How can a man prepare for IVF? The IVF - in vitro fertilization procedure is indicated for those couples who have infertility and can solve the problem of obtaining offspring only with the help of reproductive technologies. The participation of men in the process of artificial insemination is the same as in the process of natural conception. Within the framework of the IVF protocol, on the appointed day, the man extracts the seminal fluid needed to conceive a baby. This procedure can be done by a man on his own, or (for medical reasons) using a biopsy and other surgical methods. The psychological mood of a man before the protocol is also important. The future father should understand that a woman will need comprehensive support during the period of therapy and during pregnancy. Recommendations in preparation for IVF On the part of a man, giving up bad habits is important. The health of his offspring can largely depend on this. This strong motivation should encourage the head of the family to abandon alcohol, smoking and any narcotic and psychotropic substances. A week before the IVF protocol, you should stop visiting the baths, saunas, take a hot bath. In general, everything that involves excessive heating must be avoided. This is due to the fact that normal sperm maturation is possible at temperatures up to 34 degrees Celsius. During training in IVF, physical activity must be reduced. This should be done several months before the procedure. It is necessary for a while to leave the gym, power sports, reduce physical activity at work. With static and sedentary work, walking will be helpful. It is worth abandoning too tight and dense underwear. The fact of its influence on sperm maturation is not scientifically confirmed, but there is an opinion that it negatively affects the reproductive health of men.

Such a schedule has a positive effect on sperm production and its renewal. All necessary tests and procedures before IVF will be prescribed by the doctor of the reproductive medicine clinic.
