The main checkups during male preparation for pregnancy include routine semen examination, male ultrasound, pathogenicity test, sex hormone test, genetics test, and liver and kidney function test.
1. Routine semen examination: it can effectively evaluate the survival rate, number, deformity rate and mobility of sperms.
2. Ultrasound for male: The ultrasound examines the epididymis and testicles of men to clarify whether there are epididymitis, epididymal nodules, testicular atrophy and varicocele.
3. Pathogenetic testing: Chlamydia, gonococcus and chlamydia can be tested to clarify whether there is inflammation of the reproductive system.
4. Sex hormone test: including testosterone, pituitary prolactin, luteinizing hormone, etc., which can be used to evaluate the spermatogenic function of male testes.
5. Genetic test: including Y chromosome microdeletion test and autosomal test, which can reduce the probability of chromosomal diseases in the next generation.
6. Liver and kidney function test: to clarify whether there is any damage to the liver and kidney function, which in turn affects the preparation for pregnancy.
