From ancient times till now, the matter of preparing for pregnancy seems both mysterious and bizarre.
But don’t think that preparing for pregnancy is only a woman’s business. You may not imagine the rumors in the field of male preparing for pregnancy.
As a professional reproductive andrology doctor, like a repeat machine every day, it is too inefficient to refute rumors by repeating them in the clinic. Therefore, this time Dr. Yang has caught up with the six rumors that have long been entrenched in the field of male pregnancy preparation. He will not say much, but will not be able to do so!
Men should also eat folic acid when preparing for pregnancy?
It is natural for women to eat folic acid in preparation for pregnancy. But the question is, do men also want to eat it?
A previous study by US scientists found a group of men and measured the proportion of abnormal sperm in their semen and their daily folic acid intake. The results showed that if they ate more folic acid, the proportion of abnormal sperm was lower.
Then some people in China began to advocate the theory that folic acid can reduce the probability of sperm problems based on this.
However, the group of people in this study are really too old (the average age is 45 years old). Based on their research results, we can only say that for older men, folic acid consumption may have some benefits in reducing the proportion of abnormal sperm. That’s all.
It would be irresponsible to rashly extend this conclusion to people of childbearing age in their 20s and 30s.
In addition, a large number of studies have shown that if your semen quality is normal, eating folic acid has no additional benefits. If your sperm motility is poor, eating folic acid will not improve sperm motility. If you eat folic acid in large doses (say 5 mg per day), it may even lead to genetic abnormalities in sperm.
Coke doesn’t kill sperm?
It is another result of erroneous research. The last one was an American scientist, this time a Danish scientist: after giving a group of young men Coke for a week, it was found that there was no difference in semen parameters before and after drinking Coke.
When someone saw this research, they were immediately overjoyed and hurriedly publicized [Coke does not kill sperm]. I wonder if the Coke factory sponsored you or what…
Please, a week is too short! The sperm production cycle lasts for 2 to 3 months. And who will drink cola crazily one week before preparing for pregnancy? Besides, drinking too much cola will make you fat. Fat, but it will seriously affect semen quality.
Therefore, don’t take chicken feathers as your direction. It is better to drink less cola.
Some OOXX positions are more likely to conceive?
Turn on the search engine and enter [what posture is the easiest to conceive]. The results are almost multifarious: some say [missionary], some say backward style, and even bend the knee position, chest and knee position…
Do you think this is acrobatics?
So far, no study has found which posture is more likely to conceive.
Moreover, studies have shown that 36 hours before ovulation, sperm can reach the fallopian tube from the cervical opening in only 5 minutes. In this short period of time, no matter taking what’s posture, those who should have entered have already entered.
Of course, it is even more nonsense to claim that some positions are easier to give birth to boys/girls.
Are jelly-like particles in semen not liquefied?
If you care about the appearance of your semen what as much as you care about food and vegetables, you may find that the newly ejected semen is like gel, and sometimes there will be small particles like jelly in it:
Then some people said that this is [semen does not liquefy]…
In fact, it is completely nonsense. The fifth edition of WHO’s “Manual for Laboratory Examination and Treatment of Human Semen” clearly states that such jelly-like particles have no clinical significance.
The so-called “non-liquefaction of semen” means that the ejected semen must be placed in a 37-degree incubator for one hour. If it has not become liquid, it can be called non-liquefied. This is not common.
Denial: It is completely normal to have jelly-like small particles in semen.
After eating [Viagra] during pregnancy, can’t you have children?
Very not easy to wait for the wife’s ovulation period, the result of the critical moment off the chain, hard up, how to do?
Have some [Viagra].
However, up to now, many people still regard [Viagra] drugs as a scourge, fearing that eating them will hurt their bodies and affect their future babies.
However, both Dr. Yang’s own research and meta-analysis combining a large number of other studies show that [Viagra] drugs have no adverse effect on semen quality.
Moreover, if your sperm motility is not good, [Viagra] may also play a role in improving motility.
Is repeated abortion in the first trimester of pregnancy a woman’s problem?
Great Chinese women have too many cauldrons in pregnancy: it is the woman’s problem not to be pregnant; However, if you can’t protect it, it is naturally the woman who takes the blame. However, the man often has nothing to do with himself.
However, for repeated pregnancy failures in the first three months of pregnancy, the woman’s factor can only explain 50% ~ 60% of the cases, and the rest needs to pay attention to the man’s factor.
The latest European diagnosis and treatment guidelines believe that there is a [moderate] relationship between sperm DNA integrity and repeated pregnancy failure. The man’s chromosome karyotype abnormalities (such as balanced translocation, Roche translocation, etc.) are also important causes of pregnancy failure.
Finally, let’s draw the main points of today-
-
Men do not need folic acid to prepare for pregnancy.
-
It cannot be said that cola does not kill sperm, and it is recommended to drink less when preparing for pregnancy.
-
As long as it can be shot inside, the posture is not important at all and does not affect the probability of pregnancy.
-
It is perfectly normal that there are small jelly-like particles in semen.
-
You can rest assured to eat Viagra during pregnancy preparation.
-
Repeated abortion, fetal stop and empty bag in the early pregnancy should be checked not only by the woman but also by the man.
