In waiting for the appearance of the two red lines on the pregnancy test pack, most of the focus will of course be more on women. It is also unlikely that you will find a man with a pile of “How to Get Pregnant Fast” books in his hand. In fact, to be fertilized, it takes 2 cells to meet: an egg and a sperm cell. What can be done to increase male fertility so that your wife gets pregnant quickly?
1. Stop smoking
Several studies and literature have linked smoking with decreased sperm quality. This is supported by research conducted by the American Society for Reproductive Medicine which revealed that the sperm of a man who is an active smoker will be less, move slower, and are abnormally shaped. This condition also has the potential to trigger a decrease in the quality of the sperm in fertilizing an egg.
2. Stay away from the testicles from heat
Although it may only last a short time, being in a heated room at frequent frequencies can actually increase the temperature of the scrotum and potentially lead to a decrease in sperm count and quality. Apart from being in a heated room, a study revealed that putting a laptop on the lap also has the potential to increase the temperature in the scrotum.
3. Consult your gynecologist about your medicines
Consumption of several drugs such as drugs for high blood pressure and diabetes has the potential to affect the quality of a man's sperm. Even treatment in the form of chemotherapy and treatment in the form of radiation can actually cause infertility. Other diseases that you need to pay more attention to include medication in the form of steroids or hormones. Men with certain diseases should consult a doctor if he is expecting a pregnancy.
4. Eat healthy foods
It's not only women who have to get nutritious intake to have good eggs, this also applies to men. Some studies say that foods that contain antioxidants can increase sperm count such as vitamins C and E.
A diet rich in vegetables and fruit that is consumed directly will be more able to improve sperm quality than consumed in supplement form. But if you are planning to buy supplements, you should still need to consult first.
Apart from consuming healthy foods, you are also advised to control your weight. One study found that obesity has an impact on lowering testosterone, decreased sperm quality, and infertility.
5. Avoid some sports
Many studies have shown that some exercise has a negative impact on sperm. Running a marathon can actually have a negative impact on your fertility. Some researchers also say cycling or too long in a sitting position, for about 5 hours a week, can reduce sperm count and raise the temperature around the scrotum, especially when added to the shock and vibration and use of cycling pants that are too tight.
Good luck!
