Patient's question:
Married for over ten years, due to being busy with work in the early stages, I didn't want children and consistently used birth control. Now I want to have a baby and want to prepare well before conception. Is it necessary to have a thorough check-up at the hospital to examine sperm quality?Doctor's answer:
Sperm, as the vital "seed" for procreation, plays a crucial role in determining whether male fertilization can proceed smoothly and is a key indicator of whether natural, normal conception is possible. To conceive a high-quality, healthy baby, it is essential to undergo a thorough examination of semen routine at the hospital. Before the examination, it is recommended to abstain from sexual activity for five to seven days. Prior to conception, appropriate exercise, frequent bowel movements, and a high-protein diet should be maintained, while strictly avoiding smoking and alcohol. Infertility conditions can be prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to actively seek treatment at professional and reputable hospitals and consider treatment options based on examination results. Additionally, sexual activity should be restrained, and a positive mindset should be maintained. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
