In order to conceive a healthy baby, the husband also needs to undergo a pre-pregnancy check-up. In addition to ruling out family history of genetic diseases, pre-pregnancy examinations should also rule out infectious diseases, especially syphilis, AIDS, etc. Although the impact of the viruses of these diseases on sperm is not yet clear, these viruses may be passed from father to mother, and then Passed to the baby in the belly, causing the baby to have congenital defects.
The pre-pregnancy examination items for expectant fathers include physical examination, routine blood examination, routine urine examination, routine stool examination, liver and kidney function, semen testing, genitourinary organ, chromosomal abnormalities, sexually transmitted disease testing, etc.
The reason why expectant fathers should pay close attention to body temperature before pregnancy is that body temperature will directly affect the health of sperm. The testicles need an environment 1 to 1.5°C lower than normal body temperature (35.5 to 36°C) to produce sperm. High sperm will cause death. The scrotum is the \”temperature regulator\” of the testicles. When the local environmental temperature is 1 to 1.5°C lower than the body temperature, it can successfully produce sperm. High temperature can lead to reduced sperm number, sperm deformity, and low survival rate.
