What should men prepare before pregnancy?

Nowadays, many newly married friends are preparing to have children as soon as they get married. We all know that there are a lot of preparations to make before getting pregnant. Not only female friends have to prepare a lot, but male friends also have to prepare a lot. What do men need to prepare before pregnancy? The following content provides us with a detailed introduction to this. Let’s take a look at the following content to learn more about it.

1. Eat a balanced diet

Men's preparation for pregnancy includes many aspects, among which nutrition is one of the most important aspects. Only guaranteed nutrition can ensure the quality of sperm. Because the survival and growth of sperm requires high-quality protein, calcium, zinc and other minerals and trace elements, in addition to arginine and multiple vitamins, if the prospective father has a picky eating problem, it will inevitably lead to an unbalanced nutritional intake, which will affect the production of sperm and produce some "low-quality" sperm.

While the husband is not picky about food, he should also pay attention to taking in more special nutrients, such as zinc and arginine. These two nutrients are beneficial to the formation of high-quality sperm in foods such as oysters, turtles, eels, river eels, cuttlefish, etc.

2. Quit smoking and drinking

Preparations before pregnancy also include lifestyle habits. Men should pay special attention to it and must completely eliminate some bad habits during the pregnancy preparation period, such as smoking and drinking. Alcohol and cigarettes contain many harmful substances that can also kill sperm. Therefore, before making your wife pregnant, you should quit smoking and drinking, at least 3 months before conception.

3. Good mood

In order to ensure good eugenics, first of all, expectant mothers and fathers must pay attention to maintaining a good and stable mood. If they are often depressed, worried or irritable, it will cause dysfunction of the cerebral cortex, which will cause damage to the nervous system and endocrine function, thereby leading to unstable testicular spermatogenesis and sexual function. If this situation is not adjusted in time, it will seriously affect the production and quality of sperm.

4. Avoid contact with chemicals

Men are absolutely forbidden to come into contact with chemicals during pregnancy preparation, whether it is heavy metals such as lead and cadmium. These chemicals will damage men's blood testicles and further affect sperm production. In addition, there are industrial chemicals such as methotrexate, gossypol, chloropropane, and vinyl chloride that can affect spermatogonia. Therefore, husbands should pay special attention during pregnancy preparation and try to avoid contact with these chemicals before their wives become pregnant. Men working in metallurgy, chemical industry and other fields should strengthen scientific management to prevent harmful and toxic substances from running, bubbling, dripping and leaking.
