How can IVF fathers improve their chances of pregnancy?
When couples want IVF, many people focus on the woman, but the father's physical condition also has an important impact on the probability of pregnancy. The following will elaborate on how IVF fathers can improve the probability of pregnancy from four aspects.
Maintain a healthy lifestyle
Father's health directly affects the quality and quantity of sperm. Therefore, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is crucial to improving the chances of pregnancy.
First, the father should maintain a moderate weight. Too fat or too thin body will affect the normal operation of endocrine system, thus affecting the quality of sperm. Maintaining moderate weight can be achieved through reasonable diet and proper exercise.
Secondly, father should stop smoking and limit alcohol consumption. Tobacco and alcohol are harmful substances to the reproductive system, which will reduce the quality and quantity of sperm. Stopping smoking and limiting alcohol intake can significantly increase the probability of pregnancy.
In addition, fathers should also avoid prolonged exposure to high temperatures. High temperature will damage sperm and reduce its vitality and quantity. Therefore, try to avoid soaking in hot water for a long time, sweating too much or contacting the heat source for a long time.
Consult professional doctors and conduct relevant examinations
In the process of IVF, the father needs to consult a professional doctor and carry out relevant examinations.
First, do semen analysis. Semen analysis can detect the number, vitality, morphology and other indicators of sperm, and help doctors judge sperm quality and pregnancy probability. If any abnormality is found, the doctor will give corresponding suggestions, such as improving living habits or other treatments.
Secondly, genetic disease detection. Some genetic diseases may be passed on to the next generation through sperm. Genetic disease testing can help couples understand their own genetic situation, so as to carry out corresponding intervention in the process of IVF.
In addition, if the father has other potential fertility problems, such as seminal vesicle stones, testicular torsion, etc., he should also consult a professional doctor in a timely manner and conduct corresponding examinations.
Maintain mental health
The process of IVF is a psychological challenge for both husband and wife. Good mental health can help regulate the balance of the body's endocrine system and improve the probability of pregnancy.
Father should actively participate in supporting his wife, support each other and face challenges together in this process. At the same time, some physical and mental relaxation activities, such as sports, reading, travel, etc., can be properly carried out to relieve pressure and maintain a good attitude.
In addition, if you find yourself or your wife has obvious psychological symptoms such as anxiety and depression, you should seek professional psychological counseling or treatment in a timely manner.
Reasonably arrange the time of IVF treatment and hospital selection
Finally, reasonable arrangement of IVF treatment time and selection of appropriate hospital also have an important impact on the father's pregnancy probability.
The choice of treatment time should be based on the doctor's suggestions and the physical conditions of both spouses. Before treatment, you can consult with a professional doctor in detail to understand your physical condition and the expected treatment effect.
It is also very important to choose a formal and reputable IVF hospital. This can ensure that doctors have professional skills and rich experience, and improve the success rate of treatment.
To sum up, improving the pregnancy rate of IVF fathers requires maintaining a healthy lifestyle, consulting professional doctors for relevant examinations, maintaining mental health, and reasonably arranging treatment opportunities and selecting hospitals. Through these measures, fathers can effectively improve the probability of pregnancy and realize the dream of IVF.
