Which man makes it easier for a woman to get pregnant
In matters of successful conception, much more depends on a man than many people think.
Until recently, it was believed that infertility in a couple is a purely female problem. If she can’t get pregnant, then something is wrong with her. Now they have learned how to treat infertility: science has made great strides in the past 30 years. But in the USSR, this issue was approached very harshly: the methods were painful, complicated, and far from always successful.
Now doctors say: successful conception is equally dependent on both in a couple. Moreover, men are increasingly suffering from infertility, this is a global trend. Therefore, experts say that parents need to take care of the fertility of a future man – right from infancy.
Doctor of the highest category, urologist-andrologist of the network of centers of reproduction and genetics “Nova Clinic”
“It is necessary to timely identify such diseases as cryptorchidism, hydrocele, spermatocele, varicocele, the treatment of which will prevent the development of infertility. Of great importance is the diagnosis and correction of hormonal disorders, which often lead to a decrease in reproductive function and various andrological pathologies. ”
What Reduces Male Fertility
— Negative environmental factors: radiation, gas pollution of the external environment, hazardous production (paints and varnishes, oil products). Their impact must be excluded or at least minimized as much as possible.
— Unhealthy Lifestyle: abuse of alcoholic and tonic drinks, smoking. A sedentary lifestyle leads to congestion in the pelvic organs.
“Alcohol has a detrimental effect on health, impairing the functioning of the cardiovascular system, liver, pancreas and many other organs. Reproductive function also decreases. The main harmful effect of nicotine is the narrowing of the capillaries, which contributes to the deterioration of the nutrition of cells and tissues, as well as the disruption of spermatogenesis, ”the doctor explains.
— Improper diet: fast food, semi-finished products.
“It is necessary to limit as much as possible the consumption of fast food, which negatively affects the health of men. Over time, such food leads to obesity, as a result of which metabolic processes are disturbed, lipid metabolism worsens, and sperm indicators decrease. “
— Sedentary lifestyle: it leads to congestion in the pelvic organs.
– Bad neuropsychological condition… In particular, sleep problems: they lead to fatigue, depression, erectile dysfunction. As a result, chronic prostatitis develops, and in the future, sperm counts are steadily decreasing.
– Sexually transmitted diseases: infections often affect the back of the urethra, leading to infection of the seminal tubercle and epididymis, which can lead to male infertility.
What parents can do
From childhood, a child needs instill a love of sports and outdoor games… Physical activity improves blood supply, lymph outflow from the lower extremities and pelvic organs, increases testosterone and adrenaline levels in the blood.
Timely is very important tell your teenager about the need to use condoms… Yes, you have to talk to the boy about sex.
Inoculate correct eating habits: for this, you will have to eat right yourself, so that the boy does not have a craving for junk food.
Debug normal daily regime, which will become another healthy habit of the young man: good sleep, a positive emotional background in the family. By the way, a trusting relationship with parents is a chance that a teenager will not experiment with smoking and alcohol in order to prove his “adulthood” to mom and dad.
How to maintain male fertility for a long time
Already from the age of 20, it is necessary to carry out screening examinations:
spermogram according to strict Kruger criteria;
MAP test to exclude immunological infertility;
determination of sperm DNA fragmentation;
hormone tests;
diagnostics of inflammatory diseases of the genital organs and STIs.
To maintain fertility for a long time, you need to lead a healthy lifestyle, excluding bad habits and not forgetting about daily physical activity.
It is best to plan the birth of a child at 22-25 years old, when hormonal activity is at its peak, and the guy has not yet acquired chronic diseases. However, not every man is ready to become a father at this age. However, a man can cryopreserve his sperm in order to use it in the IVF program for the birth of a child in the future.
And what else?
It is more difficult for a woman to get pregnant if she does not feel that her chosen one is truly a reliable person who can be relied on. Psychologists say that in this case, a woman turns on one of the factors of psychological infertility: the body believes that the external conditions are not suitable for the birth of a child, and waits until better times come. So a really loving, caring guy has a higher chance of becoming a father. And if, at the same time, earnings allow it, then God himself ordered.
It turns out that the portrait of an ideal father looks like this:
he is mobile and physically active;
works in “clean” production or even in the office – sportiness will save;
lives in an ecologically clean place;
does not drink or smoke;
takes care of his health;
sleeps well (and does not even snore);
young – under 30 years old;
good genetics;
kind and reliable;
with a good sense of humor – without it we will get an exemplary bore.
