis and a prostate examination, etc.
