Recently, many friends have consulted: "I have passed the yang, can I prepare for pregnancy?" ”
For nearly a month, the spread of the new coronavirus gradually leveled off. Many friends have already "Yang Guo" and "Yang Kang"! But there are many friends who are worried about the sequelae of the new crown virus, especially studies have shown that the new crown will affect the quality of sperm in men, and some women feel that they have menstrual disorders after being infected with the new crown.
As a result, some people are worried about the impact of the new coronavirus on fertility: "Will I have the new coronavirus in my reproductive system?" "I'm overwhelmed, can I get pregnant?" "A lot of these problems plague people of childbearing age. So how long after "impotence" can I start preparing for pregnancy? Take a look at the analysis of medical experts.
Does the new coronavirus really affect reproductive function?
1) The impact of the new coronavirus on male reproductive function
Several studies have shown that the new coronavirus infection can negatively affect the male reproductive system and sperm quality. The testicles and epididymis, important reproductive organs of men, are very sensitive to temperature, so febrile diseases can easily affect sperm production, motility, morphology and DNA integrity.
Most of the new crown patients have fever, so the increase in body temperature will definitely have an impact on sperm quality. And studies have shown that the new coronavirus binds to ACE2 receptors in testicular cells, which can lead to changes in hormone levels and testicular dysfunction. Some basic studies and in vitro tests have shown that the new coronavirus can cause a severe decline in sperm quality for at least 3 months, even in people with mild and asymptomatic infections.
Therefore, for men, those who are ready to get pregnant after the impotence can go to a regular hospital for semen examination, and under the guidance of a professional doctor, carry out a pregnancy preparation plan, and it is recommended to start pregnancy preparation 3 months after Yangkang.
Chen Xiangfeng, deputy chief physician of the Reproductive Medicine Center of Renji Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, pointed out that the most correct approach should be individualized medical consultation, and Yangkang people with fertility plans can go to the reproductive center of the hospital for a comprehensive examination, including the assessment of the reproductive system of new crown infection, the detection of common pathogenic genes, etc., the doctor will comprehensively judge according to the test results, and finally give targeted pregnancy suggestions.
2) The impact of the new coronavirus on female reproductive function
Although there are currently few studies on the impact of the new crown on women's reproductive function, some small studies have shown that the new crown virus infection does not affect indicators such as hormones and ovarian reserve in women of childbearing age. And the new coronavirus was not detected in the follicular fluid and cumulus cells of women. Therefore, there is currently no evidence of an impact. As for some people who say that menstruation is delayed, dripping and menstrual color darkening after infection with the new crown, it may be related to excessive psychological burden.
Huang Hefeng, a reproductive medicine scientist and academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, pointed out that the vast majority of pregnant women without underlying diseases can be cured in a short period of time after non-severe new crown infection, and will not cause harm to the fetus. However, in patients with severe disease or serious complications during pregnancy, termination of pregnancy should be considered if necessary.
In short, the new crown virus has brought a lot of impact to our lives, but it mainly attacks our respiratory tract, the impact on reproductive function may not be as serious as rumored, we must look at it rationally, if you are worried about the impact of the new crown virus, you can go to a regular hospital for examination and assessment, and at the same time pay attention to "yang" to maintain a healthy lifestyle, as Zhang Boli suggested, turn yin temporarily endure first, quit smoking and alcohol.
