Compared to a few decades ago, there seems to be a saying that "the pregnancy rate is low" now, and many families are struggling to give birth to children. From a fundamental point of view, it is mostly influenced by the environment, stress, diet, etc. that lead to poor sperm quality in men and various problems in women's eggs and uterus. So how to improve the pregnancy rate is a question they have been thinking about.

Winter sperm is the healthiest and the pregnancy rate is the highest?

Many people make a fuss about the time of conception, believing that the success rate of creating a baby will be higher in winter among the four seasons of the year. Because high temperatures have an impact on sperm motility, they believe that "winter sperm is the healthiest and the pregnancy rate is high." This Is the statement correct?

In this regard, we asked Professor Zhuo Yumin, chief physician of the Urology Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Jinan University, to answer. He said that there is no evidence to prove that "winter sperm is the healthiest and the pregnancy rate is high." Because a man’s sperm production function will have a certain impact on sperm production throughout the year, at different times, in different moods, in different working environments, etc. Even if sperm is not affected by high temperatures in winter and the quality is a little higher, it has no obvious effect because the temperature of sperm still matches human body temperature.

Dr. Zhuo Yumin said that as long as men and women are in good condition, they can have children, no matter what the environment and time. As for why there is a saying on the Internet that "the pregnancy rate is higher in winter", this may be because of the winter weather, people have less outdoor activities, eat more at home, sleep more, and the whole person is in a state of leisure. There may be more sex, so the pregnancy rate may be increased at this time. This is caused by many factors.

How to increase pregnancy rate?

1. Calculate the woman’s ovulation period

If you want to conceive a baby more easily, of course you have to choose to have a baby when your girlfriend is ovulating. So how do you calculate the ovulation period? In fact, the ovulation period can be identified based on physiological changes. Before the ovulation period arrives, the body will show some signs, such as the vagina secreting mucus like egg white. In addition, generally speaking, the ovulation period will be about half a month before each menstruation. As long as you choose to have intercourse during this time period, you can greatly increase the chance of pregnancy.

2. Improve sperm quality

For men, the quality of their sperm is very important. There are several ways to improve sperm quality. One is to wear looser pants, including underwear, because tight pants will restrain the testicles and affect the sperm production function; the other is to quit smoking and drinking during pregnancy preparations, as tobacco and alcohol are harmful to the body. Huge, it will also harm sperm health; third, exercise more and sit less for too long, which is very important for office workers. Sitting for a long time puts great pressure on the prostate and testicles. Proper exercise can improve sexual function and thus improve sperm quality.

3. Eat healthy and reduce stress

The pregnancy rate can be increased through diet. Men can eat more zinc-rich products such as oysters. Women should not eat more fish, because a large amount of fat intake will cause the vaginal fluid to become acidic and kill sperm. In addition, as Professor Zhuo said, successful pregnancy is inseparable from a relaxed and good mental state, actively reducing stress in all aspects, and ensuring a happy mood every day. In this way, the chance of successful pregnancy will be greatly increased!
