Patient's question:
Does smoking affect pregnancy? Male, 22 years old. I have been smoking for 4 years. A few days ago, I wanted to have a child alone. But my wife said that I need to quit smoking for a year before she agrees to have a child. Is this right?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Based on the issue you mentioned, we all know that smoking is harmful to health, but it should not have a direct impact on the fetus and should not cause fetal malformations.Advice: In this case, you can regularly undergo prenatal examinations to observe whether the fetus is developing normally. Additionally, you can ask your husband to quit smoking starting now, as smoking is not beneficial for the pregnant woman, the fetus, or himself.
