Men's "five cents" in the issue of family planning

The health of a future child depends on the health of the parents - this slogan is not in anyone's doubt, but for some reason, all measures of prevention and prevention fall only on women. The role of a man in the mass consciousness is ungratefully reduced only to purely mechanical operations. In fact, the child's health begins long before pregnancy and ignorance of the health of parents can lead to subsequent suffering of the child. According to many studies and surveys, every third couple who come to register a marriage is already pregnant !!! In this case, voluntary and free medical examination, which is proposed to make young, already special weather will not do - the child is developing. But the pathology in its development, and as a consequence, the birth of children with flaws, can be prevented before conception. How a child is born depends not only on the mother, but also on the father. The latter, often do not know about their illnesses, and them - though the fence of the city. Let's ask ourselves the question - how much does the baby's health depend on each of the parents?

After all, half of the genetic information to the future child is transmitted by the mother, and half by the father. This is about the genetic side of the matter. The problems lie both in the quality of that genetic information and, in general, the possibility of becoming pregnant. Infertile families have long been a rarity, and in many cases - because of the health of a man.

What is going on with modern men? First, the number of spermatozoa in the sperm decreases. If 20 years ago their normal number was 60 million per milliliter, then at the moment the figure is approaching 20 million - little by little we are degenerating. Secondly, the quality of sperm in many cases leaves much to be desired. There are no rare diseases for chlamydia, mycoplasmosis, trichomonidase. Their imprints on semen leave venereal diseases, and even well-known infectious diseases, for example, ORBZ.

The worst thing is that the influence of these infections does not appear externally. Men do not even realize that they are sick. Also, the contaminated environment and food products affect negatively the health of spermatozoa.
What should a man do before becoming a father? The first thing that needs to be done is to be examined by a urologist. If the state of male health is normal, the specialist will prescribe to take vitamins to improve immunity, give up bad habits and give many other recommendations, depending on the type of activity and lifestyle.

Spermatogenesis (i.e., development of the sperm) occurs within three months. Therefore, in order to grow healthy spermatozoa, at this time it is necessary to minimize the effect of any poisons. This is especially true of shop workers, where there are emissions of aromatic hydrocarbons (at an oil refinery), paint and varnish industries, hot shops. The most dangerous for the future child are parents who work with ionizing radiation - it directly distorts the genetic information that is contained in the spermatozoa. Because it is just necessary to avoid such works.

Also need to abandon food products that contain harmful impurities: dyes, taste enhancers and other dangerous chemical compounds.

Dear men, if you are planning in the near future, or just once to become the parents of your children, understand that after a fight with your fists they do not wave. Or, to paraphrase the "andrological language" - if a woman becomes pregnant, then whatever you have there waved after, your "five cents" in the health of the child you have already invested and nothing can be changed.
