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 correct?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Based on the issue you have raised, we all know that smoking is harmful to health, but it should not have a direct impact on the fetus and is unlikely to cause fetal malformations.Advice: In this case, you can undergo regular prenatal examinations to monitor 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.
