Hello, my 6-year-old son fell ill with smallpox. My husband hasn't had smallpox yet. We are planning a second baby in the near future, and we learned that if our husband gets sick, we should wait 2 years before deciding to have another baby. Is it true? Can adult male pox affect the quality of his sperm?
Any infectious disease can worsen sperm condition. It is not true that you have to wait 2 years. You can apply for a child after recovery.
