Dr. He Haochen
Male qi deficiency may affect the chances of conception. Insufficient qi and blood in men can impair sperm quality, thereby reducing the likelihood of pregnancy. It is advisable to visit the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) department of a hospital for proper regulation and treatment before attempting conception. In daily life, maintain cleanliness and hygiene of the genital area, stay mentally relaxed, eat a balanced and varied diet, and consume more jujubes, animal blood, and animal liver. Avoid alcohol and smoking.
