What are the methods for pre pregnancy self-examination

Some men believe that women's SEP examinations are more important in terms of fertility. Relevant data shows that most men fall into the misconception of pre pregnancy checkups: they believe that prenatal checkups are only for women and have nothing to do with men. Is that really the case?● Since the neglect of pregnancy examination [SEP], tragic babies have had birth defects and congenital disabilities in nearly 30 million families in Chinese Mainland, accounting for nearly one tenth of the total number of families in China. And currently, there are still nearly one million children with birth defects every year, of which 30% die, 40% are permanently disabled, and only 30% can be cured or corrected: birth defects have caused a heavy social and economic burden and enormous mental pressure to China! Experts point out that if every couple can carefully undergo pregnancy tests, this misfortune can be avoided. Unfortunately, there are currently very few people who strictly conduct systematic pregnancy tests. There are economic reasons for this, but a more prominent reason is that expectant parents do not attach enough importance to the importance of prenatal checkups.● Habitual miscarriage, stillbirth, and poor semen quality

Due to not participating in premarital sex check ups, Zhu Lin (pseudonym) wanted to have a pre pregnancy check-up with her husband before giving birth, but her husband insisted that the main purpose of the pre pregnancy check-up was to check the mother's body. Helpless, Zhu Lin had to go to the hospital alone... Experts from Wuxi Jianguo Men's Hospital pointed out that childbirth is a matter for both men and women. Although women bear more responsibility for childbirth, male health is also very important if they want to have a healthy baby. In pre pregnancy examinations, women mainly undergo virus screening, bacterial and microbial culture, and virus antibody testing, while men mainly undergo semen and reproductive system disease examinations. Habitual miscarriage and stillbirth in some people are related to poor semen quality in males. Therefore, both spouses should undergo a comprehensive examination together for better parenting.

● High cost of treating congenital diseases

So, what is a newborn birth defect?

The so-called newborn birth defects refer to abnormalities in morphology, functional metabolism, mental state, behavior, and other aspects that occur before birth, and are visible to the naked eye after birth. Among all newborn birth defects, the incidence of neural tube defects is higher. In addition to anencephaly and spina bifida, symptoms such as cleft lip, deafness, limb abnormalities, and congenital idiocy are also common. Experts point out that children with congenital defects not only have a higher risk of premature death, but also impose a heavy economic burden on their families and society. According to relevant departments' statistics, the direct economic losses caused by neural tube defects alone in China exceed 200 million yuan every year. The treatment cost of congenital idiocy exceeds 2 billion yuan, and the treatment cost of congenital heart disease is as high as 12 billion yuan. However, the possibility of curing these diseases is extremely small! Experts emphasize that men do not have immunity from pregnancy tests. With the development of society and the acceleration of industrialization, factors such as work pressure, environmental pollution, and sexually transmitted diseases have led to a decreasing trend in men's ability to "sow seeds" year by year. Moreover, diseases such as azoospermia do not necessarily cause discomfort on their own. Although pre pregnancy checkups have gradually received attention from society, they do not receive support from expectant fathers. There is a significant gender imbalance among the population undergoing examination. Most men believe that women are more important in terms of fertility, and they consider themselves very healthy, especially those who have undergone premarital checkups and are very confident. However, this is not the case. In pre pregnancy examinations, women mainly undergo virus screening, bacterial and microbial cultivation, and virus antibody testing, while men mainly undergo semen and reproductive system disease testing. Expectant fathers often have misconceptions about pre pregnancy examinations. Fertility is a matter for both men and women, and even expectant mothers need to take on more reproductive responsibilities. In order to have a healthy and high-quality baby, expectant fathers also need to be very healthy. Therefore, in the future, it is better for parents to undergo a comprehensive examination together for the next generation, "said a male specialist.

● Guidelines for "Creating" Healthy Baby Care "[SEP] Some people believe that" a cigarette after a meal is better than a living god ". Perhaps smoking can bring them temporary happiness, but this' living immortal 'is a silent and cruel killer for their future babies. Harmful components in tobacco can enter the reproductive system through blood circulation and directly or indirectly cause toxic effects. For fathers, smoking not only affects the success rate of conception, but also seriously affects the quality of fertilized eggs and embryos. In addition, long-term heavy smokers are more prone to sexual dysfunction and indirectly reduce fertility.

Experts emphasize that for the sake of the next generation, do not "live immortals"! If smoking ban is just a call for people, then it is a command for fathers to quit smoking at least three months to six months before preparing for pregnancy.

Alcohol abuse can cause alcohol poisoning in the body, affecting the reproductive system, reducing the number and vitality of sperm, increasing the rate of malformed and dead sperm, and thus affecting conception and embryonic development. Therefore, expectant fathers should not take risks and should avoid drinking alcohol. Some men believe that steaming sauna can clean and relieve fatigue. Little did they know, the testicles are most afraid of high temperatures. Sperm is most comfortable in an environment of 34 ℃ -35 ℃, while the temperature in a sauna can reach as high as 70 ℃ -80 ℃. Therefore, expectant fathers should not deliberately create high temperature factors. In addition, a regular lifestyle should be maintained, combining work and rest, exercising appropriately, and breaking bad habits such as staying up late. In terms of diet, it is important to ensure that the food is fresh and hygienic, and avoid consuming cottonseed oil. Each type of food has its own nutritional value and characteristics, and it is difficult to say which one is beneficial for eugenics. The diet should be as broad as possible and not picky about food.
