Men who are preparing for pregnancy do not need to take folic acid.

Folic acid usually refers to folic acid tablets. There is no mandatory rule on whether boys should take folic acid tablets when preparing for pregnancy. If a boy is deficient in folic acid, he can take an appropriate amount. If he is not deficient, there is no need to take additional folic acid.

Folic acid supplementation is generally for women. It should be supplemented from 3 months before pregnancy to 3 months after pregnancy. However, it should be noted that men should generally avoid pregnancy 3 months before pregnancy. Avoid smoking and alcohol. Pay attention to keeping a comfortable mood during pregnancy preparation. Have more intercourse during the ovulation period of women to increase the probability of pregnancy. Pay attention to work and rest patterns, do not stay up late, do not overwork, and ensure the quality of sperm.

Men’s Pregnancy Preparation Precautions

1. Pre-pregnancy check-up

Male pre-pregnancy check-up needs to check male reproductive organs, blood routine, electrocardiogram, liver function, semen and Chromosomes, etc., through examination, it can be determined whether the male has a genetic history, whether the sperm is healthy, whether there are infectious diseases, etc. Any of these examinations can affect pregnancy.

2. Avoid sitting for long periods of time

Men who are preparing for pregnancy should avoid sitting for long periods of time and driving for long periods of time. Sitting for a long time will increase the pressure on the pelvic cavity, resulting in lower blood oxygen content, thereby reducing the energy of the reproductive system, ultimately leading to a decrease in sperm motility.

3. Stay away from radiation and drugs

Some men may be exposed to a large amount of radiation in their jobs. It is best to reduce the exposure to radiation during pregnancy preparation, preferably three months in advance. So as not to affect the survival rate and quality of sperm. During the pregnancy preparation period, you should pay more attention to your health and try not to get sick. Taking medication will have an impact on sperm quality.
