Q Is the male partner's sperm health also important in preparing for pregnancy?
A Half of the success in conceiving depends on male sperm health, so managing it together is more effective.
Detailed Answer
The Importance of Male Pregnancy Preparation
About 40-50% of infertility cases are due to male factors. Sperm count, motility, and morphology must all be normal to raise the chance of fertilization. Since sperm take roughly 72-90 days to develop, management should begin at least 3 months before planning for pregnancy to expect any real benefit.
In Korean medicine, sperm vitality is enhanced by reinforcing Kidney qi (sin-gi) and clearing heat-toxin (yeol-dok). Drinking, smoking, and excessive sauna use can cause sperm DNA damage, so stopping them immediately is advised.
