Men who plan to have a second child need to have a reproductive health examination.

According to experts, after the implementation of the second child policy, China's fertility level is expected to return to above 2.0, which is close to the normal population replacement of about 2. 1.

According to a survey, the number of sperm decreased by as much as 28.4% in recent 10 years, which means that some fathers who want to have a second child may have missed the second child policy.
